Flexible M.KO OPENSIDER truck body for the Nordic market
The fully side-opening doors offer significantly improved access and make loading and unloading easier, especially in narrow or heavily frequented manoeuvring and loading areas. This shortens turnaround times and reduces dependence on specialised loading infrastructure. For transport operations where access via the rear is difficult, the M.KO OPENSIDER offers a clear logistical advantage with its side access.
The M.KO OPENSIDER combines operational flexibility with a superstructure that is designed for durability and long-term value retention. The body is equipped with one of the strongest floors on the market, designed for intensive daily use and offering a long service life with minimal maintenance. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel rear frame and lamp brackets ensure that the lighting components remain securely attached and fully functional over time, contributing to overall operational safety and reduced downtime.
Economic benefits over the entire vehicle life cycle
As well as being highly suitable for everyday use, the M.KO OPENSIDER offers economic benefits over the entire vehicle life cycle. Side-opening bodies generally achieve high residual values and are easy to sell on the used vehicle market. For fleet operators, the M.KO OPENSIDER is not only a robust and flexible transport solution, but also a secure long-term investment.
With its robust floor, corrosion-resistant stainless steel components and side open design optimised for daily operation, the M.KO OPENSIDER contributes to low downtimes, predictable maintenance and high residual values. This makes it a reliable choice for transport companies that value efficiency and economy.
