Jennifer Heller of Future Line Manufacturing shows off a built in tool drawer on a flex bed truck body at the company’s booth during the 2019 Work Truck Show.
A service body meets a flatbed in a new product from Future Line Manufacturing.
Called the Flexbed body, the innovation features tool drawers built an aluminum flatbed body.
“So you’ve got the convenience, security and weather-proof drawers of a service body and then you have the flexible hauling space of a flatbed,” said Jennifer Heller, Future Line’s chief operating officer, during an interview at the company’s booth at the 2019 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
“They went nuts over this at the show,” Heller added. “I honestly didn’t expect this kind of a a response. we are talking to people that we had never talked to about bodies before because of it.”
Headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Future Line is looking at launching a service body in the near future.
“We’re researching on the service body side.” Heller said. “we’re hoping to launch something but I’m not saying it’s going to be exactly what everyone thinks because we don’t exactly what everybody thinks.”
Future Line’s products already include dump, gooseneck, and landscaper bodies as well as platforms and tool boxes.
