Knapheide Dealer Serving Kansas City, MO

Kansas City is one of the larger markets we serve as a Knapheide distributor, and while it’s a longer haul from our Springfield, IL facility — around 300 miles via I-72 and US-54 — we regularly build and ship Knapheide equipment to fleets throughout the KC metro. Freight, logistics, construction, and agribusiness all run heavy in this region, and Knapheide’s product lineup covers most of what those industries need.

Knapheide Products We Supply to Kansas City-Area Fleets

Knapheide service body

Service Bodies

The KSS and EC Series cover fleet maintenance, utility service, and general commercial use — the most common Knapheide request we get from this market.

Knapheide dump body

Dump Bodies & Hoists

Given the scale of construction and municipal road work around Kansas City, we see a heavier mix of dump body orders from this market than from some of our smaller Missouri accounts. We stock a full hoist lineup, including electric sub-frame units for chassis without a PTO, and handle hoist, cylinder, and pump repairs in-house.

Knapheide mechanic truck body

Mechanic Truck & Crane Packages

Equipment maintenance and heavy field service crews rely on Knapheide crane-ready bodies paired with a properly sized service crane.

Knapheide gooseneck body

Platform & Flatbed Bodies

Open-deck platform and flatbed bodies support the freight, materials hauling, and equipment transport work common throughout the metro, and Knapheide’s Roughneck toolboxes add underbody or above-body storage.

Knapheide van storage

Van Storage (EXXPAND)

Field service and delivery fleets use Knapheide’s EXXPAND van storage system to keep cargo vans organized and consistent across a fleet.

Fleet Orders and Remote Coordination

Because of the distance, most Kansas City customers work with us primarily by phone, email, and CAD review rather than in-person visits. Here’s how that typically goes:

  • Initial conversation about your fleet size, chassis specs, and application
  • CAD-based design sent for your review and approval
  • Fabrication and installation at our Springfield, IL facility
  • Coordinated delivery to the KC metro, or pickup arranged if preferred
  • Follow-up support for service questions once trucks are in operation

For fleet managers running multiple trucks, this process lets us build to a single, consistent spec across the whole order — something that matters when you’re managing equipment across a large metro area.

Drake-Scruggs has been a Knapheide distributor since the 1950s, and we regularly work with customers well outside our immediate central Illinois service area, including fleets throughout western Missouri.
