THE KNAPHEIDE ENTERPRISE
We've produced high quality, work-ready transportation solutions for nearly two centuries and have become known for our truck bed and truck body manufacturing. (And that's not surprising, considering this type of manufacturing has been at core of our business since 1910.) But throughout the years, we've also grown our company through our product lineup, capabilities, services, locations and network, which has allowed us to become more than just a truck body manufacturer.
KNAPHEIDE IS A TRUCK BODY AND VAN EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER
The Knapheide name has become synonymous with truck body manufacturing, but we also produce van bodies and van equipment.
Today, our most popular work vehicle bodies are service bodies, mechanics bodies (Knapheide Mechanics Trucks (KMTs)) and enclosed utility bodies (Knapheide Utility Vans (KUVs)). We also produce platform bodies, gooseneck bodies, dump bodies, saw bodies, fuel lube truck bodies, forestry bodies and water truck bodies, all of which are produced in our three manufacturing facilities, located in Quincy, Ill. (Two of those facilities are dedicated to producing our more traditional steel bodies, and our other, newer facility is devoted to the production of our aluminum products.)
And while we manufacture an extensive list of work truck bodies and equipment, we aren't solely focused on our manufacturing capabilities.
KNAPHEIDE IS YOUR SOLUTIONS PARTNER
We all know that when it comes to work vehicles, there's no one-size-fits-all, even within an industry, for bodies or equipment. And that's why we specialize in producing customized, turnkey solutions, tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals and fleets.
This may have you wondering what exactly we mean by turnkey solutions. And how does Knapheide factor in?
Well, whether you need a truck with a standard - or custom - Knapheide body, Knapheide Van Equipment or even non-Knapheide equipment, we can help. And if you're not quite sure what you and your team will need in the field, you can check with any of our 250+ distributors across the nation. Through them, you'll be able to reap the benefits of our Solutions Engineering team's application knowledge, engineering expertise and OEM chassis partnerships. And with their help, you can rest assured that your upfit, whatever it may be, will be equipped with everything you need to get your job done.
Knapheide is capable of more than designing and manufacturing bodies and equipment though. We can help turn your concepts into reality.
