Works the same as a dump truck
The Switch-N-Go Detachable Truck Body System allows the
user to dump a load in a uniform pile at 50 degrees. Other detachable
systems like Holts' Mini-Roll-Off system or single pivot hooklift units do
not allow this feature. When dumping a body with their system the body is
drug on the ground until the load is out, which does not allow for a
uniform pile. Most of those units cannot achieve a dump angle
greater than 40 degrees. When the body is on the Switch-N-Go System it
will look and work the same as a dump body mounted to the chassis.
Light weight
The Switch-N-Go System adds only 500 pounds of extra
weight above having a dump body on the chassis. Other systems can add as
much as a ton to the chassis, greatly reducing the payload of the truck.
Lower cost
The Switch-N-Go System is the lowest cost system compared
to all other detachable body systems. By utilizing an electric winch and
electric over hydraulic pump on our main systems, we have reduced the cost
of installation by at least $2,000.00. This is the typical cost of a PTO,
hydraulic pump and installation on a truck with an automatic transmission.
Also, eliminating the need for a large hydraulic reservoir. For any of you
that have looked at purchasing a hooklift 11,000 to 26,000 GVWR and price
tag set you back, the good news is we are about half the cost. The basic
unit is approximately $3,000.00 more than installing a dump body on a
chassis.
Easy to install
With the electric system installation is a breeze. If you
purchase the units prewired, your installation time would be 3 to 4 hours.
We have incorporated a steel sub-frame so that you set the unit on the
chassis, attach the four sheer plates, run the power supply from the
battery and then run the control pendant into the cab. Final items would
be touching up the paint, and installing optional items like fenders and
ICC bumper with lighting kit. We expect the total install time to be less
than 16 hours.
Lower loading angle
The loading angle can be adjusted unlike some other
systems. It can load a body as low as 25 degrees. This means that a skid
steer can be loaded with an equipment platform without the loader moving
(if you try this at least use a loose chain in case there is slippery
substance on the deck).
