Specialty vehicle products have been at the core of Piedmont’s product offering for years. Recently, with the increased focus on wood-free construction in the industry, various lightweight plastic alternatives have proliferated the market - all manufactured to endure and thrive in the unique specialty vehicle environment. Piedmont Plastics’ commitment to the specialty vehicle market is evident in our extensive line of solution-based products.

As a premier plastics distributor, our market and product knowledge allow our customers to benefit from the latest quality, design, and construction techniques. We recognize that manufacturers face unique challenges achieving weight reduction while maintaining durability, form function, and aesthetic appeal. To counter these challenges, we offer numerous design solutions for specialty vehicles.

Our Material Selection

We’ve developed a unique portfolio of products specifically designed for the specialty vehicle market. Piedmont Plastics partners with specialty vehicle manufacturers, associations, engineers and designers to develop products that enhance quality and cost-effectiveness for the specialty vehicle industry. Our raw materials excel in applications including modesty panels, upholstery, enclosures, and cabinetry. Whether you are a manufacturer of emergency vehicles, food trucks, mobile medical units, or a manufacturer of enclosed cargo trailers or modular buildings, Piedmont Plastics has a solution for your specialty vehicle.

Applications Solutions

Emergency Vehicles

Emergency vehicles are constantly being upgraded to become faster, more durable, fuel efficient and affordable. When performance plastics are incorporated into the design, they can help reduce weight, noise, and vibration in emergency vehicles. There are many plastic suppliers that manufacture products for ambulances and firetrucks. We also provide materials to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which ensures you get the most effective product and correct look when purchasing from Piedmont Plastics.

Trailers

Trailer manufacturers need materials that are lightweight, durable, and aesthetically appealing. Our formulated plastic sheeting is more durable than corrugated fiberboard, but lighter in weight than wood and solid PVC sheet. PolyCor HL is lightweight, tough, and abuse resistant due to its fluted ribs that support both surfaces. It's also chemical and water resistant, making it an ideal solution for headliners in trailers. With an experienced business development team that knows our customers and their products, Piedmont Plastics strives to bring you the best and most innovative products in the marketplace for trailer manufacturing.

Truck Conversion (Food Truck)

Piedmont's long history of providing innovative and custom engineered solutions has made us a recognized leader in the distribution of plastic sheets and finished parts to the truck conversion market. Piedmont Plastics can supply virtually any performance plastic product for a variety of applications for truck conversions, whether it be headliners, vehicle graphics, cutting boards, exterior and interior walls, modesty panels, or serving windows!

Recreational Vehicles (RV)

As RV coachbuilding has continually evolved over time, so have the needs of those requiring custom transportation. Piedmont Plastics works in collaboration with coach companies to provide plastic panels to meet the highest standards. From custom cabinets and panels for RVs and tour buses, to door waist rails and other fittings for cars and limousines, Piedmont Plastics supplies performance plastics for virtually any application. To assist with the development of your product offering, Piedmont Plastics brings years of experience in providing material recommendations and solutions to the RV industry.
