Canopy Bodies
Enclosed canopy bodies built to protect cargo from weather and keep goods secure in transit.
A canopy body encloses the cargo area of a lorry or truck, protecting goods from rain, dust, and sun while adding a layer of security during transport and loading stops. USRI manufactures canopy bodies as part of its standard product range, built with the same fabrication standards and materials used across its full lineup of lorry bodies.
Why Choose a Canopy Body
- Weather protection, keeps cargo dry and shielded from sun and dust during transport
- Added security, an enclosed structure is harder to access than an open flatbed, reducing risk during stops and overnight parking
- Suited to varied cargo, practical for goods that need protection but don't require a fully sealed container, such as general trade goods, packaged items, and mixed loads
- Access design, typically built with rear and/or side access for practical loading and unloading
