Supreme’s FiberPanel HoneyComb dry van body is now available on Mitsubishi Fuso’s 2015 Canter FE130 medium-duty work truck (13,200 lb. GVWR).

     According to Supreme, a 14´ FiberPanel™ (HC) HoneyComb body with composite rear rollup door weighs 288 pounds less than a 14´ box made of standard fiberglass-reinforced plywood (FRP). And that weight savings translates directly to more payload. Yet, while the new FiberPanel HC body is lightweight, its fiberglass-reinforced, gel-coated honeycomb construction gives it both strength and durability.

      The Class 3 Canter FE130’s lightweight, rugged frame and clever design already give it a body/payload capacity of up to 7,975 pounds— a 700-pound body/payload advantage over the 2014 Canter FE125 it replaces, as well as a 1,308-pound advantage over its primary competitor. When the new lightweight Supreme body is installed on the FE130, the total body/payload advantage jumps to nearly 1,000 pounds, compared to the previous model and 1,600 pounds compared to its primary competitor with a standard body.

    The FiberPanel™ (HC) HoneyComb body is available in 12´, 14´ and 16´ lengths, with 96˝ width and interior heights of 85˝, 91˝ or 97˝.
