Tarpaulin Body with Sleeper Cab for Renault Master 3.5t

We built two identical tarpaulin bodies for Renault Master Chassis Single Cab 3.5t units — L3 wheelbase, 2.0 dCi 170 Euro VI — specified for general cargo work where side loading and long shifts on the road both matter.

The body is a drop-side platform with a tarpaulin superstructure on fixed, non-sliding walls, and a full-length curtain on the left side so the load can be reached along the whole body from that side. A steel-cable system tensions the tarpaulin along the lower rail, and the rear wall closes with tarpaulin rather than doors — which means the body can be loaded from three sides when a forklift is involved.

Key specifications

• Internal dimensions 4,800 × 2,250 × 2,300 mm — 24.84 m³

• External dimensions 4,850 × 2,300 × 2,480 mm

• Base body weight 206.88 kg (±4%)

• 400 mm anodised aluminium drop sides, 25 mm thick

• 15 mm plywood floor with waterproof phenolic film, fixed to aluminium cross members

• Planed 25 × 100 mm pine boards on the front, both sides and the rear

• Flat roof; tarpaulin in white RAL 9010

• Four side marker lamps, mudflaps, and flip-up side underrun protection for access to the vehicle floor

Because these two vehicles run long routes, we added a Spojkar Elka Standard sleeper pod above the cab. It is thermally insulated and velour-lined, with two E-homologated opening windows, an 8 cm mattress across the full sleeping area, independent lighting, two adjustable air vents, storage compartments, a 12 V socket, heating ducts and a hatch through to the driver's cab.

An Autoterm Air 2D diesel air heater with a programmable controller keeps the pod warm overnight at 0.8/2.0 kW and 0.1–0.24 l/h, so the engine stays off. White cab side spoilers reduce drag at motorway speed, and a 60 L toolbox completes the build.

Both bodies were manufactured, mounted on the chassis and delivered ready to register.
