Benefits
Some of the benefits of aluminium truck
bodies are listed below: |
|
|
Payload advantage
The truck with aluminium body has a lighter
body weight compared to traditional containers
and can carry more load. Lower weight
also translates into additional savings
to the business in terms of increased
mileage and less engine and tyre wear.
|
|
|
Long life
Maxloader™ has proved its worth over
the years. Its long life ensures that
it outlives the life of any truck. Since
aluminium refrigerated and insulated bodies
have high resistance to corrosion and
rusting, they are best suited for frozen
food and seafood transport. Aluminium
insulated bodies can easily last for 15
years or more. |
|
|
Lower fabrication time
The Maxloader™ kit takes less time
to fabricate. It is available in a pre-fabricated
mode that can be fitted on the vehicle
within 24 hours. Maxloader™ insulated
bodies take far less time for fabrication
than the composite type. |
|
|
Easy to repair
The structure of Maxloader™ ensures
easy replacement of individual panels,
which is a cost and time saving factor.

|
Fish segment for short distance
transportation (half-sided body) |
| |
::
|
Cement distributors (Half-sided
/ double-axle vehicles) |
|
|
Reduces fuel consumption
Replacing heavier body material with aluminium
has shown an increase in mileage because
of its higher strength-to-weight ratio.
Use of Aluminium in truck bodies results
in less money used and less fuel consumed.
In India, the use of aluminium extrusions
for load bodies is limited due to the
lack of a sustained campaign about the
overall benefits and proper legislation
to encourage the shift. |
|
|
Saves foreign exchange
An aluminium truck body decreases the
weight of the truck by 10 per cent, which
is equivalent to a 10 per cent saving
in fuel consumption. Thus, trucks with
aluminium bodies hold forth a huge potential
for additional foreign exchange savings. |
|
|
Cleaner environment
A reduction in the consumption of diesel
will translate into cleaner environment
making India a better place to live in.
Therefore, use of aluminium bodies in
vehicles will assist in reducing pollution
and making environment cleaner. |
|
|
Greener surroundings
Use of all-aluminium truck bodies would
ensure that India remains green. Wooden
truck bodies involves the felling of trees,
which will be avoided if there is a shift
to aluminium truck bodies. |
|
|
High resale value
Aluminium truck bodies have numerous advantages
like longer life, higher value and greater
benefits. Vehicles fitted with Maxloader™
will consequently have a higher resale
value. |
|
|
Recyclability
Aluminium can be easily and endlessly
recycled, which makes it environment-friendly
and valuable. Recyclability of aluminium
helps to save a lot of energy. |
