Switch-N-Go Stats
Switch-N-Go is primarily designed as a way to get a whole fleet’s worth of utility out of a single truck. The versatility of this detachable truck body system allows companies to purchase multiple bodies and equip them to a single truck — as opposed to buying multiple trucks equipped with one body. This can double or triple your return on the Switch-N-Go truck and reduce the amount of overhead in your fleet along with creating more profit.
Here are some of the key facts and figures to consider when deciding whether to invest in one of these systems:
- The Switch-N-Go has a winch capacity of up to 18,000 lbs. and a hoist capacity for dumping up to 12 ton depending on the model.
- In equivalent sizes, the Switch-N-Go hoist is less expensive than other detachable truck body systems.
- The hoist systems on Switch-N-Go bodies are primarily powered by an electric motor, however, some heavier models have an all-hydraulic PTO powered hoist and winch. This give you the options to pick the hoist that best works for your needs.
- Compared to other detachable truck body systems, the Switch-N-Go hoist system is lighter and can be equipped on lighter-duty trucks giving you more payload than other systems.
- Switch-N-Go hoist systems are designed to use bodies that are built by Switch-N-Go which is owned by Deist Industries. You also can modify and attach other bodies to the Switch-N-Go sub-frame for use on the Switch-N-Go hoist.
The Right Truck for a Switch-N-Go Hoist and Bodies
Generally, Switch-N-Go bodies are the best choice for lighter-commercial duty trucks from 26,000 lb. GVWR and down. Since Switch-N-Go bodies and the electrical components are lighter, this truck body system can be equipped to the lighter chassis down to under 14,500 lb. GVWR or less. This can be a crucial advantage as it allows businesses to upfit the trucks already in their fleet rather than buying a specific truck for the hoist system and gives a greater range of chassis that the hoist system can be mounted on.
Although the Switch-N-Go hoist can be mounted on a chassis with a GVWR as high as 33,000 lbs. if needed, one of the most popular chassis GVWR’s for Switch-N-Go is 19,500 lbs. That is the general weight class for trucks that commercial and municipal users have preferred to equip with this system.
