Work trucks are essential to your business. Whether you operate a construction company, a plumbing company, provide services as an electrician or even pest control, having the right work truck is imperative. While there are certainly trucks available with a number of bed configurations, the single best option is to understand your truck service body choices. How can these be of benefit to you?
First, these replace your OEM bed and provide some significant advantages. With a traditional truck bed, your only option for carrying tools and equipment is to install a storage/tool box in the bed. However, this is not always the best choice, and it usually does not provide the maximum usable space for your needs. Truck service bodies, on the other hand, can provide you with enormous possibilities in configuration, carrying capacity and protection, as well.
Service bodies are available in a wide range of different types, from lift off types to fixed bodies and even custom manufactured toolboxes. Once the original bed has been removed from the truck, the new body is installed on the chassis frame. Lift off bodies attach securely to a bed tray, but feature four independent support jacks that allow the body to stand on its own (and allow you to use your truck for other purposes on the weekend, for recreation or to carry other equipment and gear). Lift off bodies can be excellent choices for any type of professional, from the construction industry to plumbers and everyone in between.
Fixed truck service bodies are a bit more traditional. These are permanently affixed to the truck’s chassis, and offer tremendous stability and protection for gear and equipment carried within them. Fixed bodies can typically be somewhat larger, as they rely on the chassis for support, and can be custom designed to fit any particular needs. Another option in the world of service bodies is that of a new light truck body. These are the largest options available in most cases, and can transform the back of your truck. You will find them in half tray and half canopy designs, full canopy designs and other options that can suit your needs.
Truck service bodies offer convenience, protection, simplicity and quality, allowing professionals of all stripes to secure their equipment when needed, carry all required items directly to a job site, and attain a configuration that works best for each vehicle operator.
