Features of the Aluminum Slip-In Service Body

Service Trucks | May 1, 2025

Slip-in service bodies provide organized tool storage and mobile workspace capability without permanent chassis mounting. Our aluminum slip-in service bodies deliver durability and functionality in a removable configuration that transfers between trucks.

5052 High-Strength Aluminum Construction

The bodies use 100% 5052 high-strength aluminum throughout, providing structural strength without the weight of steel construction. Lighter body weight increases available payload capacity for tools, equipment, and materials while improving fuel efficiency.

Aluminum construction eliminates rust, extending service body life in environments involving road salt, moisture, or chemical exposure. The corrosion resistance proves particularly valuable for trucks operating in coastal areas or winter climates where steel bodies deteriorate rapidly.

Tiger Drylac 138 Powder Coat Finish

The ultra-durable Tiger Drylac 138 powder coat provides superior surface protection against scratches, impacts, and weather exposure. This industrial-grade finish maintains appearance and prevents the oxidation that dulls bare aluminum over time. The coating resists chipping from tool impacts and abrasion from loading equipment, keeping bodies looking professional through years of daily use.

5-Year Limited Warranty

Manufacturing quality and materials are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. This coverage demonstrates confidence in construction methods and provides protection against defects in materials or workmanship.

Customizable Interior Configuration

Inner wall panels accept adjustable shelving and drawer systems, allowing interior customization to match specific tool and equipment requirements. This flexibility lets you reconfigure storage as your needs change rather than working around fixed compartment layouts.

The customization capability makes slip-in bodies adaptable for different trades or specializations without requiring complete replacement.

Sizing for Different Truck Beds

8-Foot Service Body

Fits long box single rear wheel or dually trucks. The truck tailgate remains in place, maintaining original bed functionality when the service body is removed.

6-Foot Service Body

Designed for short box single rear wheel trucks. Installation requires tailgate removal to accommodate the service body length.

Removable Advantage

Slip-in bodies mount inside the truck bed rather than replacing it permanently. This design allows body removal for transporting oversized loads, transferring the body to a different truck, or returning the truck to stock configuration for resale.

The removable design proves valuable for operations that need different truck configurations seasonally or for fleets that want to extend body life beyond individual truck service periods.

Slip-in bodies offer an alternative to chassis-mounted service bodies for applications requiring flexibility. Contact us to discuss which service body configuration best matches your operational requirements.
