Maranda Corp. has introduced a new line of composite service bodies. The 40-year-old company is expanding upon the success of its Sprinter Service Body with a line of 56-CA, 60-CA and 84-CA Composite Service Bodies available for pickups and cab-chassis trucks from Chevrolet, Ram, Ford, and GMC.

Combined with a standard rear step bumper and tailgate, the Maranda 56-CA Composite Service Body weighs only slightly more than an OEM pickup bed and rear bumper. This fiberglass body has no fillers and is manufactured entirely in North America with North American materials using robotic technology to certify thickness, according to the company.

All Composite Service Bodies by Maranda are designed with a fully-integrated water management system to prevent rain and condensation from entering closed compartments. Moreover, two concealed heavy-duty steel rotary latches are standard in each compartment for enhanced security.

Fully-adjustable shelving, rear bumper and tailgate are standard for all Maranda Composite Service Bodies. Current options available include LED lighting with instant-on switches, keyless entry, custom bumpers, rolling top and transverse box. The bodies can be complemented with aftermarket accessories like ladder racks, liftgates and slideouts.

As with most of the company’s other composite truck bodies, these Composite Service Bodies were designed to be transferred relatively easily from one chassis to another and are backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Maranda is currently taking orders for 56-CA, 60-CA and 84-CA Composite Service Bodies for delivery as early as late September 2013. Composite side packs for aerial trucks are also available.
