We wouldn’t blame you for being excited about bringing your new mechanics’ truck out into its first heating season. But, don’t let your excitement distract you from preparing your trucks and drivers to deal with the icy roads, snow piles and extreme low temperatures. Protect your most important assets by following these cold-weather checklists. Checklist for trucks: Proper tires can help your truck maintain traction. Make sure your trucks are equipped with snow tires or tired chains Speaking of tires, tire pressure drops as the temperatures do. Make sure the air pressure in your trucks’ tires is at the proper level Use a 50/50 solution of coolant and antifreeze in your truck to protect against winter freezing and corrosion of engine metals Replace old windshield wiper blades. They should be able to clear off the windshield effectively enough for your drivers to see in extreme snow or rain Make sure headlights, blinkers, taillights, emergency flashers and brake lights work properly Check the windshield and windows for cracks or pitting. The cold weather can cause the metal of your truck to shift, which can further damage broken or chipped glass Safety kit checklist for drivers: Keep a safety kit inside your trucks containing necessities such as: A shovel Bag of salt or kitty litter for tire traction and snow melting Flashlight with extra batteries Blankets and extra sets of warm clothing First aid kit Flares, emergency cones or reflective triangles Tow and tire chains Backup phone charger and USB cable Anything else your drivers may need to stay safe in case they become stranded! The key to a successful heating season is preparedness. Having the right gear on hand at all times can help your drivers avoid a disaster, and making sure your trucks are winter ready can keep them running efficiently for seasons to come. If you have any questions about truck safety, or you’re in the market for a new, custom-built work truck, contact TSVA now!...

You have high standards in what you want from a mechanics’ truck, and we have high standards in our manufacturing partners. That’s why we’re confident you’ll find the perfect mechanics’ truck from our partner, Stellar® Industries. Like their name suggests, Stellar Industries provides mechanics’ trucks that are simply out of this world. From the crane to the body, they build every component with precision. They offer two lines: the TMAX™ Series Steel Service Bodies and Cranes, and the TMAX Series Aluminum Service Bodies and Cranes: TMAX™ Series Steel Stellar Industries’ TMAX Series Steel line includes four models: TMAX 30K Service Body – The TMAX 30K is designed for contractors, municipal markets, rental homes and anyone in need of a service crane that lifts 5,000 pounds or less. It features a crane compartment, which isolates the lifting forces of the crane into the stabilizers and chassis frame. TMAX 1 Service Body – The TMAX 1 weighs in at almost 1,000 pounds more than the TMAX 30 and is designed to meet the needs of public utilities, construction companies and those in need of medium lift range. It features the Stellar Industries torq-isolator crane support design, which isolates the crane compartment from the rest of the side pack. TMAX 2 Service Body – For heavy lifting at a longer range, the TMAX 2 is just right. It uses a torsion box understructure as well as a torq-isolator crane support to transfer lifting stresses to the box-type subframe, rather than the compartment doors. TMAX 3 Service Body – For those with the heaviest demands, such as construction companies that operate large fleets, the TMAX 3 is an ideal fit. Like all Stellar mechanics’ trucks, it offers comprehensive turnkey packages and many available options. TMAX Series Aluminum The TMAX Series Aluminum line comes in three models: TMAX 30K Aluminum Service Body – Structurally similar to its steel counterpart, the TMAX 30K Aluminum is about 10 pounds lighter and features side packs for increased resistance to corrosion. TMAX 1 Aluminum Service Body – Like the TMAX 1 Steel, the TMAX 1 Aluminum has a crane body featuring deep compartments that have double panel doors for reduced truck weight and added protection against corrosion. TMAX 2 Aluminum Service Body – Like its counterpart, the TMAX 2 Aluminum also uses a torsion box understructure and torq-isolator crane support to ensure lifting stresses transfer to the stabilizers and box subframe, as opposed to the compartment doors. Find Your Perfect Mechanics’ Truck Truck Service of Virginia can help you find the mechanics’ truck that’s perfect for your needs.
