In many places around the world, utility vehicles have become a staple for many businesses such as landscapers, contractors, painters, and other fields that require one to take their equipment with them from job to job. They offer a convenient means of transporting various items, such as ladders, compressors, pipes, hoses, and a variety of other things, when they are needed for the job at hand. There is a range of accessories specially designed to enhance the functionality of these trucks.
The versatility of these vehicles is part of what makes them so attractive to contractors and individuals, such as farmers, who need a way to transport their professional equipment. Equipping the truck with specialized services can increase the amount of usable space in the most efficient way. These elements allow you to customize the vehicle according to your own needs and specifications.
The first item most people will buy is a tray. This goes in the area that was previously occupied by the bed of a truck, and serves as a cargo transport surface. It differs from the traditional one in that it sits over the wheel well, making it easy to get gear on and off by eliminating the need to bend and reach, and provides the opportunity to add more customization for storage.
If the person prefers, they can add drop down sides and a rear door to the tray to keep things within the storage area. Steps can also be installed on the sides or rear of the vehicle. They easily lower when you need to climb onto the tray and conveniently fold up for storage when not in use.
Another item that many people choose to install on the tray is tie-down hooks. These can be placed in specific locations along the edges, or they can be in the form of rails that run the full length of the bed, allowing more versatility in where the ropes and straps can be secured. Items of this type are very useful in preventing equipment and other loads from slipping during transport.
Ladder racks are another very common accessory chosen by people who use utility vehicles regularly. These custom fit items mount directly to the tray and allow large equipment such as pipe and tubing to be transported above the truck cab. This practically doubles the amount of cargo space available.
Adding pull-out drawers at the bottom of the bed is another way to increase the amount of storage area in the truck. These items come in various sizes and are great for storing hand tools and smaller items. They come equipped with key or hinge locks, for security and to prevent theft or vandalism.
Ute tool boxes come in a variety of different styles and sizes to fit the needs of many people. They are usually installed against the cab of the truck and can be up to three levels high, with lift-up lids, drawers or cabinets. The types of accessories you choose to add to your vehicle can make it easy to customize to your unique needs and preferences.
