Build it your way

Options are priced with your configuration — ask for them in your quote.

Knock-down shipping (toolboxes removed, boom and underlift detached) fits more units per container but adds unloading and assembly at destination.

Custom colors are matched as closely as possible from a RAL code or sample photo; a slight difference cannot be excluded.

Will it fit your truck?

Chassis dimensions vary, so every body is built to the truck it goes on. Measure the points below and send them to us — we come back with a fitted configuration and a price.

Need the complete truck, not just the equipment?

We build finished vehicles too — 11 wrecker models and 10 flatbed carriers on Isuzu, Dongfeng, Howo, Foton, Iveco and Shacman chassis, LHD or RHD, driven off the ship and straight to work. Same factory in Suizhou, same people you are talking to here. Mounting equipment on a chassis you already run usually costs far less import duty; a complete truck saves you sourcing the chassis and finding a body shop.
