Box, Cargo Body and Reefer Repair

Box and cargo body repair addresses the load-carrying structure behind the cab: side and roof skins, floors, doors, and insulated reefer panels. This is the highest-wear area on a delivery fleet because it absorbs damage from docks, forklifts, and cargo every working day.

Overview

What this covers for Irvine fleets

The box takes more damage than any other part of a delivery vehicle. Dock strikes, forklift punctures, cargo shifting into a wall, and roof damage from low clearances are routine rather than exceptional, and each one is a hole in the weather barrier that keeps the load dry.

On refrigerated bodies the stakes go up. A damaged insulated panel is not just a cosmetic problem, it is a thermal leak that pushes the reefer unit to work harder and puts the cold chain at risk on a hot Orange County afternoon.

Most box repair is sectional rather than full replacement, which keeps cost and downtime proportional to the damage instead of to the size of the body.

FAQ

Box, Cargo Body and Reefer Repair questions

Can a punctured box side be repaired without replacing the whole panel?

Almost always. We cut back to sound material and section in new skin at a supported seam. Full side replacement is reserved for damage that runs across most of the panel or where the structure behind it is compromised.

How urgent is a hole in the box?

More urgent than it looks. Water entering through a puncture gets into the floor and the wall structure, and a small penetration turns into floor rot and delaminated panels over a season. It is much cheaper caught early.

Do you repair insulated refrigerated bodies?

Yes. Reefer panel repair has to restore the thermal barrier, not just the skin, which means addressing the foam core rather than skinning over damaged insulation.

How long is a box truck down for floor replacement?

Floor work runs four to forty labor hours depending on whether it is a section or a full deck, and on what has to come out to access it.
