Switch n Go Truck Bodies?

Hey Mike,

I am looking at making a similar purchase. I need a truck for logs that can also be used as a second chip truck. I have experience running both cable style roll off and hook lift trucks. The Switch-N-Go are built for lighter duty trucks. I need something a little more heavy duty. I definitely think that these types of trucks are the way to go for us smaller companies. They are extremely versatile because of the multiple body options the truck can accommodate. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

We just purchased one new international with this setup with 3 bodies, and putting the system on another truck this spring. We'll see how it goes. Going to be nice not havingto to strap down our old spray rig, getting a dedicated body with a whole system set up right on it, sweet.
 
I have one available. It's a 2006 Fuso fm 260 with around 8000 miles on it and a Rod Beam hooklift. It's a beast of a truck. 25999 GVWR. PM me for details.
 
Here is my setup.

Overall, I love the switch n go. Being able to put the box on the ground for big removal days and fill it with my small tractor is also a huge plus.

After owning it for 6 months here is what I would have changed: I would have gotten a longer wheelbase truck, the rear tires are dead center on the chip box. I can make a u-turn just about anywhere, but when loading the box full of oak, the 3' of overhang behind the tires gave the box enough leverage to lift the front tire of the truck off the ground.
Changing the lift angle let me load with all 4 tires on the ground.

2. The bolt on roof collects water in the tubing somewhere and leaks down the front drivers side of the box, should be an easy fix but haven't had time yet.

3. The rear doors require some effort to latch in. Need to adjust the steel hing somehow.

4. There is a little play where the box rides on the truck, coming down hill and making a sharp turn the box will rock on the truck a few inches. Feels like you are tipping over for a second.

Again, great setup if you need to switch truck bodies or load from the ground. I would recommend getting the rear tires further toward the rear of the frame if you are picking up heavy loads.
