DuraMag, a brand of The Shyft Group’s Specialty Vehicles business unit, is debuting its new aluminum S-Series service body at Work Truck Week 2022 at the Indian Convention Center in Indianapolis at booth #3053, with a dedicated press conference on, March 10, at 10AM.
DuraMag was recently acquired by The Shyft Group, and has been a manufacturer of aluminum service truck bodies for more than 10 years. The Shyft Group is a North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing, assembly, and upfit for the commercial, retail, and service specialty vehicle markets.
The Shyft Group also recently purchased Royal Truck Body, a steel service truck body manufacturer, and with the DuraMag aluminum body, it will leverage both brands via footprint and body type.
Shyft is now able to provide a national offering of custom-built galvannealed steel and aluminum vocational truck bodies, each designed for the unique applications, preferences, and needs of its users.
“We are now a nationwide player in service bodies,” said Steve Guillaume, President of Shyft Specialty Vehicles. “Customer-centric innovation remains our number one priority, so we’re pleased this successful collaboration provides a truly national distribution of both steel and aluminum products, so we can better serve our clients, no matter their location.”
The new S-Series from DuraMag features a strong understructure and significant standard features. Its body strength comes from its welded infrastructure, which is free of rivets and screws and designed for continuous hard work with full length, heavy duty, long sills.
Top product features include:
- All-aluminum (6000 Series) understructure with extruded box tube defines the strength, rigidity, and weld ability of the body;
- Radius Swing doors with automotive grade compression t-handles, nitrogen props on vertical compartments for smooth and easy compartment door handling along with industry leading fit and finish;
- Extreme-duty (6000 Series) .625 interlocking extruded aluminum floor that is heated and cured for extreme strength and durability, compared to a standard sheet floor;
- Welded fender flares for superior strength and rigidity;
- Standard smooth 3/16” aluminum Inner-bed walls and exterior top of compartments.
