Truck Liners
Overview
Truck liners are custom-manufactured plastic panels designed to protect load beds, internal cargo areas, side walls, and flooring surfaces in commercial trucks and transport vehicles. These liners act as a sacrificial wear layer, preventing structural damage to the underlying metal bodywork.
Unlike drop-in retail bed liners, this application focuses on fabricated plastic components produced to drawing. Panels are CNC machined and supplied to suit specific vehicle makes, body configurations, and commercial transport requirements.
Where It’s Used
Rigid body trucks
Tipper trucks
Utility vehicles (utes)
Tray-back trucks
Service bodies
Fleet logistics vehicles
Mining and site transport trucks
Truck liners may be installed in full-bed configurations or as modular protective sections depending on duty classification.
Why Plastic Is Used
Plastic liners are widely specified because they:
Reduce abrasion against painted or galvanised steel
Absorb impact from shifting loads
Resist moisture and chemical exposure
Reduce noise from load movement
Offer lighter weight than steel wear plates
Can be replaced without structural modification
Material selection is performance-driven, based on load type and operational environment.
Recommended Materials for Wear Strips
Custom Manufactured to Your Drawings
Truck liners are produced to suit vehicle-specific geometry and load requirements.
We manufacture from:
Supplied CAD files (DXF, DWG, STEP)
Detailed fabrication drawings
Vehicle measurements
Existing liner samples
Production capability includes:
One-off liners for specialist builds
Batch production for fleet rollouts
Repeat manufacturing to controlled drawings
All liners are CNC machined in-house to ensure dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and consistency across installations. We do not resell moulded retail liners; components are fabricated to specification.

Manufacturing & Fabrication
Truck liners are typically manufactured using:
CNC routing for profile cutting
Precision drilling and slotting
Countersinking where required
Machined recesses for tie-down clearance
Modular panel fabrication for large bodies
For tipper or curved bodies, heat forming may be used where geometry requires it. Material bend limits must be considered to prevent stress whitening or distortion.
Design & Installation Considerations
Confirm load type (bulk material vs palletised goods)
Allow for thermal movement in large panels
Avoid sharp internal corners
Consider replaceable wear strips in high-contact zones
Specify fixing spacing based on load distribution
Account for water drainage and debris clearance
For high-impact areas, reinforced sections or thicker wear zones may be required.
Alternative Options:
All components used in this application are manufactured in-house using controlled, drawing-led production processes. We do not supply generic or off-the-shelf products. Each part is produced to specification to meet defined mechanical, environmental, and installation requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Thickness depends on load type. Light commercial use may use 6–10mm, while heavy-duty or mining environments may require 12–20mm or greater.
UHMWPE offers superior abrasion resistance and lower friction, making it suitable for sliding bulk loads.
Yes. Modular panel systems are commonly used for large bodies or confined installation areas.
Truck liners are generally protective wear layers and not primary structural components.
Yes, subject to measurement or sample availability.
Yes. Plastic liners can reduce vibration and noise compared to bare steel surfaces.
