Posted on August 22, 2025 in Blogs, Wilcox

Six Decades of Proven Excellence

At Wilcox Commercial Vehicles, quality is more than a promise — it’s a legacy. For over 60 years, we’ve been at the forefront of aluminium body development and manufacture in the UK. Our Wilcolite and Wilcotuff ranges represent the pinnacle of British engineering, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing innovation.Everybody that leaves our Market Deeping facility reflects this commitment. Our highly trained production teams apply the latest techniques and stringent controls to ensure each Wilcolite and Wilcotuff product meets the standards that have made us the UK’s most trusted name in commercial vehicle solutions.

Reliability You Can Count On

In transport, reliability isn’t optional. Wilcolite and Wilcotuff bodies are designed to withstand the toughest working conditions, from quarries and construction sites to waste and recycling operations.

Our sales team brings over 115 years of combined industry experience, enabling us to configure specifications precisely to each customer’s operational requirements. This expertise, combined with our complete in-house capability — from design and CAD engineering through to final manufacture — ensures consistent quality, durability, and peace of mind.

Innovation That Sets the Standard

Innovation drives our leadership. At Wilcox, our engineering team continuously develops solutions that set new industry benchmarks:

  • Our lightweight aggregate tipping trailer achieves IRTE Category A tipping stability — a benchmark achieved by all our tipping trailers and animal feed blower trailers.
  • Our Walking Floor systems provide unmatched efficiency for bulk and aggregate handling.
  • Alongside our aluminium expertise, we have expanded into high tensile steel bodies and proudly hold the exclusive UK dealership for Cifa mixer trucks.

These innovations are not developed in isolation; they come from a deep understanding of market needs and the challenges our customers face daily.
