Buy, Sell & Exchange Lorries
Looking to upgrade, downsize, or move on from your current lorry? USRI helps clients buy, sell, and exchange full and half body lorries, and can source specific vehicles on request.
Not every transition involves building something new. USRI supports clients through the process of buying, selling, and exchanging full or half body lorries, a practical option for businesses looking to change their fleet without starting from scratch. Full body and half body lorries are common, actively traded vehicle types in the Sri Lankan commercial vehicle market, and USRI's decades of experience in the industry mean clients get an informed, trustworthy party to work with.
How It Works
- Selling your lorry, if you're upgrading to a new build or a different body type, USRI can help facilitate the sale of your existing full or half body lorry
- Buying a lorry, clients looking for a full or half body lorry can enquire about available options; USRI occasionally holds vehicles it has purchased for resale
- Sourcing a specific vehicle, if a client needs something particular that isn't currently available, USRI can locate and purchase the right lorry on the client's behalf, then either sell it directly to the client or fit it with the body the client needs
- Exchange, trade an existing lorry as part of moving to a new or refurbished body
USRI doesn't maintain a public, standing inventory listing, availability depends on what's been sourced at the time, but clients with a specific need are encouraged to enquire directly.
