2026 Wabash National DRY VANS with DuraPlate Cell Core Technology

We've Upped the Game in the Conventional Dry Van Haul

Exceptional Durability. Best-in-Class Weight.

America's favorite dry van features DuraPlate Cell Core Technology, Wabash's composite panel breakthrough that reduces trailer weight by 300 lbs. per 53’ trailer—all without compromising strength or durability. Plus, from the damage- and corrosion-resistant components, to the LED light system, the Wabash Dry Van with DuraPlate Cell Core Technology lasts longer and delivers resale values among the highest in the industry.

DuraPlate Cell Core Technology

We've answered the need for a lighter-weight trailer without compromising the rugged performance you’ve come to expect from Wabash's original DuraPlate. Engineered cellular structures in DuraPlate Cell Core panels reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability. Fleet-tested performance in high-cycle and high-use environments confirms: our standard dry vans with DuraPlate Cell Core Technology stand up to extreme loading and unloading, all while hauling more per load, saving fuel and increasing revenue per mile.
