If you are a contractor in a trade or service industry, you know the importance of carrying all your tools and supplies with you to every site, but do you have the right set-up to be able to do it efficiently and safely? If you don’t, Dematco Manufacturing Inc. can help. We’re an established Edmonton-area manufacturer of truck service bodies that provides contractors the solutions they need to get the job done.
Common Requests
Service bodies can be tailored to specific industry needs, which allows contractors to create the perfect mobile workspace for their needs. Nonetheless, over the years of manufacturing truck service bodies for Alberta contractors, we’ve noticed that no matter what service industry or trade our customers are in, they make many of the same requests. Here are six of them and some of our personalized solutions.
Compartments: Contractors tend to request multiple compartments or cabinets along the sides and sometimes in the rear in order to keep equipment and materials organized and safely stowed during transport. Contractors often request locking mechanisms on these cabinets to secure their valuables and limit theft.
Materials: Service bodies can be customized from the side panels down to the flooring, compartment walls, doors, and roof. When it comes to fabrication, this means a choice of aluminum or steel. Your choice will depend on your industry’s needs and your budget.
Layout: You know your needs best, so you can choose the compartment configurations, drawer systems, and overhead racks you need to optimize storage, organization, and accessibility.
Lighting: LED compartment lighting and work lighting can be added to improve your early morning and evening work visibility.
Power Solutions: Depending on your surface area, you may require built-in power inverters or generators to run power tools on-site. They can be added to your customized service body.
Ergonomic Access: Work is hard enough without making accessing your truck or tools a chore too. Fold-down steps, grab handles, and low-profile designs can be included in your personalized service body.
Preferred Solutions
It would take too long to describe all the industry-specific customizations that are available, but to give you a sense of what is available, we offer three examples of request by tradespeople.
Electricians often request specialized compartments for wire spools, conduit storage, and secure spaces for expensive testing equipment.
Plumbers tend to ask for pipe racks, tank storage for gas cylinders, and watertight compartments for fittings and tools.
HVAC Technicians ask for climate-controlled compartments for sensitive parts and easy-access storage for commonly used tools and supplies.
