Maximum Maneuverability Landscape/Debris Body




Here's a great example of a 14' Landscape Dump Body, which can also be used as a Debris Body with 48" steel sides that are half solid and half steel mesh with swing-away rear barn-style doors, tarp, and receiver. The best part of this particular rig is the maneuverability of this truck. It is mounted on an Isuzu Tilt-Cab or often called a Low Cab Forward chassis that only has a 132" wheelbase. That is about the same as a pickup truck with an 8' bed. This truck will get in and out of places other units would struggle with and will run circles around other trucks with a 14' truck bed.

Call Premier Truck Center to find out more about a truck body that will make your job easier and more efficient. We fabricate our own flatbed products. Call us at (941) 729-8196 or visit us on the web at http://www.premiertruckcenterllc.com/
