Work Truck Wednesday Is Moving Stuff Day!

 





Delivery vans are more than popular in today's business environment. This unit is an excellent heavy-duty choice for many delivery business needs. It is tall enough to stand up in, the sides are made out of extremely durable FRP with straight and smooth sides for excellent graphics display. The inside has two rows of E-track to help strap in shiftable loads securely. This is important: It has a full-size roll-up rear door for full access to the interior without any doors to open or hold open. It is perfect for backing up to a dock or platform or even loading with a forklift. The front is aerodynamic to glide through the air with ease. The bulkhead is solid FRP to keep the noise in the back and not in the front. Excellent visibility, great turning radius, and so much more!

This great Supreme Spartan box van is mounted on the Chevrolet 3500 Express Cutaway Chassis with 9,900 lbs. GVWR, so it is ready to carry whatever load you need to give it. With a gas 4.3 liter V6, this unit has plenty of power and still has fuel efficiency.

Work Truck Wednesday Shares The Virtues Of The Combo Body




The Combo Body is a Service Body where the rear compartments have been removed and the floor is extended about 3' and extended out to the sides to create a very nice work platform. It usually comes with short fold-down removable gates around the platform to help keep things in the bed area where they should stay. This body usually has a heavy-duty forklift loadable rack as well. This creates a very useful body in that you have a similar storage capacity of the Service Body, but the rear work area like a flatbed, hence Combo Body. The work platform is somewhat lower than a flatbed would be so it makes it very easy to use. You can pull out your chop saw and go right to work, then store everything in the body when you're done. It is a great choice for a wide variety of contractors and users.

The combo body can also have taller compartments. The standard height is about 41" and varies slightly with different manufacturers. This makes the top of the compartments come to about the middle or slightly lower of the rear window. The taller compartments are often 60" tall and are above the rear window slightly. Although very rare, a low-pro version of the combo body would be about 34" and the top of the lids would be at the bottom of the rear window. With the combo body being mounted more often now on medium-duty trucks, the 60" tall is becoming more popular due to the substantially extra storage space that it offers.
