Astro Body Is Functional
- More cubic feet of storage than the old Astro or
Safari cargo van.
- About 1,500 of payload capacity.
- Side and rear door locks that are keyed to the
chassis, so only one key is needed to open all the
vehicle’s doors.
- A side door was designed so a user can load a 24
inch wide box through the opening and includes an
integrated step well.
- Convenient paddle handles inside both the side and
rear doors so a user can work inside the body with the
doors closed if they choose.
- A skylight that allows for ambient light inside the
body while the rear dome light allows the user to flip
it on when working inside with the doors closed.
- Wall brackets which allow for Adrian or Master Rack
packages to be installed.
Astro Body Has a Distinct
OEM Look:
- Three key components of the Colorado / Canyon are
used in the body: the two rear tail lights, rear CHMSL,
and the door handles. The door handles are keyed to the
chassis door.
- The rear bumper is modified from the GM 800 series
chassis.
- The rear CHSML’s bed light will illuminate when the
rear door is opened, giving the user light when working
out of the rear of the vehicle.
- The door hinges are commercial grade hinges that
have been successfully used in Supreme’s lawn care
fiberglass bodies for years.
- Styling cues were taken from the Colorado chassis in
terms of the integration of the body front to the back
of the cab, the wheel wells with integrated flares, and
style lines on the side.
Astro Body Takes The
Driver Into Account:
- Specially designed Velvac mirrors have been added to
each unit that increases the field of vision around the
vehicle.
- The optional rear vision system allows a user to see
behind the vehicle when backing up.
- This body has passed a frontal crash test at 30
miles an hour for driver and occupant safety.
- Sit in the Colorado cab and you will notice that
there is more leg room and more comfort than the old
Astro cargo van.
- Separation between the body and cab which helps the
driver by eliminating cargo noise and odors while
heating and cooling faster, when compared to the old
Astro cargo van.
Astro Body Is The Result
Of Intense Product Engineering:
- Take a look at the curves of the Astro Body and you
can see the design work that has gone into the body –
from the tapered front corners and roof line to the
curve in the side walls. Using our work in the wind
tunnel, Supreme has developed the most aerodynamic body
we have ever built.
- Key OEM components have been integrated into the
product such as the rear tail lights. The design for
how the tail lights are integrated has passed
independent photo-metric testing.
- Like automotive doors, the Astro Body is designed
with “wet” doors with a stainless steel plate inside
that allows for water to flow between the door panels
and out the bottom. This is necessary if you are
working outside in the drizzle.
- The steel, e-coated floor frame was designed to
withstand the crash test and hold up during our
durability testing.
- E-coating for the steel floor frame is done by the
same company that does the e-coating for the Hummer.
- Drivers have the option on the rear vision system to
have it operate only in reverse or to leave it on while
driving.
- When the side or rear door is opened, the interior
light will turn on automatically.
