Custom CPD Body on a Ford Transit Chassis

Custom CPD Body on a Ford Transit Chassis

At CPD, our skilled team builds specialist vehicle bodies on site. For our latest project we converted a Ford Transit chassis into a waste removal vehicle for a local authority customer.

We started with a trusted Ford Transit chassis, sourced from our own stock,  and fitted it with a bespoke cage tipper body featuring an integrated bin lift. This innovative design not only makes vehicle loading and emptying more efficient but also assists in safe operation.

What We Did

We sourced a brand-new Ford Transit chassis with a single cab, rear-wheel drive, and twin rear wheels. Using this reliable base, our expert CPD team completed every stage of the custom build on site, tailoring the conversion to meet the specific requirements of a local authority customer.

Key Features of Our Custom Build

  • Bespoke Cage Tipper with Integrated Bin Lift: We added a cage tipper body and an integrated bin lift, making it safe, simpler and quicker to handle bulky loads. This clever design is perfectly aligned with the cab’s height, making it an ideal solution if you’re looking to buy a converted Ford van that is both efficient and user-friendly.


  • Enhanced Visibility and Lighting: Front & Rear LED Strobe Lights, LED Beacon mini lightbar and LED Work Lights to ensure that the vehicle and operators can be safely seen.


  • Safety Features:
    • Reverse Alarm with Night Silent Override: Audible warning when reversing with a quiet mode for night-time operations.
    • Reverse Camera with LCD Monitor: Offers a clear view when backing up, significantly enhancing safety.

  • Additional Essentials:
    • Chevron Board on Rear Tailgate: Essential for highway maintenance tasks.
    • High-Visibility Markings: Body tape and red door lozenges to ensure the vehicle is highly visible on the road.
