Knapheide Dealer Serving Decatur, IL

Decatur sits about 40 minutes from our Springfield facility, which makes it one of the easiest markets for us to serve closely. Drake-Scruggs has been a Knapheide distributor since the 1950s, and between the grain processing, manufacturing, and agricultural operations based in and around Decatur, we build a lot of Knapheide equipment for this corridor.

If you’re due for a new work truck or looking to standardize equipment across a fleet, here’s what we offer through our Knapheide partnership.

Popular Knapheide Builds for Decatur Fleets

Knapheide service body

Service Bodies

Knapheide’s KSS and EC Series bodies remain the standard pick for the maintenance and utility fleets we work with around Decatur. We spec each build to your chassis and payload, and we can add crane packages for crews doing field lifts.

Knapheide dump body

Dump Bodies & Hoists

Given how much grain and ag-related freight moves through the Decatur area, our dump body and hoist business here tends to run heavier than in some of our other markets. We stock a full range of hoists, including electric sub-frame units for chassis without a PTO, and handle cylinder and pump repairs in-house.

Knapheide mechanic truck body

Mechanic Truck & Crane Packages

For field service and heavy maintenance work, we pair a Knapheide crane-ready body with a service crane sized to your typical lift requirements — a common request from Decatur’s manufacturing and processing plants.

Knapheide gooseneck body

Platform & Gooseneck Bodies

For hauling equipment or materials, Knapheide’s open-deck bodies give you a solid, versatile foundation. Roughneck toolboxes add underbody or above-body storage to platform, gooseneck, or dump bodies alike.

Knapheide van storage

Van Storage (EXXPAND)

Knapheide’s EXXPAND system brings modular shelving and bin storage to cargo vans for the service techs and inspectors working throughout Macon County.
