You will learn about the five stages of manufacturing and that it is mandatory to use wood certified by Ibama. The manufacturing stages: 1) The wood must be of quality and of proven origin. First, it is planed on specific machines to make the piece very straight. 2) The second stage of manufacturing the wooden body is the assembly of the side guards and the floor. 3) The next stage is preparation for painting. The wood receives a base layer of “prime pu” to ensure a good paint job later. 4) The fourth stage is painting. In addition to experienced painters, the paints must be of high quality. Painting is very important to ensure resistance to sun and rain. It is at this stage that the body gains those traditional designs and finishes. 5) The final stage of manufacturing the wooden body is the final assembly on the truck, with the installation of bumpers, side guards and kitchen box. Also watch the video that shows the right body for transporting food: • The PERFECT body for transporting... It's not just wood. The bodies have 30% steel, in the crossbars, or in the hooks, among other parts. Since steel has a strong price increase, this ends up impacting the value of the bodies. That's why they have increased. But they are still a good option. There are currently about 580 factories in Brazil. They produce 25 thousand wooden bodies per year. All wood needs a forestry origin document to track and control to avoid deforestation in native areas.
