Why Pacific Bodyworks chooses Aluminium for fabricating their Custom Truck and Ute Bodies

Aluminium’s emergence as the material of choice for custom truck and ute bodies is no mere trend; it’s a reflection of the metal’s superior characteristics tailored for modern vehicular needs. Here’s why aluminium stands out:

Lightweight Yet Durable:

Aluminium’s key advantage is its weight—or lack thereof. It’s significantly lighter than traditional steel, cutting down the overall weight of the vehicle. This not only allows for an increased payload, meaning more equipment can be carried without overburdening the vehicle, but also offers a reduction of up to 300 kilos compared to steel bodies.

Fuel Efficiency and Sustainability:

The reduced weight from using aluminium directly impacts fuel efficiency. Lighter vehicles consume less fuel, which can lead to substantial cost savings over the vehicle’s lifespan. Furthermore, aluminium’s lighter weight exerts less pressure on tires, enhancing fuel economy. Plus, aluminium production is known to be more eco-friendly, often involving a high percentage of recycled materials.

Resistance to the Elements:

Aluminium is renowned for its corrosion-resistant properties, making it a stellar choice for vehicles that must endure harsh weather conditions like snow, ice, salt, and road grime. Unlike steel, it doesn’t rust, which means an aluminium body will retain its integrity and appearance over time without the need for frequent repairs or replacements due to corrosion​.

The Pacific Bodyworks team understands these benefits and thus opts for aluminium in their custom truck and ute bodies. Their choice reflects a commitment to quality, efficiency, and durability, ensuring that their builds not only meet but exceed the expectations and demands of their clients.
