From Chassis to Conversion: Why Businesses Choose CPD

When you start with the right chassis, you can build almost anything – and that’s exactly what CPD delivers.
In this behind-the-scenes video, CPD Sales Manager Mark walks you through how we transform our in-stock chassis into trade-ready vehicles, from dropsides to full traffic management builds.
Spec That Starts You Off Strong
Our stock chassis come with practical, fleet-friendly features as standard:
- 165PS power
- 10" media screen
- Android Auto / Apple CarPlay
- Air conditioning
- Dual rear wheels
- Reversing camera
These features aren’t extras - they’re part of the spec we carry as standard to make sure your vehicle is conversion-ready and operational from day one.
Built to Suit Your Sector
Whether you’re in construction, utilities, waste, or highways, we tailor the build to your needs:
- Dropsides for large payloads
- Caged bodies for waste and local authorities
- Tool pods for PPE and equipment
- Tipper setups with fall arrest and lights
- Traffic management conversions with tail-lifts, chevrons, strobes and more
Fast Turnaround from Chassis to Completed Build
We don’t wait around for base vehicles - we hold chassis in stock, with all core components ready to go. Our skilled in-house workshop team works fast, with lead times typically between 2–4 weeks.
Payload Matters
Even with a full build, we prioritise payload. The difference between L2 and L3 chassis? Just 21kg. That means you get flexibility and functionality without compromising capacity.
“The reason so many businesses use CPD is our reputation to build once, build right.”
