Leaders in
Payload Efficiency
Charnwood Commercial Bodies delivers exceptional payload performance with lightweight low-loader Luton bodies for 3.5-tonne vehicles. Our focus on quality, innovation and value ensures outstanding efficiency for every client.
Our flagship model, the Enfield, is built on a low-floor platform cab and achieves a market-leading payload capacity of up to 1,350kg — almost half a tonne lighter than a standard box van. This design allows businesses to carry more with every journey, improving operational efficiency and profitability.
For those needing a more traditional Luton van or specific internal dimensions, we offer a full range of body specifications to suit different requirements. Charnwood also builds other lightweight vehicle bodies, including curtain sides, dropsides, fridge vans and TM vehicles, each designed to maximise usability and payload potential.
What we do
Innovative Solutions
We pride ourselves on working closely with internationally recognised commercial vehicle manufacturers. By holding EC Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA), we ensure that every body we build meets uniform standards of excellence. This dedication guarantees that our products not only meet but actually exceed industry expectations.
At Charnwood Commercial Bodies, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that enhance the productivity and profitability of your fleet. Discover the difference a Charnwood conversion can make for your business today.
