In many
places all around the world, utility vehicles have become a staple for many
businesses such as landscapers, contractors, painters, and other fields which
require one to carry their equipment with them from one job to another. They
offer a convenient means of transporting various items such as ladders comma,
compressors, pipes, hoses, and a variety of other things, when they are needed
for the work being performed. There are a range of accessories especially
designed to enhance the functionality of these trucks.
The
versatility of these vehicles is part of what makes them so attractive for
contractors and individuals such as farmers, who need a way to transport their
professional equipment. Fitting the truck with specialized utilities can
increase the amount of usable space in the most efficient manner. These items
permit one to customize the vehicle to their own unique needs and
specifications.
The first
item most people will purchase is a tray. This goes in the area formerly
occupied by the bed of a pickup, and serves as the cargo transport surface. It
differs from the traditional in that it sits above the wheel well, which makes
taking equipment on and off easier by eliminating the need for bending and
reaching, and provides an opportunity to add more customization for storage.
If the
individual prefers, they can add drop-down sides and a tailgate to the tray to
keep things inside the storage area. Steps may also be installed either along
the sides, or at the rear of the vehicle. They are easily pulled down when one
needs to step up into the tray, and conveniently fold up to be stored when not
in use.
Another item
that many people choose to have installed on the tray are tie-down hooks. These
can be placed in specific locations along the edges, or they may be in the form
of rails that run the full length of the bed, allowing for more versatility in
where the ropes and straps may be secured. Articles of this type are very
useful in preventing equipment and other cargo from sliding around during
transport.
Ladder racks
are yet another very common accessory chosen by individuals who use utility
vehicles regularly. These custom fit items are installed directly to the tray
and allow for over-sized equipment, such as pipes and tubes, to be carried
above the cab of the truck. This practically doubles the amount of cargo space
available.
Adding pull
out drawers to the underside of the bed is another way to increase the amount
of storage area on the truck. These items come in various sizes and are great
for storing handheld tools and smaller items. They come fitted with with either
key, or a hinge styled locks, for security and to prevent theft or vandalism.
Ute tool
boxes come in a variety of different styles and sizes to accommodate the needs
of many varied individuals. They are generally installed up against the cab of
the truck and maybe of up to three levels high, featuring lift up lids,
drawers, or cabinets. The types of accessories one chooses to add to their
vehicle can make it easy to customize to their unique needs and preferences.
