Innovation is evident in Altec’s Bodies Division. A truck-mounted body – whether it is a service, utility, or tree care body – is only as good as the sum of its parts. That’s why Altec puts more time, resources, engineering and expertise into developing Bodies than any other manufacturer in the industry. From design to fabrication, Altec is building the highest quality, most dependable bodies to meet customer demands.

At Altec, they believe a better body starts from the ground up. Options are offered that go beyond the standard, so you can truly find a solution to work for your specific needs. You can even work directly with a design engineer and see your body created in 3D, so you know what you’re getting before it’s delivered.

In addition to Fiberglass and Aluminum, Altec Steel Bodies are built with a smooth galvannealed floor and tail shelf, which offer improved resistance against corrosion, with the added bonus of being easier to paint, weld and form. The galvanneal surface is coated in a non-skid paint, and provides the same anti-slip as tread plate, with greater corrosion protection. Altec also offers the “ICE Package,” which uses stainless steel to provide an extra shield against corrosion.

Altec uses advanced paint techniques and systems to deliver a top quality automotive finish. The custom, multi-step prime coat process and top coat provides extraordinary protection from the elements–all done in-house before your body sees daylight.

Altec Aluminum Bodies are corrosion-resistant and improve payload, while increasing lifespan and resale value. Aluminum is up to 45% lighter than steel and results in an approximate 10% fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs.

• Seamless design easily accepts a variety of paint finishes.
• Aluminum offers a choice to step down to a decreased Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) chassis.
• Aluminum is offered on standard service bodies, utility line bodies, flatbeds, enclosed service bodies, and accessories.
• Altec Aluminum Bodies are made of 65% recycled material.

Altec has been manufacturing Steel Bodies since 1929, so they know you want a heavy-duty, built-to-last truck body that works for you. That’s their standard, and it has made them the leading producer of utility line bodies. Altec is proud to say the utility industry prefers their Bodies over any other, and they intend to keep it that way.
