Knapheide Steel Mechanics Service Truck Tour

Streetside Setup

The streetside of this 9‑ft steel service body features a 40‑inch side pack height, including a front vertical compartment with a seven-drawer unit to keep tools orderly and easy to grab. The wheel well compartment has two shelves, each with a row of Knapheide storage bins for parts and supplies. The rear vertical compartment contains two adjustable shelves with Milwaukee® PACKOUT™ storage secured with Knapheide adapter plates to keep cargo organized and accessible.

Curbside Setup

The curbside of this 9‑ft steel service body features a 40‑inch side pack height, including a front vertical compartment containing two adjustable shelves with dividers. The wheel well compartment has one adjustable shelf with dividers and includes Milwaukee® PACKOUT™ storage secured with Knapheide adapter plates to keep cargo organized and accessible. A rear crane compartment includes one adjustable shelf with dividers and houses equipment controls and air compressor hose reel, keeping key systems protected and ready to use.

Crane

This electric crane can lift up to 3,200 pounds and reach out 15 feet, making it easy for mechanics to safely lift and move heavy parts or equipment around the jobsite. It can be operated with a remote or from the rear compartment using simple push-button controls and display screens, plus there’s another display inside the cab. Manual outriggers help keep the truck stable while the crane is in use.

Air Compressor

This 35CFM gas engine-driven rotary screw air compressor can power air tools, inflates tires, and helps clean or blow debris from equipment right in the field. It doesn't need an air storage tank and includes a filter, regulator, and lubricator to maintain steady airflow and protect tools. A hose reel in the rear curbside compartment extends from the bumper and retracts easily for convenient use and storage.

Workbench Bumper

This full-width KnapLiner coated bumper provides a durable, convenient work surface and includes a lockable pass-through compartment for storing tools and materials. It also has the OEM backup camera built into the bumper for better visibility when reversing. Grip‑strut steps on each side make it easier to access the truck, and the air compressor hose conveniently retracts from the rear for quick use.

Cab Guard

This steel cab guard shields the cab and rear window from shifting cargo in the bed during transport and provides added safety for operators if the crane makes accidental contact. Its hex-pattern design improves rear visibility without sacrificing strength.

Work Lighting

The truck is equipped with four adjustable work lights, each producing 3,000 lumens, to provide bright, focused lighting for jobs in low-light conditions. Two lights are mounted on the front compartment and two on the rear for full coverage around the truck. Strobe functionality built into the taillights enhances visibility and adds an extra level of safety on the job site.

KnapLiner

This tough, non-slip coating is applied to the body's front panels, cargo bed floor and sides, compartment tops, bulkhead, cab guard, tailgate, and rear bumper. It helps protect these surfaces from scratches, dents, corrosion, chemicals, and everyday wear and tear.
