Upfitting, priced by the item

Ten items, each with a price, a weight, a lead time and a note about what it means at turn in. Everything is fitted in our bay on the same site as the yard, so no vehicle is transported twice.

  • Steel shelving, three bay

    Three bays down the driver side with adjustable dividers, a parts bin wall and a bolt-through mount with sealing washers so the holes close cleanly at turn in.

  • Composite shelving, lightweight

    Same three bay layout in a composite material that saves 127 lb against steel. On a payload-limited van that is most of a second technician's kit.

    At turn in Standard on most units. Removal at turn in is not required.

    Two rows of load-area LED with a door trigger and a manual override, wired through a fused take-off rather than spliced into the factory loom.

    Four drawer aluminium unit on slides rated to 300 lb per drawer, with a keyed-alike lock set matched to the vehicle fleet key.

    At turn in Bolted to the bed rails, not the bed floor. Removal leaves no penetration.

  • Service body conversion

    Steel service body with eight external compartments, a bolt-on crane plate and a compressed air provision. The longest lead time in the catalogue, so order it with the chassis.

    $8,600

    At turn in Body stays with the unit at turn in, which is worth about six residual points.

  • Inverter and auxiliary battery

    2,000 W pure sine inverter on a second battery with a split charge relay, so running a press or a laptop station never leaves you with a flat starter battery.

    $1,150

    At turn in Wired through the upfitter switch bank. No loom splicing.

  • Telematics unit and subscription

    OBD-linked GPS with engine fault codes, idle time and driver scoring. Hardware is charged once; the subscription is $22 per vehicle per month and cancellable with 30 days notice.

    At turn in We remove the unit at turn in at no charge.

  • Full colour vehicle wrap

    Full wrap in cast vinyl with a laminate, designed from your existing brand files. Cast vinyl is the point: calendered film bakes onto Texas paint and costs you the removal charge.

    Up front
    $2,900
    Capitalised, 36 months
    $86/mo

    Added weight
    6 lb

    At turn in Removal is included when we fitted it. Adhesive residue from a third party wrap is a chargeable item at $145 a vehicle.

Sample prices and lead times. Weight matters more than most fleets expect: a parts-heavy van with a steel shelving package and a full tool drawer system is carrying 580 lb before a single fitting goes in the back. Composite shelving buys 127 lb of that back.

Three rules our bay will not break

  1. 1

    Bolt through, never self-tap

    Every penetration gets a sealing washer. It costs a few minutes at fitting and saves $240 a set at turn in, and it lets the shelving transfer into your next van.

  2. 2

    Cast vinyl with a laminate, always

    Calendered film is cheaper and bonds to Texas paint. We will not fit it, because we are the ones who have to remove it in three years.

  3. 3

    Fused take-offs, never a spliced loom

    Accessory power comes from the upfitter switch bank or a fused take-off. A spliced factory loom is a $290 charge at turn in and a fault-finding nightmare in year two.
