Every company is different, which is why we offer personalized upfit solutions that are tailored to your industry and fleet size. Whether you’re looking for a few safety or ergonomic enhancements, or you want to customize an entire fleet, we’ll work with you to figure out exactly what you need.
We modify our workspaces, offices, and homes for efficiency — and the same goes for fleets. Upfits are necessary for many types of industries and vocations, including plumbing, HVAC, electricians, construction, and more.
Rear-view cameras, back-up alarms, grab handles, partitions, and drop-down ladder racks are a few examples of upfits that can enhance driver safety.
Upfits can reduce operating costs, increase routing efficiencies, safely secure goods and inventory, and help prevent on-the-job injuries or accidents.
Upfitting your fleet can help drive business in terms of brand recognition, having work vehicles ideally suited for specific types of projects, overall efficiency, etc.
Don’t miss out because you’re lacking the right upfits for the job.
Adding logos, wraps, or decals to your fleet is an easy, cost-effective marketing solution.
From ergonomic enhancements to the latest safety features, your fleet drivers will feel secure, comfortable, and supported knowing they are prepared for the job.
If you need a workshop’s worth of tools, parts, and equipment to handle on-site jobs, a service body keep things safe and organized. Selecting the right chassis to handle the added payload of a service body is critical and another reason why you should always work with a professional upfit team.

When large items need to be transported, flatbeds are the upfit of choice. Load the cargo from any direction without the constraints of a box. Move construction supplies, heavy equipment, and even vehicles with ease.
Industries: Agriculture, Building & Construction, Independent Contractors, Logistics, Utilities, Oil & Gas
If you need to keep transported goods safe from the elements, a box truck upfit is a popular choice. They are easier to maneuver than a semi-truck and get better fuel economy, too.

If your business needs to transport large amounts of material, such as worksite debris, stone or gravel, these open-box beds can help. Municipalities will often use a dump body to lay road salt and equip the vehicle with a plow to clean streets after a snowfall.
