Here’s Why Every Contractor Needs a Truck Cargo Management System

Canadian contractors know that having the right equipment for the job is half the battle. When it comes to a contractor’s toolbox, a reliable, versatile, and sturdy truck is essential. Outfitting that truck with custom accessories to streamline your business, safeguard your tools for transport, and widen the scope of your truck’s capacity are our areas of expertise here at Showcase Truck Accessories. Here are 3 reasons why every contractor should consider incorporating a truck cargo management system into their vehicle to get the job done right. 

Give yourself room to breathe

If you’re looking for a vehicle with room to haul cargo and store tools and equipment, a truck is an obvious choice. Yet not all trucks are created equal. Short-bed trucks present problems when hauling materials such as lumber in lengths over 8 feet. Trucks without canopies often lack security and containment capacity. However, adding a canopy to your flatbed is not always the best option. Canopies inherently create height restrictions and are notoriously difficult to crawl into, limiting access to the objects you’re hauling and storing. So, what’s a contractor to do? Fortunately, advanced design technology and practical problem-solving have led to the creation of a truck cargo management system like the Truxedo Elevate line. This aftermarket racking system can be customized to fit your truck bed perfectly, offering a multitude of storage and security features. Equipment such as ladders can be secured to the top rack allowing ease of access and plenty of storage room beneath. Millwork can be supported and stowed within the railing system, and truck bed covers can be incorporated to suit. 

Diversify your reach

In theory, while a truck bed offers a large amount of space to stow just about anything, in reality, it’s just floor space that lacks the security, stability, and versatility of a proper truck cargo management system with custom-fitted racks and rails. By installing a system from Showcase Truck Accessories, you can expand your truck’s utility from a variety of construction jobs to hauling contracts, to personal recreational use such as camping, kayaking, or even helping friends move on a weekend. Some systems even come with telescopic abilities for a variety of storage sizes to accommodate unique shapes and heights of cargo. They are also compatible with different styles of truck bed covers both rolling and folding. Reach out to one of our experts to determine which system is best for your make and model. 

Secure your investments

Contractors rely on their tools to help them get the job done right and on time. Damage to your tools and equipment can cause costly delays and tarnish your reputation as a reliable professional. While installing a canopy does offer some security from theft, storing your tools and other cargo by simply loading them into the bed of your truck doesn’t offer much protection while in transit. Cargo can shift during transportation, paint cans can roll around, and millwork can be jostled and chipped. Securing your belongings, equipment, and cargo with a customized organizational system that is sturdy and tailored to the make and model of your truck is the best way to get everything from point A to point B perfectly intact.

 

A contractor’s work is always changing and the ability to meet a variety of needs is what will set you apart from the rest. A dynamic truck cargo management system from Showcase Truck Accessories can offer you the versatility, organization, and strength you need to get the job done right, every time
