Features

Hackney has unique features Not Normally Found on other service bodies

Heavy Duty Corner Post & Top Rails with Cast Corner Caps
Extruded aluminum corner post and top rails for extra strength and smoother appearance. Cast aluminum corner caps welded in place and finished off for seamless appearance and maximum rigidity.

Heavy gauge one piece side panels
Single sheet .125 gauge aluminum with only perimeter rivets showing. Side panels are bonded to intermediate body posts to achieve the smooth billboard sides for impact graphic presentation.

Double wall construction
Front bulkheads and rear doors are double wall construction for added strength and protection from everyday abuse. On P/2000 and other 2000 series bodies, walls are also double with aluminum exterior and white glass steel interior panels. Roofs are double wall on  2000 series bodies with insulation between aluminum roof and white glass steel interior ceiling.

Dropped Skirts
All Hackney bodies have lowered skirts that flush out with chassis cabs to give a sleek, modern, low profile look. Lowered skirts also hide batteries, fuel tanks, and other chassis components for a cleaner appearance. Optional skirt boxes can be installed with latching doors for extra storage capacity in this area.

Battery & Fuel Access Doors
Maintain the unbroken smooth look of the body exterior, yet allow full access to these chassis components.

Fuel fill Bezel
Required for chassis with rear in-frame tank and fuel fill hose. Cast aluminum bezel with overflow slot and tapered surface to retard spillage and prevent damage to paint and decals.

Drop Floor and Chassis

Standard on P/2000 and other 2000 series bodies. The chassis frame and the body floor is dropped behind the rear axle creating a lowered, full width, recessed rear stepwell for walk-in access to the interior.

Aluminum Snap-together Floor Planks
Structural floor planks are extruded from one piece of aluminum, with floor reinforcement ribs and locking grooves formed in place. Joined together and welded, they form an exceptionally strong floor assembly with low clearance over the frame.

Full Width Barn Style Rear Doors
Full width swing-out rear doors offer maximum access to interior space and shelving. Optional tool hanging kit turns interior door panels into valuable storage for shovels, brooms, T-handles, snakes, pipe wrenches and other hard to store tools and equipment. No exterior rivets leave smooth surface for graphics.

Spring Rod Door Holdouts

Heavy duty oversized spring and rod style door hold-outs position doors at 90 degrees to prevent injury or damage from free-swinging doors. Convenient for accessing tools and items hung on doors.

Stainless Steel Rear Door Hinges
Premium grade 4” stainless steel piano style continuous door hinges with 3/8” stainless steel pins make broken door hinges a thing of the past. Concealed hinges provide cleaner appearance for graphics on rear doors.

HD Deadbolt Lock System
Two-point deadbolt lock system with 5/8” center case (concealed between door panels) and heavy duty connecting bars with deluxe cast handle and push lock cylinder make up the premium lock system installed on every Hackney. Spring loaded safety latch for LH door holds it in place until doors overlap and lock is engaged.   

Rear Bumper
Aluminum step bumper - open grating design for improved safety. Bolts down flush on top of chassis extension framework for added “bump” protection.

Recessed License Plate Holder
Cast aluminum license plate holder with light - recessed into panel above bumper for scuff protection.

Diamond Plate Skuff Panel
Rear end panel above bumper is aluminum diamond plate for improved appearance and skuff protection.

Rear Mudflaps
Standard on every Hackney

Wiring Junction Box
Body wiring circuits terminate in enclosed junction box mounted on frame under floor in rear. Terminal lug connections are more secure and weather resistant than most splice connections and make it easier to add circuits or troubleshoot wiring.

Hackney Shelf & Tray System
All Hackney bodies come standard with a complete shelving system appropriate to the model and vocation it will be used in. Hackney shelving is all aluminum, with infinitely adjustable shelves mounted in vertical tracks. Shelves can be re-spaced, removed, or moved to another section to achieve the perfect layout that will maximize storage and efficiency. Optional tray package is added to complete the system, providing pull-out plastic trays with dividers and snap-on label holders to organize inventory and create the Ultimate Service Truck for the end user.

All Aluminum Body
Lighter weight means more payload; natural resistance to corrosion; easier to repair ; longer service life; highly recyclable.

Remountable Body
All Hackney bodies are designed to be remounted when power plant wears out, with extra strength where it counts for multiple swaps to new chassis.  This advantage yields unbeatable savings over life of the vehicle.

Three Dome Lights
Not two, but three dome lights are standard on Hackney bodies over 12 ft. in length. Wiring includes switch at rear by door and master over-ride switch in cab.
