5 Ways to Supercharge Building Supply Delivery while Reducing Costs
Efficiency is everything in construction. Just-in-time (JIT) delivery techniques ensure materials arrive precisely when needed, reducing storage costs and preventing job site congestion. Swap body trucks take JIT efficiency to the next level by maximizing the efficient use of each truck to reduce costs and improve delivery operations.
Swap Body Trucks, also known as Demountables, allow a single truck chassis to quickly switch between multiple bodies. Instead of waiting hours for loading or unloading at a job site or warehouse. Drivers can swap an empty body for a loaded one and return to delivering in about ten minutes—eliminating delays and increasing delivery capacity.
How Swap Bodies Supercharge Delivery Operations
Reduced Fleet Costs – Fewer truck chassis are needed since each can serve multiple bodies. Existing and new trucks can be upfit with swap body equipment.
Lower Labor Costs – Fewer warehouse staff and drivers are required. Bodies are loaded independent of the truck reducing downtime, overtime, and rush loading.
Maximize Vehicle Usage – Drop one load, pick up another in about 10 minutes. Trucks are always moving.
Less Congestion at Job Sites – Bodies can be dropped and used for on-site storage.
Two- or Three-Trucks- in-One Value - Each chassis can utilize different body types. Have a flatbed in the morning and a box truck in the afternoon all on the same cab-chassis.
