Van bodies allow your business to move your product, tools, equipment and other assets securely while serving as a moving billboard for your company. DuraMag van bodies are ideal for a variety of industries. Our DuraLite series best serves companies that need to navigate through narrow and winding city streets such as parcel deliverers, furniture merchants and appliance retailers. The DuraMag Series caters to our customers who require a van with a forklift, lift gates and walk ramps such as medical suppliers or moving and storage companies. A van body allows your company to take your warehouse mobile, and regardless of the industry you’re in, there is a DuraMag van body model that fits your business.
Van Body vs. Flatbed
Choosing a van body vs. a flatbed to transport your cargo has many benefits. First, van bodies allow your company to remain organized before, during and after deliveries. Our van bodies offer shelving options among other organizational features to help your deliverers remain completely organized. Second, you no longer have to worry about weather concerns when you’re delivering during the rainy spring season, or the cold and snowy time of year. Also, your equipment and products are always protected when you’re transporting them in a covered, lockable vehicle.
Finally, your van has the ability to act as your company’s moving advertiser! Rather than relying on the small amount of space that a pickup truck can advertise, you now have an entire blank canvas to display your logo, website URL and other company contact information. A van body is a smart investment for your company.

Our expert designers can work with you to determine your goals with a custom van body, then draft a preliminary design based on your feedback.
Once you’ve signed off on the final concept, your custom body will take an average of 4-5 weeks to be delivered. Bodies that involve ordering custom 3rd party components can take longer, but this is the exception not the rule.
