Utility Van Bodies
KUV Steel Utility Van Bodies create optimized organization for the technician, dividing the storage space into manageable compartments that are externally accessible from either side of the body. The technician pulls up to the jobsite, exits the cab and immediately has quick access to the tools and parts they need without having to crawl into the cargo area. Dedicated conduit chutes enable the technician to store longer items without cluttering the floor of the oversized cargo area. Knapheide’s KUV is constructed of rugged galvanneal steel so the technician can have confidence it will provide years of reliable service. More contractors and technicians utilizing an enclosed utility body as their work vehicle choose a Knapheide KUV.
Say goodbye to crawling around in the back of your cargo van endlessly searching for tools, parts and equipment. Invest in a KUV and get more billable hours out of your day.
