Runnion Equipment Co. is growing its product line by expanding its Knapheide body offerings.

Runnion Equipment has been utilizing Knapheide bodies for its National Crane boom trucks and Palfinger knucklebooms for many years, according to the company. With a facility expansion, it can now expand into the sales and upfitting of service/utility bodies and dump bodies supplied by Knapheide, Runnion says.

“This is an exciting opportunity for us. Knapheide is a first-class, family-owned company with an outstanding product line,” says Michael Prochot, president of Runnion Equipment. “Our intent when building our new facility was to give us space to stretch by utilizing the skills we have honed over the years in servicing and mounting truck-mounted cranes as a stepping stone to other upfitting markets. We are very pleased that Knapheide is giving us this opportunity to represent them as a full-line dealer.”

Knapheide is a manufacturer of truck bodies and truck beds, and provides service/utility bodies, platform bodies, gooseneck bodies and dump bodies.
