New Lightweight Fiberpanel™ HC Truck Body Walls from Supreme Industries
Supreme Industries has introduced a new lightweight side wall design from engineered to allow fleet operators and other delivery truck owners to increase payload capacity and decrease overall operating costs per load.
Called FiberPanel™ HC, the product is now available on Supreme’s Van Body or Iner-City® truck bodies. Built with a durable, fiberglass-reinforced, gelcoated honeycomb side wall material, an approach recognized for its superior strength-to-weight ratio,FiberPanel HC side wall reduces the overall weight of the truck body to increase payload capacity and possibly fuel efficiency.
A 14’ Supreme SIGNATURE Van Body with FiberPanel HC side walls with a composite rear roll-up door weighs 288 pounds less than a comparable size truck built with standard Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood (FRP) side wall materials.
“Reducing operating costs is always a priority for our work truck owners and increasing your payload can decrease the delivered cost per pound of each load,” said Mark Weber, Chief Executive Officer of Supreme Industries.
The product utilizes a polypropylene core that does not absorb moisture, keeping the side walls safe from water damage and allowing for an extended life.
Additionally, it provides a rivet-less external surface, the outer side wall surface remains completely smooth, so the truck owner’s branding stands out.
