RRB – Removable Roof Body

BUILT FOR A TON OF CHIPS AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

We raised the roof on this model of roof body… quite literally. Get all the perks of our standard RRB – Removable Roof Body, plus the added benefit of removing all or some of the roof to haul trees and shrubs to be planted or most anything needing more vertical capacity. With this model you still benefit from the smooth-sided design to advertise your tree care business by keeping any important print below the point of roof separation.

Built to easily release the biggest catches

Swing open the tailgate, securely latch it flush against the side of the truck, and hit a button to loosen the load where desired. Our power hoist uses electricity (11′-12′ models) or hydraulics (14′-16′ models) to quickly and reliably release your catch of tree debris.

Optional handles, folding steps, and additional racks allow you to expand your hauling capacity to the roof with easy access to whatever you secure on top.
