CMV Fabrication builds custom service bodies in both steel and aluminum, and the choice depends on what the operator values most. Steel is stronger and more resistant to denting, which matters for heavy-tool trades. Aluminum is lighter, which increases payload capacity and reduces fuel consumption over time. Both materials are finished with a powder coat for corrosion protection.
The decision often comes down to the truck's gross vehicle weight rating and what the operator needs to carry. A truck that runs close to its weight limit benefits from aluminum construction. A truck that carries heavy, sharp-edged equipment benefits from steel. CMV Fabrication can advise on material based on the operator's truck and loadout.
