Durashell 370 as alternative to SUV or VAN

Work Truck Online recently published an article on the Durashell 370 that highlights the advantages of a transferable truck body on a standard pickup truck versus an SUV or Van.  Highlights of the advantages and cost benefits of the Durashell 370 include:

• over 6 feet internal height
• lower cost 4 wheel drive solution
• 12.5 feet internal length
• separate hazardous materials and loose tools from passenger cabin
• eliminates technician downtime when van or suv is in for service or repairs (simply remove the Durashell 370 fully loaded onto another pickup truck)
• lightweight solution - only 720 pounds
• huge storage capacity - 370 cubic feet
• better fuel economy
