About Kurt Dinkel
Kurt Dinkel Karosserie-Fahrzeugbau GmbH manufactures custom commercial vehicles at its location in Wertheim and at the Brand-Erbisdorf branch. The program includes beverage bodies with MAGNUS top-and-bottom swing doors, curtain side, roll-up curtain, and combination loader bodies, loading side walls, portal doors, mechanical loading aids, and cargo securing systems. Additionally, we produce semi-trailers in crank, double crank, tilted, and telescopic configurations with height- and length-adjustable roofs, as well as trailers with low frames in angular construction. Crane mounts, forklift holders, hydraulic systems, and special constructions according to VDI 2700 complete the range of offerings. Our own facilities perform sandblasting, galvanizing, and painting works, as well as repairs and statutory inspections (HU, AU, SP, and UVV). As the oldest documented German vehicle manufacturing company, founded in 1540, we have transitioned from a blacksmith to a vehicle body and chassis manufacturer.
