Knapheide Products Available Through Drake-Scruggs
Service Bodies
Service bodies are what Knapheide is best known for — and for good reason. From standard steel configurations to the KSS, EC Series, and crane-ready body options, Knapheide builds service bodies that hold up under daily commercial and fleet use. We’ll help you match the right body to your truck’s wheelbase and payload capacity, and handle the full installation at our Springfield shop.
Dump Bodies
Drake-Scruggs is a go-to source for Knapheide dump bodies in central Illinois. Knapheide dump bodies are available in a range of configurations for landscaping, construction, excavation, municipal maintenance, and grain transport. We also stock a full line of hoists — including electric sub-frame units for trucks without a PTO — and handle cylinder repair, PTO service, and pump repairs in-house.
Mechanic Truck & Crane Body Packages
Knapheide crane bodies are built for field service and heavy lifting. Paired with a service crane, they create a capable, organized platform for mechanics and maintenance crews. We stock and install crane body packages and can help spec the right configuration for your lifting needs and payload requirements.
Platform, Gooseneck & Flatbed Bodies
For hauling materials, equipment, or oversized loads, Knapheide’s open-deck body options offer a solid, versatile foundation. Knapheide’s Roughneck toolboxes — available in underbody and above-body configurations — can be added to gooseneck, platform, and dump bodies for additional organized storage.
Van Storage Solutions
Knapheide’s EXXPAND van storage system, developed in partnership with Sortimo International, brings modular, organized storage to cargo vans. Products include Shelf Staxx shelving, Flexx Rack systems, and Sortimo Boxxes bins. Drake-Scruggs installs Knapheide van storage solutions for commercial and fleet customers throughout the Bloomington-Normal area.
