Commercial window cleaning and high-rise maintenance crews carry a lot of gear: water-fed poles, squeegees, buckets, harnesses, ropes, anchors and sometimes a pure-water tank. A well-chosen truck body keeps it all organized, secure and ready for the next stop.
What These Crews Need From a Truck
- Lockable compartments: rope-access and fall-protection gear should stay clean, dry and locked. Service body compartments are ideal.
- Roof or ladder racking: extension ladders and long poles ride overhead, keeping the compartments free.
- Water capacity: pure-water systems add real weight, so check payload before you order.
- Easy access: crews load and unload several times a day, so low step heights and well-placed shelving save time.
Body Options to Consider
- Service bodies for gear-heavy crews. Browse service bodies for sale and STI service bodies.
- Flatbeds for crews that haul lifts, tanks or pallets of supplies. See flatbed truck bodies.
- Platform bodies for open, flexible cargo. Compare platform truck bodies.
Plan for Weight
A 200-300 gallon water tank, hoses, a pump and a full compartment load can add up quickly. Add up everything, then compare to chassis GVWR. Our guide to calculating payload after a flatbed or service body upfit walks through the math.
