Have you ever gotten ready to start a project but realized you didn’t have enough space in your trucks, meaning you’d have to take more time and trips to bring everything you needed? What about being tasked with transporting different pieces of equipment and not being able to take everything in one trip because of lack of space? Have you ever been in the middle of a project and suddenly ran out of power, needing a generator ASAP but not having one nearby? These are many of the common hurdles that can happen on job sites – but, having specific upfits installed on your units will prevent these issues from happening, offering you immediate solutions when problems arise. We’ve put together a list of 5 must-have upfits for heavy-duty work trucks, helping you stay productive while working. 1. Stakesides & Liftgates When you pair stake sides and a lift gate, you’re unstoppable.

We have both wood sides and metal sides depending on your preference. Plus, lift gates are great for loading and unloading equipment safely. 2. 3-in-1 Need a Miller 3-in-1?
