Commercial Vehicle Conversions: With over 100 years of history, Osborne Motor Bodies Ltd has developed a unique suite of specialist vehicle bodybuilding skills. Starting initially with milk delivery vehicles, our team expanded our range over the decades to include glass-carrying vehicles, light commercial and utility vehicles, and bespoke, one-off custom conversions.
Our flexible vehicle conversion services can be applied to vehicles you currently own, or we can supply you with brand-new or previously owned vehicle bodies. Our team has unrivalled knowledge and experience in this industry. Our dedicated workshop includes the latest tools and equipment to deliver outstanding customer service.
Whether you are a small business that needs a single standard panel van fitted out with racking, shelving, power and lights or refrigerated units or a utility company that wants to add a tipper body or crane to a vehicle, we can help!
Why choose Osborne Motor Bodies?
With so many different types of commercial vans available on the market, you would think that a buyer's needs will easily be met. However, standard commercial vans are sold as basic vehicles and not tailored to any specific business sector.
By working with our team of commercial vehicle conversion specialists, you can get a tailor-made solution for your business needs. We take basic standard panel vans, box trucks or utility vehicles and fit them with bespoke features to make them more suitable for your business needs.
Our vehicle conversions come in many forms, from flatbed pickups and tippers to refrigerated vans and utility vehicles. While you can get generic DIY conversion kits to adapt your vehicle, you won't achieve a bespoke conversion perfect for your business.
The benefit of working with Osborne Motor Bodies is that your conversion work will be conducted by fully qualified and experienced vehicle conversion specialists and will comply with UK vehicle regulations for safety. We also offer our flexible conversion services at cost-effective prices suitable for your budget.
Meeting UK vehicle regulations
We offer a variety of standard commercial vehicle bodies to choose from and can deliver you a fully converted vehicle tailor-made to suit your business needs. We will work closely with you to devise a plan for your vehicle conversion, which you can review and sign off on before we start work.
Our cost-effective conversion solutions are tailored to meet your unique needs. We go above and beyond any basic adaptions needed to make your vehicle work better for your business. With so many years of experience in the vehicle conversion industry, we love nothing better than to get our teeth into a new challenge. If you want to think outside the box for your vehicle conversion, bring your ideas to us, and we can tell you if they will be viable.
Our commercial vehicle conversions are carefully designed to comply with UK regulations. So, for example, if you want us to add passenger seats to the rear of your commercial van to carry team members to a work site, your work will be carried out to comply with Regulation 100 of The Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 (SI 1986 No. 1078).
Whenever conversion work is carried out on commercial vehicles that affect the weight, distribution, packing and adjustment of a vehicle's load, we consider this in the planning stage to ensure your vehicle is safe and meets government regulations.
