A Liftgate On A Contractor Body? Absolutely! Check This Out!

 







The 12' Contractor Body is extremely popular and you will see them on the road and at construction sites all the time, but one with a liftgate is rare and offers an effective way to lift heavy items onto or off of the truck with ease. The Tommy Gate G2 Folding Aluminum Platform Liftgate doesn't block the view to the rear and yet unfolds to a substantially larger platform to make loading and unloading a breeze. It is securely attached to the rear of the Royal Truck Body 12' Contractor Body with upper open-top toolboxes with removable trays and fold-down doors for easy access including access for longer tools. Add to this the large underbed toolbox, short contractor-style gates in the back, a load divider, a forklift-loadable heavy-duty material rack, tapered headboard, trailer receiver, and wiring plug. Just imagine what this great truck body can do for your business in the field.

Of course, we cannot forget that this great body is mounted on the best truck chassis. This is the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 84"CA dual rear wheel model with 14,000 lb. gross vehicle weight rating and the legendary 6.6 liter Duramax diesel matched with the Allison heavy-duty automatic transmission. There are plenty of convenience features rounding out the entire package.

Get this truck while it lasts (and it won't be long!).
