When you want the functionality of a removable roof chip body, but don’t have a large crew to handle the roof removal, the SKYBOX chip body is your solution. Perfect for smaller tree companies, the SKYBOX’s retractable roof can be opened and closed with only a single operator, and it doesn’t require any tools to do so. This innovative design significantly enhances operational efficiency by eliminating the delays and challenges associated with traditional removable roof systems. It strikes the perfect balance between functionality and practicality, enabling efficient chip hauling without sacrificing space or safety. This smart design transforms the chip body into a versatile tool that adapts to varying job site demands with ease.
Safety is a Top Priority
Safety is paramount when it comes to operating chip bodies with removable roofs. A removable roof chip body offers near limitless hauling heights, but that comes at the expense of needing a few people to move the heavy, bulky roof. The SKYBOX eliminates these safety concerns with its special roof panels. These roof panels are designed for movement by only one person. The chip body features two rugged roof panels that easily roll back and forth on a stainless steel track system with maintenance-free roller bearings. Heavy-duty spring loaded pins are used to securely hold each roof section in the open and closed position to erase concerns of unintended movements. With a design centered on ease of use, the SKYBOX makes it simple and safe for operators to adjust the roof panels quickly so they can keep the job moving with efficiency.
Versatility for Any Job
The SKYBOX is your ideal choice for a chip body that can handle a variety of jobs. Thanks to the sliding roof panels, you can chip trees and brush, as well as load bulky landscape materials from above with one single truck. This versatility means the SKYBOX chip body can adapt to multiple tasks on a job site without the need for multiple specialized vehicles. No matter if you’re chipping dense wood debris, collecting brush or transporting large landscaping materials, the SKYBOX provides unmatched flexibility to effectively tackle whatever the job demands.
SKYBOX Chip Body Features
In addition to the capacity for hauling tree chips and large landscaping materials at the same time, the SKYBOX offers features for enhanced durability, storage and productivity.
- Large, lockable, built-in steel toolboxes
- Industrial-grade epoxy liner to protect against corrosion, abrasion and acidic debris

These features combined create a durable, user-friendly and productive chip body that supports safe and efficient fieldwork, making the SKYBOX a standout product in the chip truck industry. There are also a host of optional features available for you to customize your SKYBOX chip body. From rooftop ladder racks to rear underbody boxes, you can choose which options are right for your business.
