About Switch-N-Go

The Switch-N-Go^TM Detachable Truck Body System is manufactured by Deist Industries, formerly known as Bucks Fabricating. The Switch-N-Go is fully manufactured in the U.S. Our company has been in the detachable truck bed/body business since 1986. The Switch-N-Go system was introduced in 2002 and due to its unique nature, our company holds the patents on the components of the system.

The advantages of the Switch-N-Go Detachable Truck Body System:

• works the same as a dump truck
• lighter weight - adds only 500 lbs. more to the chassis weight than an ordinary dumping truck
• easy to install - designed to run w/ electrically powered hydraulics
• low loading angle - load a body as low as 25 degrees
• only half the cost of similar systems
• one truck - multiple truck beds

Works the same as a dump truck
The Switch-N-Go Detachable Truck Body System allows the user to dump a load in a uniform pile at 50 degrees. Other detachable systems like Holts' Mini-Roll-Off system or single pivot hooklift units do not allow this feature. When dumping a body with their system the body is drug on the ground until the load is out, which does not allow for a uniform pile. Most of  those units cannot achieve a dump angle greater than 40 degrees. When the body is on the Switch-N-Go System it will look and work the same as a dump body mounted to the chassis.

Light weight
The Switch-N-Go System adds only 500 pounds of extra weight above having a dump body on the chassis. Other systems can add as much as a ton to the chassis, greatly reducing the payload of the truck.

Lower cost
The Switch-N-Go System is the lowest cost system compared to all other detachable body systems and truck beds. By utilizing an electric winch and electric over hydraulic pump on our main systems, we have reduced the cost of installation by at least $2,000.00. This is the typical cost of a PTO, hydraulic pump and installation on a truck with an automatic transmission. Also, eliminating the need for a large hydraulic reservoir. For any of you that have looked at purchasing a hooklift 11,000 - 26,000 GVWR and the price tag set you back, the good news is we are about half the cost. The basic unit is approximately $3,000.00 more than installing a dump body on a chassis.

Easy to install
With the electric system installation is a breeze. If you purchase the units prewired, your installation time would be 3 to 4 hours. We have incorporated a steel sub-frame so that you set the unit on the chassis, attach the four sheer plates, run the power supply from the battery and then run the control pendant into the cab. Final items would be touching up the paint, and installing optional items like fenders and ICC bumper with lighting kit. We expect the total install time to be less than 16 hours.

Lower loading angle
The loading angle can be adjusted unlike some other systems. It can load a body as low as 25 degrees. This means that a skid steer can be loaded with an equipment platform without the loader moving (if you try this at least use a loose chain in case there is slippery substance on the deck).
