Altec to Feature Lightweight Bodies at 2017 Work Truck Show

Birmingham, Ala., March 15, 2017 – Altec will feature newly launched products with a focus on lightweight materials at the 2017 NTEA Work Truck Show.

“Our industry continues to see a strong demand for lighter bodies that maximize payload while decreasing fuel consumption” says Justin Chandler, Altec Sales Manager. “With this in mind, we’ve strategically designed composite bodies that meet the needs of our customers and their various work applications.”

Included in the show’s lightweight lineup is Altec’s fiberglass Service Crane Truck modeled after the existing Mobile Service Truck used by Altec Service. The truck features an integrated steel crane support structure, master body locking system, boom support and fiberglass shelving.

Also on display will be Altec’s new low clearance, fiberglass enclosed body designed to maximize interior height for greater storage. The enclosed body has a lower profile for parking garages and incorporates Altec’s integrated core material, dropping excess weight.

Altec will feature steel, aluminum and fiberglass products at this year’s show. “Because we offer all three industry materials, we don’t have a bias,” says Chandler. “Altec provides the best solution for our customer’s needs, whether it’s weight, cost or corrosion that is most important.”

Altec offers the total value of single source manufacturing and installation with complete engineering integration of the body, chassis and mounted equipment. From concept to delivery, customers can work directly with Altec in all aspects of purchasing and owning a service truck. From financing, training and maintenance to disposal, one company handles it all.
