The Game-Changer: Transferable Truck Bodies

 

The Game-Changer: Transferable Truck Bodies

In fleet management, versatility equals profitability. Transferable truck bodies (slip-in or detachable units) allow you to load or unload a service body from a truck chassis in minutes.

Instead of a permanent commitment, your truck becomes a modular tool.


Why It’s a Smarter Investment

  • Chassis Independence: When your truck wears out, move the service body to a new chassis. The body often outlives the vehicle.
  • Zero Downtime: If a truck needs repairs, swap the body onto a backup or rental. Your tools and workspace stay on the road while the engine is in the shop.
  • Higher Resale Value: Sell your truck as a standard pickup to a broader market and keep your specialized equipment.
  • Multipurpose Utility: Use one truck for multiple roles—switch from a technician’s workshop to a flatbed or a delivery unit in under 15 minutes.

The Bottom Line

While the upfront cost may be higher, the Total Cost of Ownership is significantly lower. By decoupling your equipment from your vehicle, you protect your assets and eliminate downtime.

Transferable Truck Bodies--Can Be Moved Fully Loaded

 Fleetwest has slip-on truck bodies that can be transferred to other trucks while loaded. You can even take off your truck body and leave it at a job site with our optional jacks. This will allow your tools to stay locked and safe. Protecting your valuable cargo in a slip-on truck body makes so much financial sense. Our double locking doors and side compartments provide the security you need to prevent theft.

 We have 3 different Load’N’Go models to choose from: 

  •  Fixed Top
  •  Open Bed
  •  Sportsman

They all fit most standard long-bed and short-bed models. You can transfer them in minutes with our no-holes drilled installation. Transferable truck bodies are just as the name suggests, transferable service bodies that are not bolted into the pick-up truck bed but rather clamped to the bed rails. A rubber mat is placed on the bed of the pick-up to prevent the service body from moving in the bed. Transferability changes everything!
