5 Ways Swap Bodies Supercharge Just-In-Time Building Supply Delivery

Swap Body Trucks, also known as Demountables, allow a single truck chassis to quickly switch between multiple bodies. Instead of waiting hours for loading or unloading at a job site or warehouse. Drivers can swap an empty body for a loaded one in about ten minutes—eliminating delays and boosting delivery capacity.

How Swap Bodies Improve JIT Delivery

1. Reduced Fleet Investment – Fewer truck chassis are needed since each can serve multiple bodies.
2. Faster Turnarounds – Drop one load, pick up another in about 10 minutes.
3. Less Congestion at Job Sites – Bodies can be dropped and used for on-site storage.
4. Versatile Load Handling – One chassis accommodates multiple body types.
5. On-Demand Delivery Adaptability – Quick swaps make rush deliveries and last-minute changes easier.
