Bespoke Commercial Vehicle Bodies since 1920

What Commercial Vehicle is Best For My Business

Any business that relies on commercial vehicles for its success must carefully consider its options before spending a large amount of its budget on a business vehicle. Osborne Motor Bodies provides a wide range of commercial vehicles at cost-effective prices.

Not only can you buy a commercial vehicle body from us, but we also provide all the vehicle
conversions you need to adapt your vehicle to meet your company’s needs. You can start with any of our basic commercial vehicle bodies and have them customised by our team of vehicle conversion specialists in our workshop.

You don’t even need to buy a commercial vehicle body from us to benefit from our services. We can supply high-quality used commercial vehicles for our customers. You can then choose to have any modifications done to your vehicle to ensure it is ready to work hard for your company from the moment you collect it from our workshop.

Choosing your commercial vehicle

Our team at Osborne Motor Bodies have years of experience in the commercial vehicle sector. Whether you need a small, lightweight van to perform collections or deliveries for your business or a heavy-duty flatbed lorry to move around heavy loads, we have got you covered!

Our range of commercial vehicles includes:

Beavertail Trucks: Our all-alloy construction Beavertail trucks offer higher strength and
performance for heavy-duty industrial use. We supply these trucks with three tie-down rings on each side. Steel rear bearer with lights, number plate, ramp hook, and side marker lights.

Plastic wings and mud flaps. These trucks are ideal for carrying wheeled equipment or
smaller vehicles such as mini-diggers and cranes. The truck’s name comes from its rear
loading ramp, which lowers close to the ground like a beaver’s tail.

Dropside trucks for heavy load hauling: Our dropside trucks come in three specifications to deliver our customers with cost-effective payload options. These trucks are ideal if you have a building or landscaping company that requires a robust vehicle to carry a heavy payload.

The drop sides make it easy to load a heavy pallet of bricks with a forklift. These trucks
come with a large flatbed base with enough room to load mowers, strimmers, gardening
tools and equipment and take away garden waste for safe disposal.

Luton/box vans for deliveries: Ideal for bakeries, cake makers and florists where a large vehicle isn’t needed, but you still need a vehicle with plenty of elbow room and roof height.

Our Luton/box vans are perfect “in-between” options where a transit van is too large but you
need something bigger than an estate car or small van. We can fully customise the interior
for you by adding shelving, interior lighting and more – tell us about your business, and we
can work out an interior design that will work perfectly for you! Box vans also offer a great
advertising opportunity for your company with their spacious external side panels.

Refrigerated vans: We offer standard factory panel vans that we convert into refrigerated vans for dairy and grocery delivery businesses that need a mix of ambient, chilled and
frozen storage. We line and insulate these vans and fit them with Hubbard or GAH
refrigeration. Options include shelving and racking – tell our commercial vehicle team what you want, and we will develop a CAD plan to meet your needs.

Tipper bodies: Our tipper trucks are built on electro-hydraulic under-body tipping sub-
frames. We offer three specifications giving end-users the price and payload options to suit
their requirements. These are an excellent choice for construction companies that need to
lift, transport and deliver loose building materials, such as gravel, topsoil, sand and wood
chippings, in bulk.

We can also modify our range of Luton/box vans and flatbed trucks to tow trailers. This is useful if you need to tow generators, temporary traffic lights or other essential equipment for your work.

Why choose Osborne Motor Bodies?

We offer a one-stop-shop solution for all of your commercial vehicle needs. Very rarely will a business find a commercial vehicle perfect for their needs that come straight off the production line.

In most cases, your business can be more efficient and productive when your commercial vehicle has been customised to meet your individual needs. We supply manufacturers’ chassis cabs and customise the bodywork to meet your specifications.

This means that you can buy a commercial vehicle for your business that is ready to get to work for your business from the moment it leaves our workshop. You can also provide us with a new or used chassis that you have purchased yourself, and we will perform all the bodybuilding services you need.

If you are setting up your business and buying your first commercial vehicle, you may need help calculating the actual vehicle payload you will need. The vehicle payload is the difference between its Gross Mass and the Kerb Mass (Unladen Weight). Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs, and we will offer you free advice and guidance to ensure you choose a commercial vehicle with the correct payload to meet your needs.

Remember that if you want to add a lot of equipment to your vehicle, this will also affect the payload. So, for example, adding tail lifts or refrigeration equipment, plus the driver and any additional passengers or crew mates, will all add up.
