One of the standout advantages of the SpaceKap is its ability to perform in harsh environments. Whether it’s snow, salt, rain, heat, or humidity, the fiberglass body is engineered to resist corrosion, leaks, and deterioration, even after years of use.
Key Takeaways
- Marine-grade fiberglass, sealed as a one-piece unit, means no rust and no leaking joints.
- A UV-stabilized gel coat protects against sun damage and premature aging, even in states like Florida.
- Fiberglass boats routinely last 50 to 60 years without structural failure, and SpaceKap is built on the same principle.
Why doesn’t a SpaceKap rust or leak like a metal service body?
Unlike aluminum or metal service bodies, which are vulnerable to rust and corrosion, the SpaceKap is made from marine-grade fiberglass. It’s fully sealed and designed as a one-piece unit, so there are no joints to leak or panels to warp over time.
Snow, slush, road salt, and even pressure washing won’t damage it. Tools stay dry and protected year-round, and when the truck itself starts to rust, the SpaceKap simply transfers to a new chassis. See how a transferable fiberglass service body moves from one truck to the next.
“Your truck will rust. When it does, just move the SpaceKap to the next one. Problem solved.”
How does SpaceKap hold up under intense sun and heat?
In southern states like Florida, intense UV exposure can cause paint to fade and clear coats to fail on traditional vehicles. SpaceKap units are made with a UV-stabilized gel coat, which protects them from sun damage and premature aging. Whether it’s extreme cold or extreme heat, the unit stays structurally sound and visually clean.
Why compare a SpaceKap to a fiberglass boat?
One way to think about it: SpaceKap is built like a boat. Fiberglass boats routinely last 50 to 60 years without structural failure, and SpaceKap applies the same principle. Even after years on the road, the shell holds up. Owners typically upgrade for new features, not because the body failed.
“It’s not going to rust. It’s not going to leak. It’s going to outlast your truck.”
From the icy roads of the Northeast to the hot, humid conditions of the South, SpaceKap is built to take it all and keep crews working, no matter what the weather throws at them. Spacekap units in service with our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a SpaceKap unit rust?
No. SpaceKap is built from marine-grade fiberglass, sealed as a one-piece unit, so it doesn’t rust the way aluminum or metal service bodies can.
How does SpaceKap protect against UV damage in hot climates?
Units are finished with a UV-stabilized gel coat that resists fading and premature aging, even under the intense sun found in states like Florida.
What happens to the SpaceKap unit when my truck rusts out?
Because the unit is transferable, it can be moved to a new truck chassis when the old one wears out, so the body itself doesn’t need to be replaced.
