THE SUSTAINER CARGO BOX SOLUTION

WELCOME TO THE NEW NORM IN SUSTAINABLE TRUCK BODIES

The SUSTAINER™ by Karhof is all that the name says: a highly sustainable and ultra-light truck body. The SUSTAINER™ is constructed using the innovative, tested and patented CLIME™ connection system making it stronger than any other adhesive connection. The panels are easily disassembled for recycling by heating them, leaving no adhesive residue making it also the most sustainable connection ever. Simplicity and unique innovation go hand-in-hand in to make the SUSTAINER™ a game-changer in the world of composite construction.

ENERGY SAVINGS

The SUSTAINER™ has the lowest possible weight of a cargo box in the world, leading to significant annual energy savings.

Our 1,024 ft³ cargo box with back doors and the chassis mounting structure included, the weight is 750 lbs. This is at least 2,000 lbs less than conventional competing cargo box in the North America.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Karhof is the only cargo box manufacturer in the world that uses 100% recyclable materials and also incentivizes their recycling.

Our unique production process allows us to recycle a broken panel to produce a new one. No glue and polluting plastics are used in construction; hence the CO2 footprint is extremely low. And because of our innovative design and manufacturing process, little energy is needed to build the SUSTAINER™.

SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF TCO

Our TCO is the lowest of any box you will ever own.

Lower fuel consumption, lower road use taxes, and more payload add up to a lower TCO. Our quick and easy repairability along with the ability to make repairs on site dramatically reduces cost and downtime.

INCREASED FLEET UPTIME

Fleets should be ON THE MOVE. No one wants downtime.

Because Sustainer panels are in stock, they can immediately be exchanged for damage or to reconfigure the cargo box, repurpose it or to make it more efficient. You can also quickly rebrand your fleet or for temporary advertising campaigns.

MODULAR DESIGN

Karhof’s SUSTAINER™ is designed to be modular along with being quick and easy to assemble and repair.

Mix and Match different side, rear and top panels to configure the most useful and efficient cargo box for your needs. You can choose from; Standard and a solar power generating top panels; side panels with or without swinging or roll-up shutter doors as well as roll up or sliding canvas; rear swinging or roll-up shutter doors. Various models of liftgates are also available.

UNIQUE ‘SNAP-AND-GO’ ASSEMBLY

Karhof’s unique attaching and joining system which utilizes an innovative (and patented) composition of aluminum profiles, ensures a super-fast assembly and disassembly.

All panels (roof, walls, floor) are pre -assembled instead of being built up insitu as conventional boxes are. This saves significant time and labor which not only accelerates box production and delivery but makes panel repair and replacement quick and easy.

LOWEST CARBON FOOTPRINT EVER

OPTIMIZED FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS

The SUSTAINER™ is light weight yet sturdy and more durable than conventional cargo boxes. The weight savings of up to 70% improves the range, acceleration and hill climbing of an EV but don’t let the lightweight materials mislead you. The SUSTAINER™ is, in many cases, tougher than a conventional box.

ON-SITE REPAIRS
The SUSTAINER™ is the only cargo box that can be quickly and easily repaired or even completely rebuilt at a customer’s facility or in the field. A side wall panel can be replaced in as quickly as 15 minutes.

COMPETITIVELY PRICED
The SUSTAINER™ is built using the best materials available but we have taken 90% of the labor out of assembling a cargo box resulting in a cost that is highly competitive. We also deliver in a matter of weeks, not months.

RIGID AND STURDY
The SUSTAINER™’s composite panels are far stronger and more durable than wood and sheet aluminum. The innovative extruded aluminum panel joining system makes the structure ridged without the need for a steel frame.
