Originally founded as a single unit at Darcy Lever in Bolton, PPS Commercials has grown tremendously over the decades, and has built up a reputation for manufacturing well-engineered, durable and reliable products. In the very early days, our directors Gary Amos and Steven Whitworth worked as bodybuilders until 1987, when they decided to take on the challenge of opening their very own body shop after spotting a huge gap in the industry.
With over 30 years of experience in commercial vehicle bodybuilding, the original PPS Commercials team was made up of around 10 people and we were building standard bodies for a handful of new customers. In 1992 they moved to a larger site on Cemetery Road in Radcliffe where their numbers grew to more than 50.

Expertly manufactured in the UK, PPS Commercials is a true pioneer in the world of commercial body building. Bespoke is our norm, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards possible. Not content with sitting back, we like to push boundaries and lead with innovation in everything we do. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a professional yet personal touch to each customer and in every service that we offer.
Our commercial vehicle bodies are designed and manufactured to the highest standards possible. Not just industry standards but our own internal standards, too. And we believe that our customers deserve to be looked after for the lifetime of their vehicle, not just how long it takes us to make it. That's why we offer a number of vehicle aftersales and aftercare services to keep you on the road.
From standard bodies, such as Curtainsiders, Lutons and Dropsides, to the most unique projects, all of our bespoke commercial vehicle bodies are built with pride and expertise that can't be matched anywhere else. Our team of expert craftspeople are what makes us stand out in the commercial body builder industry, with a standard that is unrivalled.
If your work would benefit immensely from loading goods through the side of your vehicle, then the most popular and efficient option for you would be a Curtainsider. They are the perfect quick and easy way to load bulk amounts of goods and gain access in an instant.
Curtainsider trucks allow for easy transporting, loading and unloading of palletised goods through the side of the body, typically using a forklift in a yard rather than through the rear doors in a loading bay, or using a tail lift.

Over the many years we have been working with commercial vehicle bodies, beavertail trucks have become a specialty of ours, and one where we are proud to lead with innovation and expertise. Here at PPS Commercials, we manufacturer, on average, around 80 beavertail trucks and bodies per year, their size ranging massively from 3,500kg all the way up to 32,000kg, and each one is built to withstand the industry's toughest demands.
