Chereau body mouldings from the UK's sole distributor
Chereau trailers use specific moulding profiles and extrusion sections that are not shared with other trailer manufacturers. Body mouldings serve multiple purposes: they seal the joints between body panels, protect the panel edges from impact damage, and in refrigerated applications they contribute to the thermal seal of the body. Damaged or missing mouldings can compromise the thermal performance of a refrigerated body as well as its structural integrity.
Rubber seals, corner protectors, and edge profiles deteriorate over time from UV exposure, temperature cycling, and physical contact during loading and unloading. A missing corner protector increases the risk of body panel damage from fork lift contact. A deteriorated body seal on a refrigerated trailer allows cold air loss and can affect ATP certification compliance.
As the sole UK Chereau distributor, Truckstop Group holds the genuine moulding profiles and extrusion sections specified by Chereau for their trailer range. If you're unsure which moulding profile applies to your trailer, call us on 01527 598 000 with the trailer serial number and we'll identify the correct part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Chereau body mouldings need to be genuine parts?
Chereau trailers use specific moulding profiles designed for the dimensions and panel construction of their body. Generic mouldings may not match the section profile, gap dimensions, or material specification, which affects both the appearance and the sealing performance of the joint. For refrigerated trailers, an incorrect seal profile can allow cold air loss and affect ATP certification.
How do I identify which Chereau moulding profile I need?
The trailer serial number identifies the body specification and the moulding profiles used. Alternatively, the profile cross-section can be measured and cross-referenced against the Chereau parts catalogue. Call us on 01527 598 000 with the serial number and we'll identify the correct part for your trailer.
Do you stock corner protectors for Chereau trailers?
Yes. We stock corner protectors and corner mouldings for Chereau trailer bodies. Corner protectors are one of the most commonly replaced moulding components as they take the most direct impact from loading dock and fork lift contact. Call us with the trailer serial number to confirm the correct corner specification.
How quickly can you supply Chereau moulding profiles?
Parts held in our Redditch stock can be dispatched for next-day delivery or collected same day. For profiles that require ordering from Chereau, we'll give you a lead time when you call. Contact us on 01527 598 000 and our Chereau parts team will advise on current availability.
