Work Smarter, Not Harder

The Load'N'Go Security Top by Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies featured in the YouTube video above was customized specially for a communications company. Features were added so electrical technicians could easily work off-road and at night. LED lights were installed on the inside of this unit and inside the side compartments for easy access to tools and equipment at night. The LED lighting is controlled by a push/pull switch in the side cabinet, and can also be turned off when the technician closes the side compartment door for convenience.

A ladder rack with a snub-nose includes ratchets on the side to firmly secure ladders to the rack so they don't come loose in rough terrain. A 1000 lb capacity, 100% extension pull-out slide was added to this unit featuring a backboard so nothing falls off the back of the slide. A recess key-holder with locking cap securely stores additional keys for the unit. A camera with microphone was installed on the back of the unit so technicians can see and hear what's behind them. A remote-controlled spotlight provides added vision at night to light up the work area from a distance. Finally, a bumper winch kit has been added to the front of the work truck for optimum safety if a technician gets stuck in the field.

• Come standard with an 1000 lb capacity customizable pull-out parts drawer
• Fit all major makes and models of long or short bed pickup trucks
• Tailgate can remain on for additional security
• Have secure, double-locking side compartments for extra storage

Safety Tips for Fleet Trucks this Winter

It is that time of year again as winter approaches, to prepare your vehicle for safe driving.  For fleet trucks it is important to go over the basics of winter driving to be able to prevent any accidents.  One of the best ways to make sure that you’re driving safely during this season is to improve the contact points between the vehicle and the road surface, which will help avoid slipping and sliding in a vehicle.  It is also recommended that fleet companies opt for winter tires to maximize safety.  Other helpful tips are to always be aware of other drivers on the road, drive at the according speed limit and plan ahead by checking weather conditions before heading on the road.

 To enhance safety for fleet trucks, the Load'N'Go service bodies by Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies, such as the SecurityTop, are equipped with stainless steel, double locking T-handles, and made to protect expensive cargo from both theft and weather damage. They can be transferred from one pickup to another with optional four-corner lifting jacks, a crane, or a forklift via the built-in forklift tunnels. The Security Top fits all major makes of pickup trucks such as Chevy, Dodge, GMC and Ford short or longbed models. Some of its features include 2000lb capacity on floor above drawer, 1000lb capacity drawer, and double locking compartments (cylinder and padlock).

NEW REMOVABLE UTILITY BODY FOR ½ TON PICKUP TRUCKS

The Load'N'Go Lowboy makes Debut

PHOENIX, Ariz. (May 15, 2009) — Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies has started delivering a new product for its Load'N'Go line, the Lowboy.  Load’N’Go is the industry’s first fully removable and transferable full size steel utility body.   The Lowboy incorporates Load’N’Go’s ease of transferability while being light enough to be utilized in the ½ ton pick-up truck market.  Enormous storage and the security of steel combined with light aluminum diamond plate are the foundation of this utility bed.

“This is the last tool box you will ever have to buy, as it will outlast many trucks” according to Richard Johnson, Manager of Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies.  “Technician downtime is also minimized.  When the truck is in the shop for service, your technician can still be working with all his tools in a rental truck, by transferring the Lowboy in a matter of minutes.”

The Load’N’Go Lowboy includes the following innovative features:

• Cost-saving benefits because of universal fit for all major brand, standard pickup trucks
• Perfect fit for both new or existing used fleet vehicles
• Extra security – standard key locks plus pad-lockable security
• Built-in forklift tunnels and lifting jack receptacles for easy installation and removal
• Models available for both long bed and short bed pickups

The Load'N'Go is a steel transferable service body with aluminum diamond plate, full length side boxes, and a 1000 pound capacity slide out drawer that universally fits Ford, Dodge, and GM pickup trucks. Load’N’Go has a “no holes drilled installation” and built in forklift tunnels for easy transfer from one pick-up to another.

A slip-on truck body from Fleetwest is a service technician’s smart choice for low cost, maximum flexibility, and minimum downtime.  “Given the depressed economic conditions, price quote requests on our web page (www.Fleetwest.net) have skyrocketed lately,” Johnson states.  “Technicians are looking for the best price for a replacement work truck, when they come across a transferable truck body.”  “They realize they can ELIMINATE the cost of a new service truck, because they can use an existing pickup truck as a work truck.”
