Highway Products’ aluminum service bodies are now 45% lighter than steel and 15% lighter than competitive fiberglass models, the company said.
“We learned very quickly what products weathered the elements. Aluminum not only lasts virtually forever, but you get the benefit of light weight which allows you to carry more cargo in a lighter-GVW vehicle. Plus, lighter weight service bodies gives better fuel economy resulting in less emission and reduces wear and tear and maintenance on the vehicle” said Gene Gros, president and founder of Highway Products.
Highway Products specializes in custom manufacturing and customizes service bodies to meet customer needs and specifications. The bodies fit all truck brands and bed sizes and offer features like top open boxes and baskets to maximize storage capacity, optional lockable center hatch to secure the bed area against theft, and weather resistant, custom slide out drawer for side compartments.
There is also a 2,000 lbs. capacity slide-out cargo tray for easy and quick accessibility to heavy tools stored in the bed area.
