Hidrive Service Body Canopies are built with a multi-fit chassis to enable transfer to another brand vehicle, improving resale and the lifetime value of your investment. Some have been in use for over 20 years! A Hidrive on a Hilux might be transferred to a Ranger, then a BT-50, then a Navara, Amarok or a Triton! Re-use is greener than recycling!

A touchless automatic car wash is technically the best choice of automatic car wash for vehicles with signage, however, because you have no control over the direction or pressure of the water jets there is a possibility that this could cause damage to the signage. Brush type car washes should not be used, and are likely to cause damage to both the vehicle and the signage.

We treat FleetBrand installation as part of the service body build so we apply it at the same time. And because it’s all done at your nearest Hidrive installation location, this avoids extra transport costs and third-party supplier delays.
The vehicle should not be cleaned within the first 48 hours of the signage being applied. After this 2-day period, it is recommended to wash your vehicle every two weeks, or a minimum once a month.
We often find that the best way to share the quality and difference in a Hidrive Service Body is to visit one of our showrooms to help understand how we can build a fit-for-purpose solution and also to help understand the process of delivery of your service body on time, with certainty.
Aluminium trailers are much lighter, so they are easier to pull, better for fuel economy, have a higher load capacity, reduce braking distances, and can help to meet GCM compliance, all without compromising strength and durability. Additionally, aluminium also does not rust and looks much better if stone chips occur.
There are three options: 1100/1200/1400mm high. Let’s chat to discuss your requirements.
There are three service body heights: 850/900/1000mm. While 850mm is our “streamlined” service body, the 900 and 1000mm allows for greater capacity to fit larger items and bigger loads.
