PET foam sandwich panels offer a compelling solution for dry freight truck bodies, combining strength, lightweight construction, and insulation properties to meet the demands of modern transportation needs, and PET foam is a recyclable and environmentally friendly material. Dry freight truck bodies made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) foam sandwich panels are gaining popularity.
Description
Fiberglass PET Foam Core Sandwich Panels
Structural Diagram
CFRT laminated PET sandwich panels are sandwich structure panel that combines continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) and polyester (PET) foam core. This sandwich panel combines the high strength and lightweight properties of CFRT with the high compression properties of PET foam.

Modular CKD/SKD Kit for Quick Assembly
Whether supplying kits or delivering complete box bodies, TOPOLO offers flexible solutions. We support multiple delivery models, including CKD (Completely Knocked Down), SKD (Semi-Knocked Down), and CBU (Completely Built-up).
CKD (Completely Knocked Down)
- Export of fully knocked-down components, fully assembled in local factories.
- Minimize tariffs and transportation costs.
- Support local production and employment.
02. SKD (Semi-Knocked Down)
- Semi-knocked-down model, core components assembled on-site.
- Balance tariff savings and assembly efficiency.
- The best choice for customers with basic assembly facilities.
03. CBU (Completely Built Up)
- Export of complete vehicles, ready for immediate use.
- Guaranteed consistent factory quality.
- Fastest delivery, no assembly facilities required.
Composite Materials Reduce Weight and Increase Strength
Compared with the traditional steel truck body structure, the advantages are:
- Large volume, lighter weight, increased loading weight, and reduced transportation cost.
- The appearance is fashionable and the surface is smooth and clean, which is convenient for making car body advertising.
- Hygiene, environmental protection, energy saving, no rust pollution, and increased thermal insulation performance.
- Good structural strength, corrosion resistance, and service life of up to 10-15 years.
