Lorry Body Types We Manufacture
From standard aluminium and steel bodies to fully custom builds, USRI manufactures the full range of lorry and truck bodies for Sri Lankan businesses.
Every business has different cargo, routes, and requirements, which is why USRI manufactures a full range of lorry and truck body types rather than a single standard product. Whether the need is a lightweight aluminium body, a rugged steel half body, an enclosed canopy or container, or a fully custom build like a mobile kitchen or advertising vehicle, USRI's workshop is equipped to build it.
