Truck Beds for Austin-Area Work Trucks
Austin’s explosive growth has fueled a massive construction boom — and construction trucks need to be properly equipped. From general contractors and framing crews to electricians, plumbers, and HVAC companies setting up their first service truck, we help Austin-area tradespeople get the right setup:
- Service Bodies — Organized compartment storage for tradespeople, mechanics, and utility crews working Austin’s construction sites
- Flatbed Bodies — CM, Bedrock, and Norstar flatbeds for hauling materials, pipe, and equipment on jobsites throughout Travis and Williamson counties
- Crane Bodies — For utility contractors, heavy equipment installers, and rigging operations serving the greater Austin metro
- Landscape Bodies — For the thriving lawn care and landscaping businesses serving Austin’s residential and commercial markets
- Hay Beds — For the ranching operations on Austin’s outskirts and in the Hill Country to the west
- Bradford Built and Pronghorn — Premium flatbed options for buyers who want American-made quality
Austin’s Growing Trades Market
The Austin metro is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, and that growth has created surging demand for skilled tradespeople — and the vehicles they use. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, and general contractors throughout Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop counties are buying and upfitting more work trucks than ever. A properly configured service body can dramatically increase a technician’s daily productivity by putting every tool in its place.
At the same time, Austin’s tech-industry growth has pushed residential development into the Hill Country, creating new demand for landscaping and land clearing services — and the landscape bodies and flatbeds those operations rely on. We have the inventory and installation capacity to keep up with the market.
