RAISING THE STANDARD

08-20-2025 | Issue 14

COMPACT BODY. UNIQUE STORAGE.

MEET THE STI 1540

1540 Body

When it comes to service bodies, smart storage is always top of mind. That’s why Service Trucks International designed the 1540 crane body with a feature that sets it apart: a full transverse compartment tucked just behind the cab.


The tunnel-like cabinet, accessible from both sides of the truck, pumps up the storage from 15" to 75" to accommodate larger tools and accessories. There’s space for two 28-inch drawer packs set back-to-back, creating an impressive 68.5 cubic feet of organized storage. The transverse cabinet can also accommodates the mounting of an air compressor.


The 1540 body is compatible with the 2081E Tiger Crane, a compact electric crane with a 2,000-lb lift capacity.

Compact Body, Big Capability


While storage is the 1540’s standout feature, the rest of the body is no less impressive. Built specifically for a 10.5k GVWR single rear wheel chassis, the 1540 is the smallest and lightest-duty crane body in STI’s lineup. Yet, it’s engineered with the same rugged construction as its bigger brothers. [READ MORE]

MONEY RAISED FOR PARTNERS FOR PATRIOTS


Giving back is core to who we are at STI. When we can help our veterans, we don’t hesitate. When you get to dunk your supervisor too, employees are anxious to participate! Recently, we had our summer FUN-draiser – a Dunk Tank Day event that raised over $1200 for Partners for Patriots, a charity that helps train service dogs for disabled veterans. Check out our Facebook post for more from the event.
