Jordan shows us a unique change to an 8' Service Body that makes it so much more useful and effective in the same space. It's not a bigger body, but a substantially more effective one. The transverse compartment is part of the magic, and then combine that with the horizontal series long horizontal compartment, add the master lock system, Harbor's push-button locking system, stainless steel lids and this changeup creates magic when it comes to functionality and effectiveness.

Harbor Tranverse Compartment - Available with Full Width or Divided Access
This 11' Harbor Service Body has a special Transverse Compartment in the front In this case the space is opened up to go across the bed are to the back of the opposite compartment on the other side of the service body. You could also go all the way through if that was needed. Notice how the shelf that lines up with the floor is a permanent steel shelf welded in place and the additional shelves are removable and movable.
The value of the Transverse Compartment is to give more space that can be locked and secured. You lose a bit of the front of the cargo area, but we think you'll agree that it is a very worthy trade-off. This is not an expensive option and Harbor does them all the time in various ways on a number of Harbor products. This is just one of the many modification we can make to our standard products inexpensively to make them more useful for your business.

Maximize Your Truck's Fuel Efficiency
Don't you love your diesel truck? Most of us do. We love the torque and the power they offer. With the cost of diesel fuel rising in recent years, here are some ways to maximize your truck's fuel efficiency.
Maintain your truck
Maintaining your truck is the most important thing you can do to improve fuel efficiency. Not only regular maintenance keeps it running well, it also helps your truck to use less diesel. Some shops have the knowledge, experience, and top of the line products to keep your truck running at maximum performance and efficiency. Also here are things you can do yourself to maximize your truck's efficiency.
1. Get regular oil changes
2. Use fuel additives to keep your fuel injectors clean
3. Clean the air filter
4. Make sure your tires are property inflated
5. Drive with the tailgate up (it was once thought the tailgate should be down; however, that is a myth. Keeping the tailgate up creates an air bubble in the truck bed make the truck more aerodynamic.
6. Drive and accelerate slower
Although accelerating slower can remove some of the fun from driving your powerful diesel truck, it saves you fuel. Slow and steady driving saves fuel! The ideal speed when you are driving on a highway is no more than 55 mph for the best fuel economy.
7. Empty the bed
Look in your truck, what do you see? Heavy items like metal tool boxes filled with heavy tools weigh down your vehicle and make you burn more fuel. If these heavy items are not needed on a daily basis, you can remove them from your truck. Only keep what you need in your truck. This small modification can enhance your fuel efficiency.
8. Replace your exhaust system
Replace your truck's existing exhaust system with a high quality exhaust system. This will increase the air flow rate, provide more horsepower, reduce back pressure, and also enhance your truck's fuel efficiency considerably.
9. Use the right tires and check tire pressure often
Tires can affect mileage of the vehicle by 10%. It is important to buy the right tires and maintain proper tire pressure to optimize fuel efficiency.
10. Consolidate your trips
For getting peak performance, it takes about 15 minutes for your truck to reach its ideal operating temperature. When you make small trips, then come back home, wait for a while and then go back out, you are burning fuel in a less than efficient manner. To prevent this, consolidate your trips to use fuel in a more efficient manner.
Better fuel efficiency is something we could all use these days. Use these simple tips to enhance your diesel trucks fuel efficiency.

Harbor CraneMaster and the Venturo ET18KX - Ready for the Heavy Loads
A CraneMaster body begins as a standardized Harbor TradeMaster Service
Body. The right rear compartment is reinforces for the mounting
of the 18,000 ft. lbs. crane with 4,500 lb. lifting capacity. This Harbor 11' CraneMaster body
is mounted on a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 4500/5500 Dually. The crane is a Venturo
ET18KX.
The crane has electric functions
for the winch, elevation, rotation and extension. We typically add a leaf to
the spring on the crane side to help keep the body level after the installation
of a crane. Notice the crane rest for cradling the boom. We can also
install outriggers for stability, particularly on larger cranes mounted on higher
bodies.
This unit also has an optional
18" bumper extension with tool box compartments.
