DuraMag’s platform truck bodies are considered the premium platform body in the industry for several reasons. Our platform bodies are made of aluminum rather than steel, which makes them strong yet lightweight, require less fuel and they will not rust. Additionally, our truck bodies have a higher payload capacity, less chassis wear and tear and use a more environmentally-friendly manufacturing process. In fact, DuraMag is a proud member of the NTEA as well as the Green Truck Association.
Platform bodies allow users to more efficiently transport necessary equipment and materials to and from job sites. Perfect for hauling bulky, dirty material the platform hauler is ideal for several industries such as the construction field, landscaping companies and more. Our customers transport everything from bricks and stone to expensive heavy machinery on our platform bodies. Additionally, to fit your businesses’ needs, our truck bodies are also able to be customize. For example, specific deck and side options as well as flooring and additional lighting can be added to our platform bodies.
5 Key Features of our Platform Bodies
All DuraMag® beds have LED lights with a wire harness that uses heat shrink butt connectors. All lights are rubber mounted in box tube extrusion that protects them from corrosion and damage.- DuraMag® wiring is fully concealed inside box tubing with nothing exposed to the weather (unlike most of our competition). This is a significant consideration as “wiring exposed to the elements” is right behind “rust” in important considerations to minimize future problems.
- Truck Resale Value: Your DuraMag® bed not only saves you money along the way, it generally increases the value of your truck at time of sale. Rusted bodies are actually a liability.
- Value: DuraMag® beds are competitive with, and in some cases less expensive than, Steel beds. For all the value added – and for all the cost and risk associated with the Steel option, it makes the decision easy.
- DuraMag® beds can be fully customized. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to kick around some option ideas, feel free to call the factory directly (207-660-4700). Our hours are 8-5 M-F, EST.
