The Rugged American Contractor Body is employed primarily by the construction industry. It is commonly used for transporting a combination of tools and equipment, as well as bulk materials such as sand, gravel and cement mixture. Add a hoist to the Rugged American Contractor Body and it becomes a dumping bed. This product is usually equipped with a rear hitch for towing standard trailers, and sometimes with a bed-mounted hitch for towing gooseneck trailers
