Haul more with less
Innovative solutions and high-level engineering lead to increased payload capacity.
By only using high quality components and materials, downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.
We provide end-to-end solutions, ensure seamless operations and add substantial value to your business.
Truck bodies designed to lower fuel consumption and reduce carbon footprint.
We provide payload management for all OEM trucks. Our offer includes a range of truck bodies and buckets, each suitable for different operations and business objectives. Whether you need to haul more material, reduce maintenance costs or improve sustainability, we will customize the best solution for you.
- Steel bodies in different lightweight classes
- Rubber wear lining / steel wear lining
- Long life durability / short life durability
- Highly customized design / standard design
- For mining / aggregates
Metso’s unique, lightweight haul truck model with rubber lining is a combination of high-strength steel and wear resistant rubber.
The energy-absorbing characteristics of the rubber allow for the construction of a lighter and optimized truck body. This leads to higher payload, reduced maintenance and consequently, lower operating expenses (OPEX).
The fact that our truck bodies are lightweight and individually designed to maximize payload, means a lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions per hauled ton.
The benefits add up during return rounds when the truck is empty – it simply takes less fuel to move a lighter body.

Metso’s rubber lining lasts up to 300% longer than traditional lining. It protects the chassis of the truck and the body itself from wear, prolongs the life of the truck and drastically reduces the need for maintenance. The modular design of the lining means that only worn parts need to be replaced.
We also offer “lifetime limited” truck bodies where the maintenance need is kept to an absolute minimum. No matter your needs, our wide offer allows us to customize a low-maintenance solution that maximizes your payload capacity.
The Metso Truck Body can be tailored to suit all applications and our flexible lining option can prevent sticky material from building up.
With no carry-back, the entire capacity of the truck can be fully utilized to haul payload, which further improves operational efficiency.
When lining one of our lightweight truck body models (designed to fit both Komatsu and CAT trucks) with rubber elements, the result is hard to match. The rubber absorbs impact and some of the proven benefits are:
- Up to a 50% or greater reduction of noise.
- Averaging a 10–15 decibel noise decrease.
- Up to 97% less vibrations.
Less noise and vibration mean better and safer work conditions, which in return can make a big difference in your productivity.
There is not always room to make major changes to your operation. Metso can help with small steps towards improvement, while waiting for larger changes to be feasible.
With a Metso Truck Body model similar to the OEM, but with customized improvements, replacement is straightforward, with minimal disruption to the workflow.
