Flexibility at full throttle – swap bodies

03. 09. 2024 | BACKSTAGE NEWS

Swap bodies are becoming increasingly popular in the transport sector thanks to their flexibility and efficiency. This system allows quick and easy interchange of different body types on a single chassis, which significantly increases vehicle utilisation and reduces overall transport costs.

The main advantages of swap bodies are:

– Flexibility:

Variety of loads: One vehicle can be used to transport a wide range of goods, from bulk materials to pallets or liquids.

Quick adaptation.

– Efficiency:

Higher vehicle utilisation: Thanks to the ability to quickly change the superstructure, the vehicle is always in use and does not waste time standing around loading or unloading.

Cost reduction:

Fewer vehicles: more modes of transport can be handled with one vehicle, reducing fleet acquisition and maintenance costs.

Route optimisation: Vehicles with swap bodies can be better used to optimise routes and reduce fuel costs.

– Other benefits:

Cargo protection: Specially designed superstructures ensure the safe transport of different types of goods.

Increased productivity: Faster vehicle turnaround leads to increased productivity and shorter delivery times.

Reduced vehicle wear: More frequent body changes reduce chassis wear.

When are swap bodies the ideal solution?

For carriers with a diverse customer base: If you transport different types of goods, swap bodies allow
you to better tailor your offering to customer requirements.

For companies with high flexibility requirements: if your transport needs change frequently, swap
bodies give you the agility you need.

For companies looking to reduce transport costs: If you want to optimise the use of your fleet
and reduce overall costs, swap bodies are an effective solution.
