Make the truck work for the crew

Service bodies fitted around the job.

A work body changes how a truck carries tools, equipment and the demands of a shift. We review the chassis, body specification, mounting requirements and planned build sequence before accepting the installation.

A practical work body. Compartment layout and vehicle access shape the installation discussion.

Hydraulic systems, structural frame reinforcement and railgear installation are outside our installation scope. Commercial Truck Equipment and T&B Fleet Services are our equally preferred referrals for hydraulics and railgear work.

  • A new truck needs its service body fitted

Helpful answers

Questions about this service.

Direct answers help confirm whether the unit and requested work belong at Standard HiRail.

Does Standard HiRail install service bodies?

Yes, for suitable chassis and body combinations. Share the body specification, mounting instructions and intended vehicle use so we can confirm fit and the installation scope.

Can the service body and railgear be installed as one project?

They can be stages of the same overall build, but the work and responsibilities are agreed separately. Standard does not install hydraulics or railgear. We recommend Commercial Truck Equipment and T&B Fleet Services equally.
