Whether you work in construction or spend your days working on your family farm, a good cab and chassis should be a hardworking truck that offers the exact functionality for your business. Talk to our team today about how you would like to customize your cab chassis and we will work with you to find the ideal make and model.

What do cab and chassis mean?

Most commercial trucks come with a pre-built flatbed, cargo area, or other equipment. A cab and chassis, however, does not. Instead, a cab and chassis can be thought of as the blueprint for any truck. Also referred to as a cab chassis or half truck, these unique commercial vehicles are constructed to allow buyers to custom-design the vehicle according to their needs.

The basic truck comes equipped with simply a cab and chassis rails. From here, the cab and chassis can be customized with additional equipment. For this reason, cab and chassis trucks are ideal for industries WHICH call for unique components. Rather than trying to force a standard commercial truck to fit the job at hand, a cab chassis allows you to design the perfect vehicle for your business.

What are the benefits of a cab chassis?

A cab chassis is far different from most commercial trucks. Its bare-bones base makes it an ideal fit for someone who needs a specialized vehicle. Due to their unfinished nature, cab and chassis trucks are easy to build out to your specific needs.

A cab and chassis come equipped with a cabin area and a frame. The cab is ready to use from day one. The rest of the truck is your blank slate. From here, you can build out what you need on the framing, also referred to as the chassis rails.

Most specifically, a cab chassis is designed with up-fitting in mind. And because this type of truck can carry heavy loads over the rear axle, a cab chassis will accommodate large payloads.

What are the ideal uses for a cab and chassis?

A cab chassis can be utilized for a broad array of unique tasks and across numerous industries. With the right modifications, a cab chassis can sport anything from a dump body to a crane lift. Many aftermarket modification kits are available for use. These make it simple to create the right truck for the job at hand. Plus, cab chassis trucks can continually be modified to handle ongoing work.

A few common applications for cab and chassis vehicles include:

  • Agriculture, including farm and ranching
  • Electrical and plumbing
  • Construction and landscaping
  • Heavy hauling

Ultimately, there is no single-use for a cab chassis. The beauty of this unique truck is that it can be used for so many different scenarios. When purchasing a cab chassis, the focus should be on the quality of the vehicle and the manufacturer backing the product. From there, you can turn this truck into precisely the commercial vehicle you need. Transwest partners with a lot of really great body manufactures to help with your custom build for your needs.

  • Choosing a cab and chassis isn’t easy. That’s why I turned to the team I know I can trust at Transwest. They always steer me in the right direction.
