Platform gooseneck truck bodies redesigned

Knapheide unveiled the new PGT (platform gooseneck truck) series, a redesign of the PGN series to now incorporate B&W’s Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Knapheide reengineered the platform lineup with these improvements: incorporated B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch with 30,000-pound rating; depth of flip-top compartments was increased to provide over 50 percent more storage space, and compartments feature an exterior release latch; includes Knapheide rear S/T/T and B/U lights with integrated strobes; bolt-on rear receiver hitch (which must be ordered separately). In addition, the truck comes with the choice of an 18K or 21K hitch based on the customer’s needs. A 7-in. rear step allows for easy access into the cargo area, according to Knapheide. The PGT series has been in development since the first prototype 3D model was created in August 2019.
