Custom Truck Body Engineering

Custom Truck Body Engineering turns a buyer requirement or technical drawing into a finished special purpose body on a HOWO chassis, built to operate in demanding overseas conditions with full compliance to international standards.

The Problem

What Goes Wrong Without It

Standard truck bodies that do not match the exact site or operational needs of a municipal or industrial fleet
Lack of local support for repairs when imported bodies use non-standard components or proprietary systems
Delays caused by mismatched chassis and body configurations that require on-site modifications
Inadequate structural design for heavy-duty use in rough terrain or extreme climates
No factory testing or documentation before shipment, leading to operational issues after delivery

Requirements

What Buyers Ask for

A body designed to exact technical drawings or site-specific requirements
Compatibility with Sinotruk HOWO or SITRAK chassis, and other approved chassis from Dongfeng, FAW, JAC, Shacman, ISUZU, IVECO and others
Full compliance with A2 and C2 pressure vessel standards, including non-destructive testing and heat treatment
Factory testing and verification before shipment, with photos and videos provided before final payment
Clear documentation including technical manuals, assembly instructions, and warranty terms

Step by Step

How This Works

Submit technical drawings, specifications, or operational requirements to the engineering team

Receive a quote and technical review within 5 working days, including material and component selection

Confirm design and proceed with 30 percent T/T deposit to start production

Production follows on one of 16 assembly lines with 2000+ sets of large scale equipment

All bodies undergo 100 percent testing including pressure, non-destructive, and physical/chemical tests

Photos and videos of the completed body sent before the 70 percent balance payment

Final inspection and shipment arranged via Ro-ro, bulk ship or container from a China main port
