Pride Bodies LTD has achieved a 200-pound weight reduction in its mechanics bumper using aluminum instead of steel.

Pride Bodies continues to advance its aluminum service bodies by providing features that allow their customers to carry a full complement of accessories such as service cranes, air compressors, and welders along with a full payload of products.

Said President Russ Lanthier, “Durable aluminum bodies allow our customers to consequently reduce the truck class while increasing the payload.  With the cost of fuel and the intensity of DOT monitoring of truck weights, assembling the right combination of chassis and truck body is important in today’s economy.”
