A tilt body on the medium-duty JAC N56 — a truck for mixed cargo. A 4,200 mm platform with galvanised drop sides, a bolt-together frame and a tilt on top. The load is shut off from rain, dust and prying eyes, yet it can still be loaded from the side, from above by crane and from the rear — a van cannot do that. A 150 hp diesel and a 3,445 kg payload.

A tilt body (eurotent) on a JAC N56 is taken when a van is more than you need but an open platform leaves the load exposed. Building materials, packaged furniture, equipment, pallets of consolidated freight — everything that fears rain but needs neither cold nor an airtight box. Take the tilt off and it is an ordinary flatbed for crane loading.
The JAC N56 chassis: an HFC4DE1-1D diesel with Common Rail and SCR, 150 hp and 355 N·m, a six-speed manual, 5,600 kg gross weight and a 3,445 kg payload. Category C. The 4,200 mm deck fits the 4,295 mm frame mounting length with no overhang.
Frame bolt-together: the upright posts, longitudinal beams and crossbars bolt together. Bend a post while loading and one part gets replaced, not the whole structure. The tilt is PVC with eyelets and tensioning round the perimeter: the sheet pulls taut, does not flap on the highway and does not chafe against the ribs.
Loading works from three sides. From the side by dropping the board and lifting the curtain, from above by removing the sheet and using a crane or a loader crane, from the rear at a dock. On a route where one stop loads by crane and the next from a dock, that settles it.
The sides are galvanised drop sides on reinforced hinges with latches. The deck is flat along its whole length, so a pallet rides without skew. An aluminium side guard runs along the frame below, to the safety requirements. Side height and deck length are chosen for the load, and the axle-load calculation is done before work starts.
Our other projects in the “curtainsider” category. All body types are in the “Vehicles” section.
The body is built on a JAC N56 chassis with a 3,360 mm, mounting length 4,295 mm wheelbase. The engine is HFC4DE1-1D diesel, Common Rail + SCR, Euro 5, 150 hp (110 kW). Gross weight 5,600 kg, so the driver needs a category C licence.
This body is not a catalogue item but a project we actually built. We will make the same one to your dimensions: length, width and height are calculated for your cargo and the chassis payload, rather than fitting the cargo to a ready-made size.
We also fit it to your own chassis: bring the vehicle, we take the frame dimensions, build the body, mount it and hand it over with the conversion paperwork.
If you are still choosing a chassis, we have the same body on other bases as well: DongFeng C120L, HINO 300 615, Hino 500. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
Leave your contact details — we will confirm availability/lead time and quote a price.
