ProTech boxes and accessories have long been famous on big rigs throughout the country, but ProTech also makes a number of fine boxes and accessories for the light and medium duty market. Above are a few examples including the famous ProTech aluminum tool box, the wheel well tool box, the contractor tool box with open top lid and drawer assemblies for tool boxes along with custom drawer assemblies.

ProTech Fire Bodies and Flatbeds by North Bay Truck Body

ProTech Fire Body

ProTech Aluminum Fire Body

 ProTech Aluminum Flatbed
ProTech Aluminum Stakebed
 
ProTech aluminum flatbed products are top of the line. Shown here are two fire bodies, which have become very popular with fire departments all over the country. Each fire department customizes the items on top of the bed. Because of the lighter weight of the aluminum bodies, much more can be carried on the same GVWR truck.
 
Next, there are two ProTech Aluminum flatbeds. One is a custom flatbed for a mobile washing company and next is a 12' Aluminum Stakebed on what looks like an F450. North Bay Truck Body has built a great many ProTech aluminum bodies and you can see many of them at their website: North Bay Truck Body. There are two on the home page and many others in the flatbeds page under truck bodies. Bob Dias at North Bay has been building ProTech bodies for over 20 years and can help you find the right body for your customer. Give Bob a call at 707-864-2700.

Geweke Auto Group New Commercial Truck Website

 
Larry Geweke Ford in Yuba City and Geweke Ford in Lodi have a new combined commercial truck website that just went online. The new website was built by Upward Trend Management Services and will be continually updated and expanding. Due to the specialty of the commercial truck market, having a separate website for your commercial truck operation makes perfect sense and having it built and maintained by commercial truck people, not just web people is a huge plus.
 
Having separate URL addresses is also a plus. Now you can promote your commercial truck department in a much better way. Now when you get a customer on the phone from outside the area or even across town, you can guide them to the website and show them large photos of what body you want them to see. Contact information is on every page, along with additional contact information on the contact page. This site just started and will continue to grow over time. It currently has 35 pages of information, links, and photos. You can really promote your commercial truck department with a site like this.
 
For more information, ask Paul Brown about their site, or contact Terry at 707-434-9967 to discuss a site for your store.
