Your truck body is more than just storage—it’s a mobile toolbox filled with your most valuable assets. When equipment thefts cost contractors and fleets millions each year, having a work truck body that prioritizes security isn’t an option—it’s a necessity. At STAHL, we’ve layered proven, heavy-duty security measures into every design so you can focus on the job, not worrying whether your gear will be there tomorrow.
1. Lock-Bolt Panel Assembly
Traditional welds can be pried open or corroded over time, exposing vulnerable edges. STAHL’s exclusive lock-bolt construction mechanically tensions panels together, creating a seam so tight and rigid that it resists bending, prying, and wear. These seams keep doors square and latches aligned, ensuring that every compartment stays locked—and stays locked under real-world abuse.
2. One-Key Master Lock System
Juggling multiple keys for different compartments slows you down and increases the risk of lost keys. Our master-lock system lets you secure every door, drawer, and hatch with a single key. Need it even more secure? Optional keyed-alike cylinders let you match your truck’s ignition key, so there’s truly only one key to carry and potentially lose.
3. Flush-Mount Paddle Latches & Hidden Hinges
Exposed latches and hinges give thieves easy leverage. STAHL’s flush-mount paddle latches sit snug in the panel, eliminating pry points, while our hidden hinge design keeps pivot points tucked inside the body. This streamlined approach not only looks clean but also denies would-be thieves the handholds they need to break in.
4. Reinforced Door & Panel Construction
Every door is built on a reinforced tubular frame, double-panel steel, and automotive-grade weather seals. That means even if someone manages to tamper with a latch, they still face a thick barrier and tight seal before they can reach your tools. It also keeps out moisture and dust—so you’re protected on both security and durability fronts.
5. Optional Alarm & Integration Features
For the ultimate in protection, STAHL bodies can be factory-prepared for alarm integration with your vehicle’s security system or third-party alarm modules. Motion sensors, door-open alerts, and remote notifications ensure you know immediately if someone’s messing with your gear—even when you’re off-site.
