Power Take Off Units
These transmission, engine or driveline mounted units harness mechanical power from the vehicle's running engine to operate many kinds of onboard equipment a technician may use on the jobsite. A PTO may power hydraulic systems in heavy lifting or pulling equipment like cranes, winches and hoists, air compressors used in pneumatic tools, welders, or produce electricity for generators to operate power tools. They are most popular in applications that demand high power output and efficiency.
Grill Guards
The primary purpose of grill guards is to provide protection to the vehicle's front end, especially the grill and headlights, from potential damage caused by collisions with animals, debris, or other objects. In rural or off-road settings, work vehicles are more susceptible to encounters with wildlife, and they help minimize the risk of damage. Grill guards also often come with mounting points, allowing work vehicles to be equipped with auxiliary lighting, winches, or other accessories.
Steps
Work vehicles are often large and elevated, making it challenging for individuals to access the cab or cargo area without assistance. Steps play a crucial role in providing a convenient means for drivers and operators to enter and exit while reducing the chances of physical strain or injury due to slipping or falling. The fixed or retractable accessories, available in varying lengths, allow for a more productive work environment for those interacting with these vehicles on a regular basis.
Liftgates
These rear or side mounted platforms assist in the loading and unloading of goods, typically heavy or large items, from ground level to the cargo area of the vehicle or vice versa. The incorporation of liftgates significantly enhances operational efficiency by streamlining these tasks, thereby minimizing the time and labor demands on users. They reduce the inherent risks associated with manual handling, contributing to a safer environment and mitigating the risk of injuries among personnel.
Dump Hoists
Dump hoists play a critical role in transforming work trucks into efficient material movers. These systems raise the cargo bed to facilitate the quick offloading of loose materials like soil, sand, rock, mulch or debris. The truck would essentially be a flatbed without this accessory, unable to perform its core function of efficiently depositing contents. This contributes significantly to the productivity of various industries, including construction, landscaping, and waste management.
Dump Bed Vibrators
Dislodge clumped or stuck snow, ice or loose bulk materials like gravel, dirt, or mulch via a mechanism that shakes and facilitates the flow of contents from a truck bed without manual intervention.
Trailer Hitches
Hitches are rear mounted connectors on commercial vehicles that allow operators to safely tow trailers filled with cargo. These are crucial because they significantly expand a vehicle's hauling capacity, enabling them to transport large quantities of goods, equipment, or materials needed for various business operations. Without hitches, commercial vehicles would be limited to their own bed capacity, hindering efficiency and potentially requiring additional trips.
Loading Ramps
Ramps provide better accessibility by bridging the gap between the ground and cargo area of the vehicle, ensuring efficient loading and unloading of cargo. Their versatility accommodates various goods, enhancing overall efficiency and minimizing time spent on these processes. They also help to alleviate physical strain on workers engaged in moving goods by reducing the manpower needed for manual lifting, thus preventing injuries and fostering a safer working environment.
Winches
Commercial vehicles, especially those engaging in off-road activities, may encounter challenging terrains or obstacles. A winch can be used for self-recovery or to assist other vehicles by providing the necessary pulling power to get them out of difficult situations. They can also be valuable in reaching, lifting or positioning a range of loads including heavy equipment, holding up structures temporarily, or handling large or bulk amounts of materials around the jobsite.
Backup Alarms
Backup alarms, also known as reversing alarms, are crucial safety devices for vehicles, especially those with large blind spots or frequently operating in areas with high foot traffic. They emit an audible warning sound when the vehicle is in reverse gear, alerting nearby pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers of the vehicle's movement and potential danger zone. This helps to prevent collisions and accidents, particularly in situations where the driver might not have a clear view behind them. Knapheide and it's partners upfit many of the heavy equipment, industries and vehicles where backup alarms are an integral piece of safety equipment.
Salt Spreaders and Brine Sprayers
Spreaders and sprayers efficiently distribute dry granular salt or liquid brine onto roads and paved surfaces, preventing the formation of ice and enhancing traction. These specialized devices improve safety by reducing the risk of accidents caused by slipping or sliding and are more efficient than manual spreading methods. They are crucial for those responsible for maintaining roadways during winter weather, ensuring that travel remains safe and efficient even in challenging conditions.
Snow Plows
When others count on you during winter weather conditions, you can count on Knapheide Truck Equipment Center to provide you with the highest quality snow removal products like pushers, plows, and blades that will help you make easy work of the toughest snow removal jobs.
Tarp Systems
Tarp systems are commonly used on dump trucks, trailers, and roll-off containers, ensuring safe and secure transportation of various materials like sand, gravel, scrap metal, and agricultural products. These protective shields keep your cargo secure and safe from the elements with durable tarp material and manual or power operation for opening and closing.
