Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AWL's truck body fabrication service in Kenya.

What truck body types can AWL fabricate in Kenya?

AWL builds closed cargo boxes, open flatbeds, tippers, tankers, water bowsers, livestock and cattle carriers, horse carriers, refrigerated insulated bodies, and custom cargo superstructures. Every body is designed to client specification and fabricated entirely in-house at our Nakuru workshop.

How long does it take to build a custom truck body at AWL?

Build time depends on body type and complexity. A standard flatbed or cargo box typically takes 2–4 weeks. More complex builds — tankers, refrigerated units, or bespoke livestock carriers — may take longer. Contact AWL for a specific project timeline and quote.

Does AWL fabricate bodies for all truck makes?

Yes. AWL builds and repairs truck bodies for all makes and chassis — FUSO, Ashok Leyland, Isuzu, Hino, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, and others. Bodies are sized and mounted to the specific wheelbase and chassis specification of your vehicle.

Can AWL modify an existing truck body?

Yes. AWL carries out body modifications including extending cargo length, reinforcing floors, adding dropside panels, installing lashing points, fitting canopies, and converting between body types. Contact us with your requirements for a modification quote.

Where is AWL's fabrication workshop in Kenya?

AWL's fabrication workshop is in Nakuru, Kenya — within the same 2-acre facility as the AWL main service centre. The workshop handles everything from structural repairs to full new-body builds for trucks and pickups.
