Utilimaster recently showcased three of its utility vehicles demonstrating the brand’s wide range of capabilities at The Utility Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, September 28-30, 2021—an Aeromaster walk-in van, a Ford Transit cargo van, and a Ford F-150 pickup truck.
The Utilimaster is a brand of The Shyft Group’s Fleet Vehicles & Services business unit, a North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing, assembly, and upfit for ecommerce-driven parcel delivery, as well as the broader commercial, retail, and service specialty vehicle markets. It provides utility trucks specifically designed to perform essential services in the most difficult and rugged conditions.
The three new specialized vehicles are:
- Aeromaster Freightliner MT55 walk-in van: features an Onan generator, a Team Fenex air delivery system, an EZ Stak interior cargo package, vise assemblies, cargo area HVAC, and flip down rear step bumper. This step van is upfitted to serve as an underground substation vehicle that delivers fresh, climate-controlled air to utility workers working underground.
- Ford Transit cargo van: includes a solid steel bulkhead with windows, Stabiligrip cargo flooring, Legend DuraTherm liner, LED strobe lighting, Samsara GPS, GFI outlets, and a 3600w inverter. This upfit is designed for electric meter testing applications.
- Ford F-150 pickup truck: showcases a Workforce topper, StorMaster combo cargo management system, drop down ladder rack, and Vanner inverter. This truck is ideal for general contractors and light-duty jobsite applications requiring quick and secure access to tools.
“Each of us rely on the essential services provided by utility companies and municipalities as they keep our communities functioning. At Utilimaster, we provide the vans and trucks that make this work easier for frontline crews. We’ve seen first-hand all summer how important these services are as we’ve witnessed flooding, storm damage, and power outages across North America from hurricanes, thunderstorms, and other inclement weather,” said Chad Heminover, President of Shyft Fleet Vehicles and Services.
He added: “Each one of these utility vehicles demonstrate Utilimaster’s ability to deliver highly customized upfits to our customers that are tailored to their specific needs. We build vehicles that are ready to meet the challenges for the specific job at hand – from cargo vans and pickup trucks to large walk-in vans.”
