Reading Truck,a truck equipment manufacturer and distributor, expanded its truck body lineup with the introduction of its new Contractor Body, designed with today’s contractors in mind.

“Our goal is to provide our customers with a flexible, safe, and durable design,” said Eric McNally, VP of Sales and Marketing at Reading Truck.  “It’s a really great option for our customers who are seeking a versatile workhorse that can be customized to meet their needs.” 

Reading Truck’s new Contractor body comes equipped with many of the features that customers expect from Reading Truck, including A60 galvannealed steel construction, e-coat primer and powder coat finish.

“Contractors are demanding a better-equipped and more flexible work truck, and we believe that we have met that challenge,” McNally said.  

Available in 10’ and 12’ lengths, the Contractor body is built upon Reading’s heavy-duty platform body and includes standard features such as:

• A fork truck loadable material rack.

• 12 gauge hot-rolled deck plate.

• Moveable tailboard for different space configurations with 17” fold-down rails.

• Signature tool boxes.

According to the manufacturer, the Contractor Body also addresses the safety of operators with enhanced LED lighting, and an interchangeable tapered bulkhead available to improve visibility from the cab. Many options are also available for this body, including a top-opening Spacemaker and shovel box for long storage.

The new Contractor body is backed by Reading Truck’s three-year warranty and is available for quotes as of press time.
