At Lincoln Commercial Bodies, we engineer bespoke Box Van bodies designed for the most demanding logistics environments. Using high-quality GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) construction, we provide a superior, durable finish that is built to last. Whether you need a 3.5-tonne urban delivery van or a heavy-duty 26-tonne rigid truck, our builds focus on security, payload, and driver efficiency.

Industry-Leading Type Approval We hold Full Type Approval for most major vehicle manufacturers.

Whether you are building on a DAF, Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, or Iveco, our processes are pre-approved and fully compliant. This ensures a seamless build process and faster turnaround for your fleet.

Specialists in 3.5t Full Closure Tail Lifts.

One of our most sought-after features is the Full Closure Tail Lift for 3.5-tonne vehicles. We understand that finding expert installers for these systems can be difficult. Our full-closure systems provide:

  • Enhanced Security: A seamless rear seal that protects cargo.
  • Weather Protection: Keeps the elements out during multi-drop rounds.
  • Aerodynamic Benefit: Reduces drag compared to standard external lifts, helping with fuel economy.

Specialist Tail Lift & Loading Solutions.

For our larger rigid builds up to 26 tonnes, we offer a comprehensive array of loading solutions from the industry’s leading manufacturers, including Dhollandia, Anteo, and Del. We handle the full integration and installation of:

  • Column Lifts: The industry standard for heavy-duty, high-cycle distribution.
  • Tuck-Under Lifts: Perfect for vehicles that require occasional lifting but also need clear access to loading docks.
  • Powered Ramps: Ideal for specialized transport, providing a smooth incline for rolling cargo and machinery.
  • Retractable & Slanted Lifts: Custom configurations for unique chassis requirements.

Our engineering team ensures that the hydraulic and electrical systems of these lifts are perfectly synced with your vehicle’s power supply, providing reliable operation in the most demanding environments.

Custom Side Door Entry Systems.

To maximize efficiency for multi-drop operations and specialized haulage, we offer a variety of Side Door Entry Systems. These can be incorporated into any build, from small vans to 26t rigors, allowing for:

  • Safe Roadside Loading: Accessing cargo from the pavement side.
  • Multi-Compartment Access: Ideal for organized loading and unloading.
  • High-Quality Hardware: Heavy-duty hinges and secure locking mechanisms designed for constant use.

Engineered for Strength & Payload.

We utilize GRP panels for our box bodies because they offer an incredibly tough, impact-resistant surface that is perfect for professional liveries and sign-writing.

  • Chassis Flexibility: Built on all major manufacturer chassis from 3.5t to 26t.
  • Internal Configurations: From load-locking tracks and bespoke lashing points to heavy-duty anti-slip flooring.
  • VCA Approved: Every build meets the highest UK regulatory standards for safety and compliance.
