Why Choose CM SBC Reinforced Crane Bodies

The All-In-One Crane Body Solution

CM’s SBC Reinforced Crane Body integrates the best features of a service body with structural reinforcement engineered specifically for crane applications. It’s designed so that once a dealer or customer chooses it, they won’t need to second-guess the fit, strength, or compatibility.
The SBC body is “crane ready,” with provisions for up to 3,200 lb and 4,000 lb cranes from trusted manufacturers like Tiger and Auto Crane.

Built Tough from the Ground Up

Every SBC unit is built with rugged materials and smart engineering to stand up to real work environments:

• Deck Material: 12-gauge galvanneal steel with a spray-on bed liner for corrosion resistance and durability

• Frame & Crossmembers: Uses A500 structural tubing (2" × 6" for 110" length; 3" × 6" for 134" lengths) to provide rigidity and load support

• Multi-panel reinforced doors: Doors are built in panels with internal bracing to resist flexing and sagging over time

• Weather Sealing: Automotive D-bulb weatherstripping along with tight latches help keep moisture and dirt out of tool compartments

• Heavy Tailgate: Rated over 400 lb to handle materials being loaded/unloaded into the deck without failing

• Gas-cylinder door holders: Instead of basic springs, CM uses gas shocks so compartment doors open smoothly and stay open when in use

Warranty & Finish That Instill Confidence

CM backs the SBC body with a 4-year / 48,000-mile warranty, one of the strongest warranty offerings in the work truck industry.
They also apply a 2-stage wet coat finish using low-VOC acrylic polyurethane paint, covering every nook, exterior and interior, for long-term protection and appearance retention.

Designed for Practical Use & Seamless Upfitting

The SBC is designed not just to survive wear and tear, but to thrive in the field:

• Integrated toolboxes / compartments with ergonomic T-handle compression latches secure tools and keep them dry.

• Tie-down points & swivel loops: Depending on length, models include 4 or 6 tie-down loops rated for heavy usage

• Work bumper with outriggers & 24k lb receiver hitch options to deliver extra functionality in the field

• Flexible crane options built in: CM offers selectable crane integrations so customers can choose the lifting capacity they need without extra structural retrofits.

Built for Many Use Cases

CM positions the SBC as especially suitable for those in construction, utilities, mechanical service, and other vocations where lifting and heavy tool use is routine. The crane-ready structure means a user doesn’t have to sacrifice service-body features just to accommodate lifting equipment.
