Leader Truck Bodies is a supplier of cattle crates, tray bodies, tippers and other truck bodies for commercial vehicles. The Leader brand is exclusively distributed through Westco Truck Sales. The Leader Body is manufactured in Toowoomba at our Factory in Buckland Street. 

The Beginnings        

Leader Truck Bodies were established in 2005 and have come about with many years of experience from both Great Western Manufacturing (GWM) and Westco Truck Sales. The concept first came about with the need to have a consistent quality built product that was produced in a timely fashion to reduce delivery times and get our clients up and running faster. GWM has engineered the truck body using their state of the art 3D drawing system, which allows production of the crate to begin without actually having the truck then matching the two when they are necessary. This allows GWM to be ready to meet your needs as the client without having wait months for a body to be built. GWM & Westco Truck Sales can also provide tipper bodies using the same state of the art systems used for the cattle crates. Please see below for standard specs on both the crates and tipper bodies.
Many people may not realize that GWM has in fact been involved in the truck industry for many years. GWM has an impressive list of achievements.
