2024 Wabash National DuraPlate HD

High Density Loads Are No Contest

Duraplate Performance: Now 300 Lbs. Lighter.

Wabash's dry van for high density loads features DuraPlate HD Cell Core Technology, our composite panel breakthrough that reduces trailer weight by 300 lbs. per 53’ trailer. This trailer is designed to support your toughest load requirements with exceptional durability and maximum payload capacity.

We've answered the need for a lighter-weight trailer without compromising the rugged performance you’ve come to expect from Wabash's original DuraPlate. Engineered cellular structures in DuraPlate Cell Core panels reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability. Fleet-tested performance in high-cycle and high-use environments confirms: Wabash Dry Vans with DuraPlate HD Cell Core Technology trailer stand up to extreme loading and unloading, all while hauling more per load, saving fuel and increasing revenue per mile.

Features may include:
  • DuraPlate HD Cell core sidewalls provide exceptional durability to minimize impact and abrasion damage
  • Rugged 22" high aluminum baseplate withstands abusive freight loading and unloading, and resists exterior sideswipe damage
  • 20,000 lb. floor rating for heavier payloads, high-cycle loading and unloading, and longer floor life
  • Flush Mount Intermediate Logistics (shown below), available on 16.6” and 25” centers, eliminate snag points, prevent cargo damage, and protect from corrosives entering the logistic cavity
