Cold-Weather Service Trucks: Features That Actually Make a Difference

Cold weather is hard on service trucks, tools, and equipment. When work continues through winter, the way a service body is built becomes just as important as what’s inside it.

The 11 Series Aluminum Service Body is designed with cold-weather operation in mind. These are the features that make a real difference when temperatures drop.

Diesel Cabinet Heating Built for Winter Work

The 11 Series can be equipped with the Eberspächer Airtronic Diesel Cabinet Heater S3 D2L (12V) — a reliable solution for keeping tools and equipment protected in extreme cold.

This system helps:

• Prevent air lines, fittings, and tools from freezing

• Reduce condensation and moisture inside cabinets

• Keep equipment ready to use, even in sub-zero conditions

Because it runs on diesel, it’s well suited for long hours and cold environments where electric heaters fall short.

Sealed Aluminum Body That Holds Heat In

A cabinet heater is only effective if the service body can retain heat.

The 11 Series Aluminum Service Body is sealed to:

• Limit cold air infiltration

• Keep snow and road spray out

• Improve heating efficiency

Sealing the body helps maintain consistent cabinet temperatures and protects tools from harsh winter elements.

In-Cabinet Venting for Even Heat Distribution

The 11 Series uses an in-cabinet venting system that allows one diesel heater to warm multiple cabinets at once.

This setup:

• Distributes heat evenly throughout the body

• Reduces cold spots in outer cabinets

• Eliminates the need for multiple heaters

It’s a simple, efficient way to protect an entire tool load-out with one compact heating system.

Sliding Roof Access That Protects Equipment

Winter access matters just as much as heating.

The 3-piece sliding roof on the 11 Series allows overhead access without opening side doors into blowing snow or freezing wind. This helps:

• Keep snow and ice out of cabinets

• Reduce water intrusion

• Protect tools during winter service work

Everything stays covered, dry, and ready to go.

LED Lighting for Dark Winter Conditions

Short days and poor visibility are part of winter work.

Integrated LED lighting on the 11 Series improves visibility:

• Inside cabinets

• Around the truck

• On the jobsite

Better lighting increases safety and reduces time spent searching for tools in low-light conditions.

Built to Work When Winter Hits

Cold-weather features aren’t optional when service work continues year-round.

From diesel cabinet heating and sealed construction to sliding roof access and LED lighting, the 11 Series Aluminum Service Body is built to keep tools protected and work moving — even in harsh winter conditions.
