Switch-n-Go Bodies


Hi everyone,

Just joined the site and hoped to get a few opinions on my planned end of the year purchase:

Switch-n-Go body system on a used Mitsubishi FH 211 chassis (53K miles) 6cyl turbo with Allison auto.
19,000 GVW total cost: $42,000

Being a full service building company we do most of our own tight site work and landscaping. Until now we have made due with a Bri-Mar dump trailer for const. debris, stone, sand etc. It's becoming more of a pain in the a@@ moving equipment (we have a 5T trailer) and waste material in less moves. Let's not even talk about the cost of fuel.

I currently have a GMC 2500HD with the 8.0L / Allison combo and have been pleased with the towing power.

I think the switch & go system would be a wise move. It would solve our problems with:
  • Refuse containers
    On truck dump body
    Site storage box
Your thoughts on the S&G system, Chassis or just in general are appreciated.

Thanks ...and have a nice holiday
