Shyft Launches Tennessee Operations For Growing Service Body, Police Car Upfit and Accessory Businesses
Shyft Nashville Operation
Brings four Shyft brands together in fast-growing Nashville area to serve Southeastern U.S. market
Serves as regional distribution center for newest Royal XP Service Body launched at NTEA Work Truck Week
Includes upfit, mounting, fabrication, undercoat and painting services
NOVI, Mich., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shyft Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHYF), the North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing, assembly, and upfit for the commercial, retail, and service specialty vehicle markets, today announced a new service body operation in Lebanon, Tennessee, just east of Nashville. This new operation will serve truck dealers, distributors and fleet customers in surrounding states, including new chassis pools for expanded dealer sales and support.
The new, purpose-built 70,000-square-foot facility will serve as a sales branch as well as operations for upfit, mounting, fabrication, undercoat and paint services to Shyft's service body and accessory brands including Royal Truck Body, DuraMag, Magnum and police car upfit and light accessories from Strobes-R-Us.
"Outstanding synergies from our two service body brands located on opposite coasts along with accessory brands that provide truck headache racks and lighting packages have resulted in strong sales growth," said Daryl Adams, President and CEO, The Shyft Group. "Bringing them together to provide a one-stop work truck solution in the Nashville market, one of the fastest growing U.S. economies in a state that reaches 50 percent of the country's population within a 650-mile radius, will only further accelerate that growth."
Royal Truck Body's new steel XP Service Body to be distributed out of Nashville is precision engineered to eliminate water, salt and chemical traps and features a proprietary high-endurance coating system for a glossy and durable finish to seal out weather and wear. This unique coating formulation features a high-edge epoxy primer designed to provide an extra degree of corrosion resistance appropriate for heavy duty on- and off-highway equipment. The ultra-durable, scratch-resistant polyester topcoat also provides maximum gloss retention under sustained UV exposure.
Unlike the competition that tests their coatings using a constant salt spray, the new XP coating system has been validated through third-party cyclical corrosion testing that reflects the equivalent of five years of real-world usage in corrosion-prone environments. In addition, the XP body has successfully run durability testing on a proprietary impact-inducing shaker test rig and on the punishing proving grounds of a leading commercial testing facility equivalent to 250,000 miles loaded at full gross vehicle weight (GVW).
"We know that protecting the investment made in service vehicles is critical to our customers and salt on roads in the winter can be one of the biggest impediments," said Steve Guillaume, President, Specialty vehicles, The Shyft Group. "In side-by-side comparisons, the XP Service Body's high-endurance proprietary coating visually outperforms the competition in simulated real-world cyclical salt tests. This anti-corrosion strength combined with advanced UV and scratch resistance makes this coating a game changer for fleet protection."
This new XP Service Body comes fully loaded with an extensive complement of standard features including open top storage, internal hinges, factory-keyed locks as well as popular options such as ladder racks and an internal master lock security system. The XP Service Body is now available in 8- and 9-foot configurations with an 11-foot model coming later this year at Royal and DuraMag branches, including Nashville, as well as select dealers and distributors.
The DuraMag full portfolio of all aluminum premium service and truck bodies will also be offered and are built to endure with less maintenance, lighter weight for higher payloads, and reduced wear and tear. Magnum headache racks helps protect passengers, payload, and the pickup itself — and includes our new Commander Headache Rack with a Strobes-R-Us Work Ready Lighting Package.
"Our ability to provide the ultimate service body in aluminum or steel and customized with industry leading features, racks and accessory lighting to meet the needs of the crews using the work trucks day in and out is a strong advantage in the market," said Guillaume. "We are excited to bring this complete offering to Tennessee and the entire Southeastern region of the U.S."

Shyft納什維爾行動
將四個Shyft品牌在快速增長的納什維爾地區整合在一起,服務於美國東南部市場
作為NTEA工作卡車周推出的最新皇家XP服務機構的地區分銷中心
包括裝修、安裝、製造、底漆和油漆服務
密歇根州諾維,2023年3月14日(環球網)--納斯達克集團(Shyft Group,Inc.)今天宣佈,在納什維爾以東的田納西州黎巴嫩,該公司成立了一家新的服務機構。這一新業務將為周邊州的卡車經銷商、分銷商和車隊客戶提供服務,包括新的底盤池,以擴大經銷商的銷售和支持。
這個專門建造的佔地70,000平方米英尺的新工廠將作為一個銷售分支,並為夏夫特的服務車身和配件品牌提供裝修、安裝、製造、底漆和油漆服務,包括皇家卡車車身、DuraMag、Magnum和警車裝潢以及STROBES-R-US的輕型配件。
夏夫特集團首席執行官達裡爾·亞當斯、總裁表示:“我們位於海岸對岸的兩個服務實體品牌,以及提供卡車頭疼車架和照明元件的配件品牌,帶來了顯著的協同效應,導致了強勁的銷售增長。”納什維爾是美國經濟增長最快的州之一,方圓650英里的範圍內覆蓋了全國50%的人口,將他們聚集在一起,在納什維爾市場提供一站式工作卡車解決方案,只會進一步加速這種增長。
皇家貨車車身‘%s新鋼材XP服務正文將在納什維爾分發的是經過精密設計的,以消除水、鹽和化學陷阱,並具有專有的高耐久塗層系統,以獲得光澤和耐用的表面,以密封天氣和磨損。這種獨特的塗料配方採用了高端環氧底漆,旨在提供額外程度的耐腐蝕性,適用於重型駭維金屬加工設備。超耐用、耐刮擦的聚酯面漆還可在持續的紫外線照射下提供最大的光澤度保持。
與使用持續鹽霧測試塗層的競爭對手不同,新的XP塗層系統已通過第三方週期性腐蝕測試進行驗證,該測試相當於在易腐蝕環境中實際使用五年。此外,XP Body還成功地在專有的沖擊誘導振動器試驗臺和一家領先的商業測試設施的懲罰性試驗場上進行了耐久性測試,該試驗場在滿載車輛總重(GVW)時相當於250,000英里。
“我們知道,保護在服務車輛上的投資對我們的客戶至關重要,冬季道路上的鹽漬可能是最大的障礙之一,”夏夫特集團特種車輛部門的史蒂夫·紀堯姆(Steve Guillaume)表示。在並排比較中,XP Service Body的高耐力專有塗層在類比真實世界週期性鹽分測試中的視覺表現優於競爭對手。這種防腐強度與先進的紫外線和耐刮擦性能相結合,使這種塗層成為艦隊保護的遊戲規則改變者。
這款新的XP Service Body配備了大量的標準功能,包括開放式存儲、內部鉸鏈、出廠鑰匙鎖以及流行的選項,如梯子架和內部主鎖安全系統。XP Service Body現在有8英尺和9英尺的配置,11英尺的型號將於今年晚些時候在皇家和DuraMag的分支機構,包括納什維爾,以及部分經銷商和分銷商。
這個DuraMag還將提供全鋁優質服務和卡車車身的全系列產品組合,其經久耐用的維護更少,重量更輕,有效載荷更高,磨損更少。馬格南頭痛行李架有助於保護乘客、有效載荷和皮卡本身-包括我們的新指揮官頭痛行李架STROBES-R-USWork Ready照明元件。
紀堯姆表示:“我們能夠提供鋁制或鋼制的終極服務車身,並定製行業領先的功能、機架和配件照明,以滿足每天使用工作卡車進進出出的工作人員的需求,這是我們在市場上的強大優勢。”我們很高興能將這一完整的產品帶到田納西州和整個美國東南部地區。“
