Salvage Service Trucks in New Zealand

About Service Trucks

Service trucks, also known as “utility trucks” and “mechanic trucks,” are gas- or diesel-powered light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles equipped to assist with various service and repair needs in the field. New and used models for sale on MarketBook.co.nz are available for utility and electrical, building and construction, plumbing, waste management, and excavation applications, just to name a few. Compared to pickup trucks, service trucks provide more storage and lots of compartments that make it easy to keep a technician’s tools, parts, and supplies well-organized and easy to find. You’ll find these trucks outfitted with two- and four-wheel drive, five- and six-speed automated manual transmission options, and cab options that often include standard two-person options as well as crew cabs and options for high or low cabs.

Cherry Pickers & More

Many service trucks are also equipped with a “cherry picker,” or an articulated boom with a one- or two-man bucket for working at elevated positions. Depending on the truck, a cherry picker may extend to 16 metres (52.5 feet) and beyond. Many have rotating booms for greater manoeuvrability, as well as boom and bucket controls located both in the bucket and on the truck.

Service trucks also often incorporate features like a bull bar, a tail lift, a front-mounted winch, roof racks, steel trays, bottle racks, and water tanks. Larger models such as the Isuzu FVZ1400 are designed to provide heavy-duty towing capability, enabling them to haul an enclosed trailer for even more storage or a flatbed trailer for transporting heavy equipment. The myriad storage compartments found on service trucks range from small, toolbox-sized lockers on up to drop-down side and under-tray compartments, or even a walk-in area with shelving.
