Here is a neat service body we just finished. Its a Reading, low profile, Classic II service body. The customer wanted to be able to pull his goose neck trailer and the low side packs accommodate this need. We installed a hose reel inside the rear compartment with an outlet in the rear. The bed has a B&W goose neck(flip over) ball hitch in the bed for the customer's trailer along with a 7-way socket. The bed also has a spray liner for added durability. The recessed bumper is also spraylined and we incorporated an additional 7-way trailer socket and the backup camera. We installed a 20,000 lbs 2.5in receiver hitch on this unit as the customer pulls some larger loads. When it comes to being effective out in the field it's the little things that save time and energy that often give the user a cutting edge. This body has key fob locking and LED interior lighting which are both time savers and just give the operator a head start. This customer also needs to take a ladder periodically so we paired him with some removable side ladder racks that slide in and out of pockets on the front and back of the body. Towing over-sized loads slowly can have risks. To help mitigate some of this risk, we installed a 4-corner LED flasher setup for this customer. Triggering the switch in the cab is all that is needed to let traffic know you are in the area. These lights are very effective and bright. We installed a drawer unit on the drivers side compartment for tools. What a great way to get organized! Thanks again for looking and feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or ideas you would like to execute on your truck!

Here's a flatbed that just left today. The bed has stake sides which are removable and extra storage in the form of a chest box and side boxes. We added a couple of pull out side steps to allow for ease of entry onto the bed. These just pull out and swing down. They add a cost effective safe entry! Some of the Weather Guard storage boxes on the bed. We welded up a rear apron style tow plate and bumper with a 7-way trailer socket and safety tow hooks. We also installed 3M Conspicuity Tape on the sides to provide visibility and safety to the driver and the rig. Thank as always for checking out the post!
Here is a package we finished putting together for the City of Washington. This unit has a Reading Classic II dual wheel service body, a 17,000 lbs hitch with a recessed bumper, vise mount, and a Rev pack installed in front of the body. Rev packs are a great way to increase your storage area for longer tools. This one is a steel powder coated box with stainless steel doors. Here are some views of a vise mount we fabricated up. We also reinforced this bumper to the frame to handle the "torque" that might get applied to this vise! Here is a view of how this customer gets organized for success out in the field. We also installed an inverter in one of the front compartments so the customer can run tools or charge battery power tools while on the go. Thanks for checking out the post! Feel free to post questions or give us a call!
