2016 Palfinger Service Bodies

The all galvannealed steel Omaha Standard Palfinger Service Body reflects more than 80 years of exceptional truck body building. This know-how combined with superior materials, advanced design and manufacturing processes, and an epoxy electrocoat primer result in the best service body on the road today. And thats why we offer the longest limited warranty in the business--- six years on door hinges, door latches, trays, rust through and three years on all other body components.

Features may include:

• Full-length rust resistant stainless steel door hinges. Internal bolt on attachment gives optimum security and ease of replacement vs. competitors riveted/welded on door hinges. Heavier 1/4 diameter stainless steel hinge pin vs. competitors 1/8 diameter pin 100% larger.

• Bonding compartment door panels together with structural automotive epoxy adhesive results in the strongest, most rigid doors of any service body on the market. No welds mean less chance of rusting.

• Adjustable bolted on large diameter striker pins combined with automotive rotary door latches provide positive door closure.

• Exclusive vertical legs of intermediate cross members rest on truck frame to provide maximum body support in critical wheel well area.

• Strongest understructure of any service body 7ga. full-width formed channel cross members vs. competitors 11ga. cross members 50% thicker material. Front cross member reinforced with 7ga. plates at body mounting points. Cross members are bolted to side compartments to give maximum support. Entire body underside has automotive type undercoating.

• Standard stainless steel paddle latches.

• Blind bolt stud mounting vs. competitors riveted on metal latches results in greater security and ease of replacement. Optional stylized automotive rotary paddle latches match truck door handles and are available for a slight upcharge.

• Full perimeter weatherproof automotive bulb type neoprene door seals. Double spring door retainers on full-sized vertical doors to hold doors in positive open or closed position.

• Entire body exterior made from 14-ga A-60 two sided galvannealed zinc coated steel.

• Interior light guards provide light protection and routing for wire harness. Light guards are bracket mounted and easily removable for light maintenance. Competitors light guards are welded to body making it difficult to install/service the lights.

• Omaha Standard PALFINGER service bodies receive complete electrocoat prime paint coverage. Because they are e-coated before the doors are installed (unlike the competitors bodies) Omaha service bodies get total paint coverage, including behind the door hinges. This means superior rust protection in a critical areas.
