Work Smarter – Not Harder

 

When you’re building a work truck, there numerous specs that need to be factored correctly to avoid costly oversights. Make sure you consider a vehicle’s operating guidelines and payload requirements. A smart fleet manager should talk with the people in the field to understand what type of service the vehicle is expected to perform and how it needs to be used. During that discussion with the technicians, you may discover problems that they have encountered in their everyday use that may have been over looked.

It’s not uncommon to uncover issues with insufficient tool storage or lack of bins, limited visibility, loading height restrictions and poor payload distribution. It is essential to understand how a vehicle will be loaded and unloaded. Do they need lifts, ramps or even slide out trays? The more you understand the vehicle or upfit deficiencies the more efficient your next build will be. Not to mention your technician’s performance and satisfaction will be.

 With a Fleetwest service body we have the innovative solutions to create the ideal work truck so you can work smarter, not harder! The Load’N’Go by Fleetwest not only can help with organization and make you more efficient, but it can also make for a safer work environment. The Load’N’Go can be equipped with a list of option such as:

  • Slides make accessing supplies easy and painless
  • Cabinets/shelving with side access provide organized storage to keep track of inventory
  • Dividers and storage bins in various sizes to help with proper tool storage
  • Ladder/material racks for easy accessibility

Transferability Can Benefit You

 

When the truck needs to go into the shop for maintenance or repairs, the transferable truck body can quickly be moved to another truck in minutes.  Downtime associated with a technician’s tools and equipment needing to be transferred to another truck is all but eliminated.  The technician doesn’t waste valuable time in the field hunting for tools that were tossed into a borrowed truck since he is still working from ‘his own assigned tool box’.   Not only is the company saving valuable work time but, the technician is spared the frustration of working out of a borrowed truck body and enjoys more job satisfaction knowing he will always have ‘his own assigned tool box’.  When the slip-on truck body is assigned to a technician, they are more likely to take pride in their tool box resulting in higher job satisfaction as well.  They will be glad they never have to listen to their tools and equipment rolling around in the back of the van again!  Another bonus is they will only need to heat and cool the cab of the truck.  Higher job satisfaction converts to long term savings for the company through higher personnel retention and lower expenses related to hiring and training new people.

Security of tools and equipment can save thousands of dollars by avoiding costly break-ins and theft from the open bed of a pick-up truck.  Protecting your valuable cargo in a slip-on truck body makes so much financial sense.  Double locking doors and side compartments provide the security you need to prevent the cost and downtime of losing valuable equipment and time associated with replacing them.

Fleetwest’s

Don’t Panic When Your Truck Has to Go in the Shop


When you use your truck to run your business, it is a crisis when it has to go into the shop for several days.  How will you be able to operate?  Yes you could rent a truck but now you won’t have your own tools.  With our Fleetwest Steel Transferable Truck Bodies, simply remove the truck body with a forklift or with the jacks and you can move your truck body to another truck or to a rental. You can do this with no holes drilled to your rental.  You can do your work with your own tools and be productive. The stress of your truck going into the shop is NOT stressful. 

Also when it is time to trade in your truck, the same applies.  You just simply remove your truck body fully loaded and put it in your new truck.  Your tools are still organized.

Owning a Fleetwest steel transferable truck body is the best gift you can give yourself.

Transferable vs Bolt-On

 • No limitation for the uses of a specific vehicle – increasing the flexibility and actual value of the vehicle

• No need to purchase, maintain and insure multiple vehicles – one truck can be used for several operations or as both a work and a “play” truck
• Simplifies purchasing or leasing
• Standardization is becoming more important to fleet managers. Load’N’Go allows you to purchase or lease a standard pickup trucks that will satisfy several user groups
• Purchase or lease work truck and when the vehicle arrives quickly install the Load’N’Go and the crew can go to work no waiting weeks for a body to be installed
• Load’N’Go utility bodies outlast chassis-when the chassis is replaced, or you’re at the end of your lease, there is no need to pay for a new utility body, with Load’N’Go, simply transfer the body to the new truck
• Load’N’Go will outlast most standard utility bodies in harsh environments due to large portion of the body being protected from the elements, road debris and salt by the truck bed.
• You never lose access to your body, tools and equipment
• If your truck requires service or is in an accident, simply transfer the entire body to another truck and continue working and earning
• The vehicle does not require recertification
• Factory fuel lines, bumpers, electrical are left untouched
• Resale value on a pickup truck is typically higher than on a used chassis with a utility body
• Unload the body at a job site and use the body as a job box
• Save fuel and wear and tear on your chassis

Fleetwest’s Three Different Transferable Truck Bodies

 

                                                                     Open Bed


Sportsman



                                               Fixed Top


Fleetwest has slip-on truck bodies that can be transferred to other trucks while loaded. You can even take off your truck body and leave it at a job site with our optional jacks. This will allow your tools to stay locked and safe. Protecting your valuable cargo in a slip-on truck body makes so much financial sense. Our double locking doors and side compartments provide the security you need to prevent theft.

 We have 3 different steel models to choose from: 

·                      Fixed Top

·                      Open Bed

·                      Sportsman

They all fit most standard long-bed and short-bed models. You can transfer them in minutes with our no-holes drilled installation. Transferable truck bodies are just as the name suggests, transferable service bodies that are not bolted into the pick-up truck bed but rather clamped to the bed rails. A rubber mat is placed on the bed of the pick-up to prevent the service body from moving in the bed. Transferability changes everything!
