Ryder Rack Service Series for Knapheide Utility Bodies

The Service Series rack is engineered for utility bodies such as Knapheide and Reading, offering a fully welded structure made from marine-grade aluminum. It mounts securely to the top of the service body without interfering with the opening or function of the utility doors. The design supports ladders, conduit, pipe, and long materials while maintaining easy access to tools and equipment.

Each mounting point aligns with structural portions of the utility bed to deliver dependable support without adding unnecessary weight. The result is a professional-looking setup that holds up to heavy use.

Built for Everyday Contractor Demands

Contractors choose this configuration because it offers overhead carrying capacity while keeping every tool compartment easy to reach. The open-top design lets crews load materials from the side or rear without disrupting normal workflow. Whether the truck is used for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or general construction, the Service Series rack provides durable performance and low maintenance.
