Features
E-Coat Immersion
Knapheide Bodies are fully immersed in Knapheide's 12-step, electrodeposition prime paint system for superior corrosion resistance.
Body Shell
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.
C-Channel Understructure
Superior understructure strength from 6” formed C-Channel cross sills
Automotive Latches
Our 6-year warranty backed automotive quality, paddle activated rotary latches make opening and closing compartment doors easy. Interior latching mechanisms include covers to prevent potential damage caused by shifting cargo inside the compartments. 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.
External Compartments
The size of compartments is influenced by the cab-to-axle length of the vehicle chassis or cutaway and the body height you plan to choose. Consult our specifications table for further guidance. Line service bodies do not come with shelving as a standard feature and must be a requested body option.
Return Flange Floor
Exclusive "Return Flange" floor design provides support for side compartments, adds floor strength, and eliminates rust-prone exposed seam between floor and side compartments.
