The new lineup of service bodies that CM is offering has been battle tested for many years, with over a million miles of testing already completed on the body. All the service bodies will be primered and powder-coated, offer three-piece toolbox doors for added strength, come standard with shelving on both sides, and available with install kits and wiring harnesses.
CM Truck Beds Now Offering Service Bodies to Distributors CM Truck Beds, America’ s largest flatbed manufacturer, announced last week that they are now offering service bodies to their distributors. Known as the premier lineup of flat decks in the industry, CM Truck Beds recognized a clear opportunity for service bodies in their product lineup, especially through their strong network of trailer dealers.“ Not only does this new product lineup give us an exciting offering for our customers, but it offers our distributors a new channel to distribute our products to in the marketplace. We are not only offering a base model solution but have capabilities to offer custom products to our distributors at a price point that are network desires. Our lead times on the new service body product lineup will be the best in the industry, helping our distributors gain business faster and allowing them to meet customer demand much more rapidly than buying from a legacy service body manufacturer,” said Joe Lewis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, CM Truck Beds.
Due to its component style foundation, the new CM Service Body is easy to repair, option up, and configure. Lewis added“ Dealers everywhere will enjoy the fact that they will have the ability to replace side packs, add shelving, add flip tops, and even a one size fits all ladder rack system. This will significantly impact the service hours in the service departments of our distributors, clearly the most profitable piece of a dealership.” With a full spectrum of shelving, toolboxes, ladder rack systems, and lighting available, distributors will be able to order parts to help up-fit the new CM Service bodies to the needs of their customers and OEM dealerships. Distributors will have the ability to ship the new service bodies on loads with their CM Flat deck truck bodies, helping with freight and inventory expense. Additionally, CM Truck Beds will offer a 4 year, 48,000-mile warranty on the body which is a best in class feature for service bodies.
