The HiVol® Difference
The PHIL HiVol Body will significantly exceed the standard OEM body payload capacity to give you more production per hour. And, it does this without exceeding your truck's maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). Here is a comparison of a typical 240 ton class truck hauling material weighing 1685 lbs per cubic yard:

The above comparison shows that trucks equipped with the standard OEM body are half empty on every cycle. Even using sideboards and ducktail extensions cannot surpass the payload capacity of the PHIL HiVol Body.
