Nothing goes to waste. The new composite body by Morgan Olson can be completely recycled. Designed for a major fleet to produce zero waste for landfills, the body consists of recyclable aluminum extrusions and panels made from polypropylene. The honeycombed composite body panels require no adhesives, thanks to the heat-bonding production process. The roof design—based around a single 30 mm-thick panel—is strong enough to support 3200 pounds without the use of roof bows. Sidewall strength can be adjusted to meet the needs of a particular application. That’s because a special track system accepts additional side posts and allows the existing posts to slide along the length of the track to be repositioned as needed. The 17-ft body shown here is mounted on a Sprinter chassis. It comes equipped with extruded aluminum plank floor, two 29-inch aluminum rear doors and door frame. Options include roll-up rear door or 19-inch swing doors, LED lighting, back-up camera with LCD monitor, and LED cargo dome lights that turn off and on with a motion sensor
