In 1992, two of the former owners of Jerr-Dan Corporation opened a new manufacturing company, TruckCraft Corporation, dedicated to providing high quality, niche products to the light truck industry. Starting with only two products, TruckCraft has now grown to eight classes of products.
TruckCraft builds bodies and equipment for the market comprised of pickup trucks up to, and including Class 5 one-tons. While marketing through a network of 145 dealers with more than 160 locations in the U.S. and Canada, TruckCraft remains devoted to innovation and quality excellence, and continually strive to develop niche products to fill market needs and provide world-class customer service.

TruckCraft’s new LANCER is a green-focused aluminum service body available for Single rear wheel pickup’s and Dual rear wheel cab/chassis that will save fuel every driven mile while providing years of secure storage. The deck floor and under structure are made from custom-designed aluminum alloy extrusion with tensile strength equivalent to steel for real durability, but weighing in at only 640Lbs (SRW) 840 Lbs (DRW). Combine powder-coated cabinet doors, the near-zero maintenance of aluminum, stainless steel hardware and you get TruckCraft’s great fuel saving service body that will likely be moved on to your next truck.
The details of the Single or Dual wheel LANCER are where the value of this new TruckCraft-designed body really shines through. Compare the welded double panel door construction, stainless steel door hinges, the black and chrome twist lock T handles, bright diamond plate cabinet tops and adjustable cabinet shelving, and we believe you’ll see greater value than in any other comparably priced service body. How about these additional features – single handle top-drop/slam-shut tailgate, gas springs on vertical doors, rubber mounted LED lights with factory wiring harness, D-bulb style rubber door weather seal, and a five year limited factory warranty. Mounting hardware is included for certain box-delete single rear wheel pickups. *NOW AVAILABLE WITH REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY & INTERNAL LIGHTING!

TruckCraft’s aluminum ZEUS dump bodies for one-ton chassis save about 500 Lbs over steel dumps, but offer the same hoist ratings to get your jobs done quickly using less fuel. ZEUS features three to four yard capacity, a double-acting hoist, 50° dump angle, up to 3/16” floor thickness and cross sills every five inches. This item ships completely assembled, with sub frame painted, and comes with all stainless steel hardware.
The ZEUS one-ton dump body for up to 19,500 Lb GVWR chassis, will permit you to haul up to 500 Lbs more each load because ZEUS’s robust aluminum construction saves 500 Lbs over like-sized steel bodies with equivalent hoist ratings.
Never sandblast or re-paint your one-ton steel dump body again to try to get another few years out of it. The ZEUS will stay looking sharp with little maintenance, and you will be able to move it to a new chassis someday without having it crumble apart because of all-too-familiar cancer rust. Saltwater boats, aircraft and automotive applications have demonstrated time and again that if selected properly, aluminum will withstand saltwater and moisture corrosion much better than steel without costly paint maintenance.

TC-101 MAGNUM STEEL INSERTS
A new productivity tool from TruckCraft makes your pickup truck a working dump truck. If you’re scratching your head and wondering what the real differences in pickup dump inserts are, you should check out the features of TruckCraft’s TC-101 MAGNUM.
The big question – how much can it dump? Let’s face it, if it dumps wimpy it’s because it’s designed wimpy. The dump capacity of MAGNUM is 6,200 Lbs, and it is backed with a three year limited warranty, including the MONARCH power unit, to give you confidence it will dump 6,200 Lbs everyday, period. The muscle doing the heavy lifting is the U.S.A.- made three stage telescopic cylinder. It has premium chromed rod sections and aluminum glands with internal wear bands, premium components to be sure, and though you don’t see them, they are just two of the many designed-in reasons for long life and excellent performance of TruckCraft dump inserts.
On to the paint job; as you probably already know, preparation is everything in powder coating. That’s why we first grit-blast the tub and tailgate to clean and mechanically etch the steel for good primer adhesion. After that, they’re coated with zinc-rich primer prior to powder-coating. Then comes the final baked-on powder coat application. The result is a durable, long-lasting finish that looks good and protects your investment. Chemical dipping or solvent-wiping are common powder coat prep processes, but only grit-blast prep earns the right to wear the TruckCraft logo.
The MAGNUM’s weight-saving aluminum subframe is another reason why TruckCraft inserts are a cut above other dump inserts on the market today. The extruded T6 alloy subframe has TruckCraft’s standard two-bolt installation system built in so there are no extra mounting clamps or holes in your truck bed required for mounting. Advantages of T6 are that it has the same tensile strength as steel, so it is half steel’s weight, but equal in strength, and is rust-free with no maintenance required. The T6 subframe is just one of the weight-saving components resulting in MAGNUM’s best-in-class 600 Lb. weight.
MAGNUM is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. All five pivot points (two dump hinges and three cylinder pivots) have premium lubed-for-life bushings installed so there is no “grease” maintenance needed. In fact, an occasional washing, checking the hydraulic fluid level twice a year, and inspecting daily for debris or damage is all the maintenance MAGNUM ever needs to be dependable and well-groomed.
