CHARLOTTE, Mich., March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Truck
Body® ("Royal"), a go-to-market brand of Spartan Motors, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SPAR), reporting under the Spartan Chassis and Vehicles
("Spartan Specialty Vehicles") business unit, will display at The
Work Truck Show (NTEA) in Indianapolis from March
3 to 6, for the first time in nearly two decades.
The most recent of the Company's acquisitions, Royal Truck Body,
joined the Spartan Motors family under the Spartan Specialty
Vehicles segment in September of 2019 and brings heavy-duty service
truck bodies with more standard features than the competition to
the organization's portfolio. Built in a myriad of
vocation-centric configurations, Royal Truck Bodies are today
constructed of A60 galvannealed steel and feature easy-to-access
secure compartments and spaces built to last and enhance how
tradespeople work. Royal Truck Bodies fit seamlessly onto new
and reconditioned OEM truck chassis, including Ford, GM, and
Ram.
"We are excited to showcase the Royal Truck Body lineup at this
year's Work Truck Show as part of Spartan Motors' full commercial,
fleet, and specialty vehicles product portfolio," said Steve Guillaume, President of Spartan Specialty
Vehicles. "Royal's product lineup offers tradespeople
high-performing, long-lasting truck bodies with more standard
features than the competition. It's our attention to detail,
vocation-centric body offerings, and emphasis on after-sale service
and support that position us well for future growth in this
space."
On display in the Royal Truck Body booth is an 8' service truck
body, featuring heavy-duty double-walled compartments, ample
storage space, stainless steel tailgate guards, a key coded locking
tailgate, and Royal's Fortress 5-Point Lock System for unmatched
jobsite/lot security and protection – all standard options and
included in the body's base price.
Also showcased in the booth at The Work Truck Show is the 11'
severe duty Royal Truck Body, a bolstered version of the 8'
body. The severe duty body comes standard with A60
galvannealed steel body construction, a 12-guage diamond plate
steel floor, and 10-guage cross members. Additionally, it is
structurally reinforced—from front to rear—to accommodate the
addition of specialized equipment. The truck body also comes
standard with an extended-life reinforced poly bed liner and a
heavy-duty Class III recessed rear bumper to accommodate heavy
workloads and ensure performance in extreme conditions. The severe
duty body features taller compartment heights and gas shocks for
vertical doors to provide additional cargo space and easy access
for large equipment and tools. All compartment doors include
the Royal Fortress 5-Point Lock System for additional security,
featuring "One-key" universal compartment and vehicle access as a
standard feature. The severe duty body on display in
the booth also features Royal's patented modular ladder
rack.
