FORESTRY TRUCK BODIES
Forestry trucks, also known as chipper trucks, are specifically designed for tree care and landscaping professionals. These trucks are used to haul away branches, wood chips, and other debris generated during tree trimming, removal, and maintenance. Built with high-capacity dump bodies and reinforced sides, they’re ideal for handling heavy loads and rough materials in off-road or jobsite environments.



Knapheide is the nation’s most capable provider of forestry truck bodies, equipment and accessories in the United States.

In this video we found a local tree company with an old truck that needed some love, so we did a body swap and some quick updates to keep them moving forward.

CHIPPER TRUCK UPFITTING
Forestry trucks and chipper bodies are essential tools for professionals in the tree care, landscaping, and municipal maintenance industries. Arborists and tree service companies rely on these trucks to efficiently collect and haul away limbs, brush, and wood chips generated during pruning, removal, and storm cleanup jobs. Utility companies and city maintenance crews also use chipper bodies for clearing vegetation around power lines and public spaces, helping to maintain safety and aesthetics in both urban and rural environments.
​
When choosing the right forestry truck or chipper body, it’s important to consider the size and type of work being performed. Smaller crews working in tight residential areas may benefit from compact units with maneuverability and easy dumping features, while larger operations or those handling big volumes of debris will need high-capacity bodies with heavy-duty hoists and reinforced sides. Additional features like tool storage compartments, integrated ladder racks, and removable chip roofs can also enhance functionality and improve jobsite efficiency.
​
Durability is another key factor—forestry work can be tough on equipment, so selecting a body built from high-quality steel or aluminum with rust-resistant coatings will ensure long-term performance. It's also wise to consider the compatibility of the body with the chassis you’re using or plan to purchase. Partnering with an experienced upfitter can help ensure the build meets industry standards, legal weight limits, and your team’s workflow needs.
