More than anything else, I love finding new ways to solve problems for customers. One of the best ways to do that is to look all around and find other truck bodies that may already exist that can be used in a slightly different way by a customer who would not normally buy that model because it was originally designed for another user. The photos above are a perfect example.
I've seen a lot of fire equipment trucks, and when I saw these, I immediately thought of using them for various contractors and other users and how these designs could be a huge benefit to help them solve more of their problems and help them do their job easier and more effectively.
What I love her is the cab high body with the roll up doors. In this case, the doors are not in the way, so you can get right up to the body. I think this is an advantage. Notice on several there is a drawer in the first compartment behind the cab, so it is a transverse compartment (meaning it goes all the way through).
When you look at the next few photos, think of all the different kinds of things your customers carry and how they can carry even larger or different shape things in these bodies than the normal service body they may be buying. Notice also in the rear that it is not like a cargo bed enclosure, or even a low pro plumber type design, but is a compartment similar to the side compartments only larger and longer. Then, it has a slide out drawer to gain access to the contents all the way to the back. I can think of all kinds of items contractors can carry in here. Another benefit is that nothing is exposed. Out of sight, out of mind.
Then look at the larger size bodies and think of your customers who use larger service bodies or plumber bodies and look at the last few photos. Just imagine what could be going on inside these bodies! I especially love the yellow body in the larger photo. I can see a serious remodeler, mobile repair, or racing company using this unit. I love the roll up doors saying "come on in! We'll fix you up right here!"
These bodies may cost a bit more than a service body, but look at the solutions and the interest you will get from your customers. Of course, you can also use them for your fire customers. . .
