Work Truck Wednesday 12-5-18: Let's Raise The Roof!

Rich McGrath with Paradise Fleet shows off a Chevrolet 2500HD Double Cab with a powerful 6.0 Gas V-8 engine with a 6-speed transmission with many interior and exterior optional features. This unit has a Harbor 8' Service Body with Stainless Steel open top lids, a material rack, and a Raised Cargo Bed Enclosure. Raising the lockable sliding 3-piece roof on this Cargo Bed Enclosure really expands the cargo area and keeps things out of the weather and out of sight. Harbor's Cargo Bed Enclosure slides on Teflon pads making it trouble free and more easily controlled in sliding and also in having it stay put where you want it.

Paradise Fleet typically has several of this model and configuration in stock ready to go out and go to work. You can see one example in our inventory here. Or, better yet, give us a call with your work truck needs at 951-252-2980.

Standard Material Rack vs Forklift Loadable Rack

Here's a quick video of the difference between a standard ladder or material rack, or it could be called a non-forklift loadable rack, versus the forklift loadable version. The easy way to tell in a hurry is that there are typically two sidebars that run the length of the rack that are a few inches apart. This allows one to put a load up against the sidebars and to help keep the load on the rack and also make it easy to tie the load down. The forklift loadable rack doesn't have that top full-length bar. Instead, it has what many call goal posts, which also allow you to put a load next to them to help keep it on the rack, and then that load can also be tied down. The big difference is the height of the load bars or crossbars. On the forklift loadable rack, the crossbars are higher than the full-length sidebar, which allows the load to be put onto the bars and then there is sufficient room for the forklift forks to be removed. On the standard rack, the load bars and the lower sidebars are the same height.

Work Truck Wednesday 11-28-18: 2018 Chevrolet 3500HD Diesel w/12' Combo Service Body

Rich McGrath of Paradise Fleet and Commercial shows off a 2018 3500HD 6.6 Diesel chassis with a Harbor 12' Combo Body. This is a very versatile rig combining the virtues of a service body and a work platform on the rear making it like a flatbed and service body in one combined with the added benefit of the lower height of the floor of the bed as compared to a flatbed.

Combo Body vs. Contractor Body Explained

Here's a brief overview of what makes a Combo body. The Combo body is often confused with the Contractor body. The Contractor body is a flatbed with tool boxes on top and a Combo body is a service or utility body where the last compartment is removed and a work platform is added. The Combo body always has a steel floor, and the Contractor body typically has a wood floor, but it can also have a steel or aluminum floor. The other difference is that the Combo body has a much lower height work area than the Contractor body. If you have more questions, contact the Paradise Chevrolet Fleet team at 951-252-2980,
