About Service, Utility & Mechanic Trucks

Ford F550 Service Truck
Service, utility, and mechanic trucks are used by mining operations and municipalities as well as construction, railroad, utility, and other operations to perform repairs, maintenance, and other work in the field. Doing so can create efficiency and productivity gains, especially in situations when transporting heavy equipment such a bull dozer or excavator back to a shop isn’t feasible or would create even greater delays and logistics issues. What primarily distinguishes these types of trucks from a basic pickup truck and similar vehicles is the specialized storage compartments and drawers they include to organize and transport the tools, parts, supplies, and other equipment necessary for technicians, mechanics, and service providers to carry out specific tasks onsite.
Characteristics & Equipment
You’ll find trucks for sale in this category ranging from Class 1 (0 to 6,000 pounds/2,720 kilograms) to Class 8 (33,001 lbs/14,970 kg or greater) models. Many are heavy-duty trucks such as those from International, which can be used as general service trucks or possibly for towing. The majority, however, are light- and medium-duty vehicles such as the popular Ford F-Series F250, F350, and F550 and Chevrolet Silverado and RAM 5500 models. Some of these trucks are equipped with cranes, and others with enclosed bodies for working in inclement weather. Automatic and manual transmissions are common inclusions, as are 4x2, 4x4, and 6x4 drivetrains and specialized equipment including air compressors, hose reels, ladder racks, trailer hitches, tow hooks, extendable riggers, and more.
