Designed for Class 5 and 6 dual rear wheel cab chassis.
Rugged 14-gauge, two-sided A-40 galvanneal steel body shell with a six year warranty. Complete undercoating provides an additional layer of corrosion protection.
Street Side Compartments
The front 60-inch tall vertical compartment has overlapping doors, one fixed shelf and saw blade holders. On 14 and 16-foot models, a second 60-inch tall vertical compartment with three adjustable shelves is included. Above the rear wheels sits a 36-inch tall compartment with overlapping doors and two adjustable shelves. A fixed, double wall panel then extends from this compartment to the rear of the platform.
Curb Side Compartments
The front 60-inch tall vertical compartment has overlapping doors, three adjustable shelves, and two hose/cord square tube holders. On 14 and 16-foot models, a second 60-inch tall vertical compartment with three adjustable shelves is included. Above the rear wheels sits a 36-inch tall compartment with overlapping doors and two adjustable shelves. A fixed, double wall panel then extends from this compartment to the rear of the platform.
Liftgate
The Dhollandia cantilever liftgate allows for safe and easy ground-t0-bed loading of heavy concrete saws and other cargo weighing up to 3,300 lbs. It stows vertically against the rear of the bed as a tailgate when not in use. Optional pendant control is available upon request.
Receiver Hitch
Bed includes 18,000 lb. rated receiver hitch with 7-way flat trailer plug.
LED Tail Lights
These surface mounted rectangular tail lights feature bright LED illumination, stop/turn/backup signaling, and built-in reflectivity with an option available upon request for strobing functionality with 8 selectable pattern choices. Guards inside the rear compartments protect interior wiring and other related components. The tail light’s housing, orientation and placement on the body may vary.
T-Handles
3 point T-Handles ensure your compartment doors stay closed and are individually lockable. Interior latching mechanisms include covers to prevent potential damage caused by shifting cargo inside. Locking can be facilitated via the included key entry feature and/or a power lock option available upon request.
Door Design
All compartment doors utilize pry-proof continuous hinges, weather protecting neoprene door seals, adjustable security ring striker for tighter closing, and spring or strut retainers to prevent involuntary door swing. Steel models are constructed of double-shell 20-guage, two-sided A-40 galvanneal steel while aluminum models are made from 6061 T6 and 5052 military grade aluminum.

Air Compressors
Field technicians use air compressors for diverse tasks, including powering pneumatic tools such as impact wrenches and drills, inflating tires, cleaning equipment with air blow guns, spray painting, conducting emergency repairs, and performing testing and diagnostics. The versatility of compressed air allows the operator to address a wide range of maintenance and repair tasks on-site, enhancing efficiency and enabling roadside assistance for vehicles, machinery and other equipment.
All-In-One Mobile Power Systems
Technicians rely on all-in-one mobile power systems on service trucks to offer a compact solution that combines a generator, air compressor, welder, and occasionally a battery charger into a single unit. This mobile setup takes up less space than individual sets of equipment and ensures dedicated power is delivered for electrical tools, welders, pneumatic devices, and various electronics. This makes the operator capable of performing a range of servicing tasks with greater efficiency on the jobsite.
Power Inverters
Technicians use power inverters on work vehicles for converting direct current (DC) electricity from the vehicle's battery into alternating current (AC) electricity to charge or operate power tools, laptops, cellphones, lighting, and other electronic devices one may use in field work. A dependable power source is essential for seamless on-the-go customer and business communication, as well as for efficiently executing installation, maintenance, and repair tasks that rely on electricity.
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.
Welders
Fabricate or modify metal on-the-go with portable or mounted, fuel or engine driven welding equipment. This is useful for creating custom or replacing worn components, fixing structural issues, securing loose parts, or addressing damages to equipment and other items, whether for your own needs or as service to others. Knapheide can provide guidance, procure, and install the most suitable welder, factoring in materials frequently worked on, their thickness, and the technician's skill level.
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.
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.
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.
Drawer Systems
Organize your work truck or van efficiently with drawer units in your cargo area or within compartments. Maximize storage space, keep tools and supplies readily accessible, and protect your equipment with durable, smooth-sliding drawers.
