A proven, Durable and long-lasting composite panel

In 1996, Wabash revolutionized semi-trailers by setting a new standard of performance in trailer sidewall technology. Our DuraPlate® Composite Technology continues to deliver on the promise of exceptional durability and damage-resist performance. Today, our original DuraPlate and next-generation DuraPlate Cell Core panels are used in dry freight trailers, truck bodies, portable storage containers other applications within a growing number of diverse industries.

DID YOU KNOW?   Wabash has diverted over 1 billion plastic bottles from landfills by using post-consumer resin in the manufacture of DuraPlate.
