The Diamond Standard for Animal Transport
When communities rely on you to safely transport animals, the vehicle you use isn’t just another piece of equipment — it’s the backbone of your mission. From animal control officers working long shifts, to shelters and rescue groups moving animals to safety, the right service body can mean the difference between a smooth operation and a stressful one.
At Diamond Truck Body Manufacturing, we’ve spent decades building custom service bodies designed for some of the toughest jobs. Our Animal Transport Service Bodies are handcrafted in Stockton, California, and built to balance one critical goal: keeping animals safe while making your work easier.
Built to Order, Not Off the Shelf
No two animal control departments, shelters, or rescue organizations are exactly alike. That’s why Diamond builds every animal transport body to order, giving you the ability to select the right configuration, climate control, and safety features to match your work.
Instead of being locked into a “standard model,” our customers sit down with our team to create a build that works for them. That could mean choosing between 5, 6, or 8 kennel compartments, adding specialized storage for veterinary supplies, or upgrading with advanced HVAC systems to handle extreme weather.
The result is a service body that feels like it was designed specifically for your team — because it was.
A Safer, More Comfortable Ride for Animals
Transporting animals comes with unique responsibilities. Stress, heat, cold, and unsafe housing can create dangerous situations. That’s why Diamond integrates features like:
-
Louvered kennel doors for natural ventilation
-
Sloped stainless-steel flooring for drainage and hygiene
-
Roof-mounted HVAC and insulation packages to regulate temperatures
-
Raised floor grates that keep animals dry and more comfortable
From cats and small-breed dogs to large working animals, our transport bodies ensure that every passenger arrives safely and humanely.
Designed With Staff in Mind
We know it’s not just about the animals — your team needs a truck that works as hard as they do. That’s why Diamond service bodies include staff-friendly upgrades such as:
-
Front pull-out ramps and drop-down steps for easier loading
-
Polyurea spray liners for fast cleanup between calls
-
LED compartment lighting and scene lights for nighttime operations
-
High-visibility strobes and traffic advisers to stay safe on the roadside
Every detail is engineered for efficiency. From secure tool compartments to climate-prepped electrical systems, we think about the little things so your staff can focus on the big things.
Options That Put You in Control
Because every community has unique needs, Diamond offers a wide range of customization options:
-
Safety & Durability: stainless steel lock pockets, protective coatings, and heavy-duty seals
-
Climate Packages: advanced HVAC, dual 12V exhaust fans, and extreme insulation
-
Visibility & Lighting: strobes, scene lights, and integrated backup cameras
-
Specialized Add-Ons: liftgates, access doors, aluminum trays, and more
When you combine these options with our 3-year limited structural warranty, you’re investing in a solution that’s built to last — and built around your workflow.
Trusted Across California and Beyond
For over four decades, municipal animal control fleets, humane societies, veterinary practices, and rescue organizations have turned to Diamond for transport solutions they can rely on.
Why? Because our builds aren’t just functional — they’re field-proven. They’ve been tested in hot California summers, stormy winters, and the daily wear of demanding animal control calls.
When lives are on board, you can’t afford to cut corners. That’s why professionals trust the Diamond standard.
