The Heavy-duty Dry Van

with Best-in-class Weight.

The Wabash DuraPlate Dry Van features DuraPlate Cell Core Technology, our composite panel breakthrough that reduces trailer weight by 300 lbs. per 53′ trailer. This trailer is designed to support the conventional dry van haul with exceptional durability and maximum payload capacity.

They Don't Get Any

Tougher.

  •  DuraPlate Cell Core sidewalls provide exceptional
    durability to minimize impact and abrasion damage.
  • Rugged 22″ high aluminum baseplate withstands
    abusive freight loading and unloading, and resists
    exterior sideswipe damage.
  • 20,000 lb. floor rating for heavier payloads, highcycle loading and unloading, and longer floor life.

DuraPlate Cell Core

Technology.

With our patent pending DuraPlate Cell Core technology, we answered the challenge to deliver a lighter-weight trailer with the same rugged performance you′ve come to expect from DuraPlate. Engineered cellular structures in the panel′s core reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability. Fleet-tested performance in high-cycle and high-use environments confirms: this trailer stands up to extreme loading and unloading, all while hauling more per load, saving fuel and increasing revenue per mile
