The gentle bow is reinforced with anti-snag supports, positioned 24-inches on-center, to provide added strength without adding unnecessary weight. Water sheds quickly to minimize the possibility of infiltration that can compromise cargo. And an optional translucent roof is also available to take full advantage of ambient light throughout the cargo area.

Gold Star truck body wall construction can be spec'd to accommodate the products you move.

Aluminum Truck Body Wall Construction

Affordability and light weight are key considerations when it comes to selecting aluminum wall construction for your box, straight-truck or van body, because light weight adds up to reduced fuel consumption, and lower operating costs. But light weight doesn't mean compromised strength when you have Morgan ingenuity built-in!

Extruded aluminum top and bottom rails with 1 3/8" deep galvanized z-shaped steel vertical posts installed 16" on-center, provide superior structural support for your truck body and your payload. And the .040" aluminum skin exceeds industry standards. Aluminum is also corrosion-resistant, making it an excellent choice when it comes to protecting your cargo from the elements.

Morganplate Truck Body Wall Construction

Morganplate delivers a unique combination of strength and versatility for those who recognize the value in having your truck body perform double-duty as both a delivery or service vehicle and an excellent marketing tool.

Composite construction consisting of two external skins thermally bonded to a high-density polyethylene core, makes Morganplate strong, durable, energy absorbent and impact resistant. Innovative design and quality construction help to protect your valuable cargo on the inside; while outside, Morganplate's clean, uninterrupted surface is a perfect canvas for custom-graphics.

Morgan's FRP panels include a plywood core (3/8" on truck bodies less than 18' and 1/2" on truck bodies more than 18'), entirely encased in polyester resin, reinforced with high-strength woven fiberglass. It's tough. It's durable. And it resists dents and scratches, inside and out. The smooth body exterior surface is also a great place to display custom-graphics and promote your business.
