Knapheide Dealer Serving Columbia, MO

Drake-Scruggs Equipment is a Knapheide distributor serving customers throughout Illinois and Missouri, including businesses and institutions around Columbia. We’re based in Springfield, IL — roughly a three-hour drive east via I-72 and US-54 — and we work with Columbia-area customers regularly on quotes, CAD design, and remote coordination, with delivery arranged once a build is complete.

Columbia’s mix of university, healthcare, and insurance-sector fleets, along with the ag operations across mid-Missouri, means we see a wide range of Knapheide requests from this market.

Knapheide Products Available to Columbia, MO Customers

Knapheide service body

Service Bodies

Knapheide’s KSS and EC Series service bodies are the most requested product for the fleet and facilities-maintenance customers we work with in mid-Missouri. We spec each body to your chassis and payload, then build it at our Springfield shop.

Knapheide dump body

Dump Bodies & Hoists

For the agricultural and municipal customers around Boone County, Knapheide dump bodies offer configurations for grain hauling, landscaping, and road maintenance. We carry a full hoist lineup, including electric sub-frame units for trucks without a PTO.

Knapheide mechanic truck body

Mechanic Truck & Crane Packages

Field service and maintenance crews can pair a Knapheide crane-ready body with a service crane for a complete work platform — we’ll help you size the crane to your typical lift requirements.

Knapheide gooseneck body

Platform, Gooseneck & Flatbed Bodies

Open-deck Knapheide bodies work well for hauling equipment or bulk materials, and Roughneck toolboxes add underbody or above-body storage to platform, gooseneck, or dump bodies.

Knapheide van storage

Van Storage Solutions

Knapheide’s EXXPAND van storage system brings modular Shelf Staxx shelving, Flexx Rack systems, and Sortimo Boxxes bins to cargo vans — a common request from service-based businesses.

How We Handle Out-of-State Orders for Missouri Customers

Because Columbia is far enough from our Springfield, IL shop that same-day trips aren’t practical, most of our Missouri customers work with us primarily by phone and email:

  • We review your application and chassis specs over the phone or by email
  • We provide a CAD rendering so you can approve the design before we build
  • Fabrication and installation happen at our Springfield facility
  • We coordinate delivery to Columbia or arrange pickup, depending on your preference
  • We stay available for follow-up questions and service coordination after delivery

Drake-Scruggs has distributed Knapheide equipment since the 1950s, and we regularly ship completed builds to customers well outside our immediate Springfield service area.
