Runnion Equipment Company is growing its product line by expanding its Knapheide body offerings.
The Illinois-based company says it has used Knapheide bodies for its National Crane boom trucks and Palfinger knucklebooms for many years. But now, with the recent expansion, the company has the room and capability to expand into sales and upfitting of service/utility bodies and dump bodies—as supplied by Knapheide.
Knapheide Manufacturing Company is a North American manufacturer of truck bodies and truck beds that is committed to providing customers with the highest quality service/utility bodies, platform bodies, gooseneck bodies and dump bodies in the industry.
“This is an exciting opportunity for us,” said Michael Prochot, president of Runnion Equipment. “Knapheide is a first-class, family-owned company with an outstanding product line. Our intent when building the new facility was to give us space to stretch by utilizing the skills we have honed over the years in servicing and mounting truck-mounted cranes as a stepping stone to other upfitting markets.
“We are very happy that Knapheide is giving us this opportunity to represent them as a full-line dealer.”
