Key Accessories for Your Knapheide Service Body
Whether you’re a new owner of a Knapheide service body, or have owned one for a while, there are ways to improve your service truck. With pickup truck boxes not fitting, service truck body accessories can get very specific. It’s important to make sure you get truck accessories that fit your Knapheide service body. Here at Elite Truck, we’ve put together some key service truck body accessories you should consider getting.
CTech Knapheide Drawers
CTech tool boxes are known as one of the best in the industry, and a reason for that is each drawer is built to order. Utilizing modern robotics and a staff of highly skilled craftsmen, CTech ensures superior durability & quality. CTech drawers also feature a proprietary MotionLatch® technology that makes opening and closing a drawer effortless. To ensure your CTech drawers fit your service body, we recommend either giving our representatives a call or submitting a custom request form.
EZ-Stak Drawer Units
EZ-Stak takes pride in their long lasting storage drawers, made out of heavy duty aluminum. Every new EZ-Stak Drawer Unit comes with a lifetime warranty to stand by their quality construction. A key feature that EZ-Stak boasts is their adjustable drawers and dividers. Each Knapheide service body drawer comes with an adjustable divider every 10 inches. With the ability to order more, you have near unlimited customization options to fit your service body tool storage needs.
Service Body Headache Racks
A good headache rack should be considered for any service truck, especially when hauling heavy equipment or gear. Some headache racks, such as RKI’s, come with extra tie down points to secure everything in the back of your truck. Others can come with different features, such as Magnum’s headache racks with lights near the top.
Cargo Slides
Grabbing things at the cab-side of your truck bed can be difficult, even more so with a service body. A great option for easy access to your entire bed, cargo slides allow you to avoid crawling into the back of your truck. Highway Products offers a 1,200 lbs capacity model up to a 4,000 lbs capacity model. At Elite Truck we recommend the 2,000 or 4,000 series bed slide for commercial use.
Service Body Ladder Racks
A large benefit you get from installing a service body ladder rack to your Knapheide service body is the ability to store long items, like ladders and lumber. Most ladder racks accomplish the same thing, but with slight differences between brands, it is important to know your needs for top storage. The Holman Pro II Ladder Rack is a more heavy duty option (with a cargo capacity of 1,700 lbs) while the Prime Design Over-the-Cab rack was designed to allow a forklift to move cargo on and off the rack.
Service Body Truck Boxes
Similar to pickup trucks, Knapheide service bodies have a lot of options when outfitting with a truck box. Buyers Products offer a top mount truck box which is compatible with service bodies. Their service body truck boxes have two flip up doors, and locking handles. We recommend this box for commercial use and for those looking for a bit more organization.
The RKI top mount truck box for service bodies is another great option when looking to bolster your storage. Crafted out of 14 gauge cold rolled steel & full arc welds, the strength on this truck box can be relied on. The service body box is one compartment, with a flip lid & latch that locks. With replaceable parts & hardware, an investment into an RKI service body truck box can be a great addition to your truck for years to come.
