Why Lightweight Truck Bodies by LIDERKIT Are a Smarter Choice for Australia
Fuel Economy
Lightweight Bodies:
Fuel-Saving Innovation by Lightweight Bodies
Choosing a lightweight truck body can reduce fuel consumption by up to 28%, especially for diesel fleets. By decreasing the overall weight of your truck body, you not only boost fuel efficiency but also improve vehicle performance and lessen wear on important components like tyres, brakes, and suspension systems.
This lighter design extends the lifespan of these parts and reduces long-term maintenance costs. In many instances, switching to a lightweight body decreases weight by hundreds of kilograms, enabling a higher payload and improved freight efficiency.
With more carrying capacity for goods and less spent on fuel and repairs, Lightweight Bodies offers immediate savings — making your fleet more agile, cost-effective, and prepared for the road ahead.

Key Advantages of Lightweight Truck Bodies
Australia’s skilled labour shortage is a genuine challenge — but our Complete Knock Down (CKD) kits eliminate the need for fully qualified trades.
With bolt-together, pre-painted truck bodies, even handyman-level staff can assemble them efficiently using minimal tools.
Designed in partnership with Liderkit, these kits make truck body assembly quicker, easier, and scalable — providing bodybuilders with a smarter path forward amid challenging hiring conditions.
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates, major companies like IKEA and Amazon are shifting to lightweight truck bodies to maximise range and cut running costs.
These bodies improve fleet sustainability, lower power consumption, and support EV-specific design requirements.
With up to 70% lower running costs in case studies, the shift to lightweight, modular bodies signals a new era of fleet efficiency and carbon-conscious logistics.
Liderkit leads global truck body manufacturing with robotic precision, quality control, and automation.
Their automated CKD (Complete Knock Down) production line guarantees unmatched consistency, a clean finish, and quick output — perfect for mass production without sacrificing craftsmanship.
With distribution in over 60+ countries and partnerships such as Lightweight Bodies, you gain access to world-class design backed by local support.
