Outside the Cab
At 60 mph, nearly half a typical truck's engine power goes on pushing air out of the way. Set a Hatcher spoiler to the height of your body and that flat wall becomes a clean line, so the saving starts on the first run.
Up to 7% less fuel from the right air kit on trunking work between distribution centres, by Hatcher's own figures.
Roof Spoilers and Air Kits
Every body height is different, so every spoiler is matched to the work. Side collars, streamers and skirts close the gaps at the corners.
Fridge Spoilers
Shaped to feed air into the refrigeration unit as well as over the body. Operators report fuel savings of at least 5%. It tilts and locks open for servicing, has a galvanised non-slip catwalk and bolts to the cab's existing fixing points, so there is no drilling and the manufacturer's warranty stays intact.

New For 2026
New sidestreamers for the IVECO Eurocargo and the S-Way AD day cab, and a mudguard carrier for the Mercedes-Benz Actros L.
Electric Trucks
On a battery truck, drag costs miles. We developed aerodynamic body parts with Renault Trucks UK for its electric E-Tech range, and our conversions are already going onto electric chassis such as the DAF XB.
Renault Trucks AerodynamicsShaped by wind-tunnel testing at Cranfield University and the Innovate UK-backed ACT aerodynamics project, then designed in-house with 3D scanning, CAD and 3D-printed prototypes.
The Spoiler Check
We counted 209 rigids and artics on the A14. 123 had a roof spoiler set to the wrong height or damaged, and five had no spoiler at all. That drag never shows up as its own line on a fuel report, but you pay for it on every mile.

Extra Fuel Usedabout 1.1%
Per Vehicle, a Year£471
Across Your Fleet£4,714
Estimate based on Hatcher's rule of thumb that every 36 cm of body exposed above the cab adds about 1% to fuel use. Real results depend on speed, wind and load, and can be higher: one courier fleet saved 3% by closing a single 400 mm gap.
Get the Right Spoiler QuotedInside the Cab
Our conversions extend the original cab instead of replacing it, and they are trimmed and finished to match the factory interior. Fleets use them to keep drivers out on the road without hotel bills. Owner-drivers use them because a proper bunk makes a long week shorter.
Van to HGV Conversions for vans like the Sprinter and Daily, right up to 7.5 tonne and heavier rigids such as the DAF LF, Renault D and Volvo FL.
A full-size bunk with a deep mattress and a storage vault underneath, built onto the back of your day cab, with curtains and two cab lights.
Fits DAF LF and XB, IVECO Daily, MAN TGE, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Renault D, Volvo FL
Two single bunks, standing room, a sunroof and lockable storage. Built for two-crew work and long runs, continental included.
Fits DAF LF and XB, Renault D, Volvo FL

On the Road
“The air kit will still pay handsomely with the mileages we are doing.”
Jerome Wallhead, RDS Transport Mercedes-Benz L3 Sprinters with a DeepSleeper and a fridge air kit. They still carry three pallets and 750 kg, and he puts the fuel saving at around 5%.
3%
better fuel economy for a courier fleet, from correcting one spoiler that left 400 mm of body exposed. On a 16 tonne truck covering 50,000 miles a year, the payback is under 10 months.
“We can now deliver orders made on day one for days two and three.”
Amir, Unisurge on the larger sleeper cabs Hatcher built for its 12 tonne Volvo trucks
“Hatcher have a reputation for design and engineering.”
“It substantially increases the storage capacity of the cab.”
Made in Framlingham
Every Hatcher part starts on Broadwater Road. We scan the cab, design the part, make the tooling and mould it on our own line, then trim, wire, upholster and fit it with our own team. One factory, one standard, one number to call.
3D scanning, CAD and 3D-printed prototypes, so a new part fits the cab first time.
Patterns and moulds made in-house from premium materials, multi-cavity where the volume suits.
Hand lay-up, spray lay-up and light RTM. On our line, robots turn the moulds and the resin is dosed exactly.
Trimmers, finishers, upholsterers, fabricators and auto electricians make every part ready to go on.
Need FRP parts made to your design? Our tooling shop and production line take on contract work too, using your existing tools or new ones we build for you.

It depends on the vehicle, the body height, speed and route. As a guide, our own figures are up to 7% for trucks trunking between distribution centres, and operators report at least 5% on refrigerated vehicles with a Hatcher fridge spoiler. One courier fleet saved 3% just by correcting a spoiler that left 400 mm of body exposed.
Our fridge spoilers mount on the cab's existing fixing points, so there is no drilling and the vehicle manufacturer's warranty is preserved. The spoiler is hinged and locks open, so engineers get safe access to the refrigeration unit, and a galvanised non-slip catwalk protects the cab roof.
Both. Most parts can be sent as a kit for your own workshop to fit, or fitted by our team at our site in Framlingham, Suffolk. Pony ISM sleeper pods and ShutEye beds can usually be fitted in a day.
We publish it for every conversion: a Deep Sleeper adds about 140 kg, a SuperClass Sky Cab 240 kg and a Crew Cab 500 kg. RDS Transport's L3 Sprinters still carry three pallets and 750 kg with a DeepSleeper fitted.
Yes. On an electric truck drag costs range, so aerodynamics matter even more. We developed aerodynamic body components with Renault Trucks UK for its E-Tech electric range, and we convert electric chassis too, such as the DAF XB with our Crew Cab.
Our latest Scania spoilers are designed to come off without leaving marks or fittings that could affect the vehicle's resale value. For other makes, ask us when you order.
Yes. We design and make tooling in-house or work from your existing tools, and mould using hand lay-up, spray lay-up and light RTM. Our semi-automated line suits larger volumes, and every part is made under our ISO 9001 certified quality system.
