Dry Freight Truck & Van Bodies

Collins dry freight aluminum van bodies are the premiere dry freight van body on the market today. They are used by many industries including major lease and rental companies, general freight delivery, home delivery, office supply delivery and courier delivery.

The quality and finish of our van bodies are second to none. We build our bodies using one of the most aerodynamic radius front nose cap systems in the industry. An extremely important feature in this era of high fuel costs.

We offer a full range of options to tailor your van body to your specific business requirements.
