When your business depends on making deliveries, hauling equipment, or keeping your valuable tools protected from the weather, the right van body (box truck body) can make your days run more smoothly—and your operation more professionally. Truck Equipment Sales supplies and installs box trucks and van bodies for cutaway vans and chassis cabs, including dry freight, refrigerated bodies, and landscape vans with a dovetail. We can also upfit your finished unit with liftgates and/or shelving for a true turnkey package.
Serving Mobile County and the surrounding Gulf Coast region, we help local contractors, fleets, municipalities, and owner-operators get a body that fits the way they actually work—right down to interior organization and loading needs. Contact us by phone or online to learn more—or visit our show room on Rangeline Road to speak to someone face to face and see what we have to offer:
A van body—often called a box truck body or box van body—is the enclosed cargo “box” mounted to a cutaway or chassis cab. Compared to a standard pickup bed or open platform, a van body gives you:
If you’re hauling anything you don’t want exposed—materials, products, equipment, or temperature-sensitive goods—a van body is usually the cleanest upgrade you can make.
Van bodies are popular because they adapt to a ton of real-world work. Here are some of the most common applications we see around Mobile, Theodore, Saraland, Semmes, and surrounding areas:
Perfect for businesses moving boxed goods, supplies, paper products, packaged materials, and general cargo. A dry freight body keeps your load protected and makes daily routes more efficient.
If your trucks are constantly stopping—neighborhood routes, business-to-business delivery, jobsite drops—features like cab access and cargo-control options can make the day safer and faster. (Morgan offers parcel-van configurations with options like a cab access door and cargo-control features.)
For food distribution, florists, beverage delivery, catering support, and any business moving temperature-sensitive products, a refrigerated body helps maintain consistent temperatures and protects product quality. (Morgan’s refrigerated designs emphasize insulation, door options, and thermal management.)
Landscapers love van bodies built for equipment loading—especially landscape bodies with dovetail. Lyncoach, for example, designs a landscaping body with an enclosed dovetail and heavy-duty ramping rear doors, plus a durable 3/16" steel tread plate floor designed for heavy equipment.
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies, and maintenance teams often want a cargo area that functions like a rolling shop—organized shelving, secure storage, and a layout that prevents wasted time on the job.
A van body should match how you load, what you haul, and how hard you work the truck. When we help customers spec a body, we typically talk through:
Buying the body is step one. Making it truly useful is where the upfit matters.
Truck Equipment Sales can deliver a complete, ready-to-work package by adding options like:
The goal is simple: you drive away with a vehicle that’s not “almost ready,” but actually ready.
Lyncoach is known for building commercial truck bodies with practical, jobsite-friendly options and a focus on durability. Lyncoach notes a long history of designing and building dry freight box vans, with a simple yet durable approach and an aluminum sheet-and-post design as a standard offering—plus the ability to design each body around specific needs.
Examples of Lyncoach options and features highlighted by the manufacturer include:
If you’re building a delivery unit, a landscape rig, or a specialty configuration, Lyncoach offers a lot of flexibility in how the body can be laid out and equipped.

The terms are often used interchangeably. A van body, box truck body, or box van body is an enclosed cargo body mounted on a cutaway van chassis or chassis cab. Unlike an open pickup bed or flatbed, it provides a weather-protected cargo area for tools, products, equipment, and other materials.
Truck Equipment Sales offers dry freight bodies, refrigerated bodies, landscape van bodies with dovetails, and other commercial configurations. We can also help upfit the finished body with options such as shelving, liftgates, cargo-control systems, lighting, and interior protection.
Proper fit depends on the chassis, wheelbase, gross vehicle weight rating, cab-to-axle dimensions, available payload, and intended body length and height. The weight of the body, cargo, liftgate, shelving, refrigeration equipment, and other accessories must also be considered. Our team can help match the body to both your chassis and your daily workload.
A dry freight body is designed to protect general cargo from weather and provide secure enclosed storage. A refrigerated body adds insulation, thermal-management features, and refrigeration equipment for products that need temperature control, such as food, flowers, beverages, or other perishable goods.
A landscape van body combines enclosed equipment storage with a sloped rear dovetail and heavy-duty ramping doors. This makes it easier to load and unload mowers and other wheeled landscaping equipment while still providing an enclosed cargo area for tools and supplies.
Yes. We can help create a turnkey commercial vehicle by adding equipment such as shelving, liftgates, E-track, tie-down points, protective scuff panels, lighting, and other organization or loading features. The right combination depends on what you carry and how your crew uses the vehicle.
Truck Equipment Sales offers commercial van and box truck bodies from manufacturers including Lyncoach and Morgan. Lyncoach provides customizable dry freight and landscape configurations, while Morgan offers dry freight, final-mile delivery, refrigerated, and other specialty commercial bodies. We can help you compare the available options and select a body suited to your operation.
