Sheet-and-Post
Composite

Speak with a Great Dane representative for more information on our Sahara series.
The Sahara is a dry-freight truck body engineered for durability, uptime, and flexible operation. It’s available in two constructions to match different operational needs: the C-Series composite model and the S-Series sheet-and-post model.
Both models feature proven Great Dane engineering, configurable options, and durable construction designed for long-term performance.
C-Series (Composite)
S-Series (Sheet-and-Post)
The Sahara is used across a wide range of applications, including parcel delivery, food service, retail distribution, general freight, and regional delivery routes.
The Sahara is designed to integrate with a wide range of medium- and heavy-duty chassis, including common Class 6, 7, and 8 platforms. Final compatibility depends on body size, wheelbase, and application requirements. Your Great Dane representative can help confirm the right configuration for your specific chassis.
Yes. The Sahara can be configured to match your operation. When choosing a configuration, consider:
The Sahara uses Great Dane’s AnchorPoint mounting system, which eliminates traditional U-bolts and filler strips. This helps reduce constant re-torque requirements, prevent rot and compression issues, and support long-term durability.
Sahara truck bodies are available on buygreatdane.com and through the Great Dane dealer network.
