Our most innovative crane body helps you work with more safety and efficiency than ever. A torsion box understructure enables a powerful 45,000 pound-foot rating at 100% throughout the lifting zone.
Available as a factory-installed option. The liner provides durable, watertight and airtight truck bed protection. Prohibits rust, corrosion and surface abrasion while providing a slip-resistant surface for walking around on without fear of losing your footing.
Create a secure seal on your service body compartment doors without sacrificing convenience, all with the snap of a single handle and padlock. The master locking steel slide bar simultaneously locks an entire compartment side to keep your tools and other equipment safe.

Features
Integrated Tie-downs

Secondary Bulkhead
Protects the hydraulic tank from cargo damage; designed to provide easy access to the tank when needed.

Workbench Bumper
The 21″ workbench bumper provides a generous workspace, with a 5/16″ riser vise plate to allow mounting a vise without drilling into the enclosed storage compartment. The all-new design is shaped to integrate and protect the power stabilizers, and safeguard the chassis’ rear view camera from damage. Permanently welded grip steps on both sides of the body provide easy access to the loadspace, with nothing to unfold.
Compression Handle
Large compression handles are designed with ergonomics in mind, easy to operate with a gloved hand. The compression feature helps cinch the door tight during latching and secures the door in the closed position.
