Reading Truck, a business unit of J. B. Poindexter & Co., will showcase two work truck models at Work Truck Week 2026.
Reading Truck's new combo body combines the secure storage of a service body with the open utility of a platform body in one solution, according to Reading.
In addition, the company has added two new products to its RHD lineup. The all-new RHD-46 and RHD-67 combine heavy-duty construction for the toughest environments, plus smart configurability. Two crane bodies also will be showcased, including the RM-25 and RM-45, featuring durable, versatile solutions built for reliable lifting performance and every day jobsite demands.
"Designed and built in America, these new Reading Truck bodies deliver the advanced performance that fleet- and owner-operators seek, including elevated productivity, enhanced user experience and flexibility," said Todd Stoner, vice president of sales and marketing, Reading Truck. "Engineered with form and function in mind, bodies can be upfitted to suit the needs of a variety of specific vocational situations."
Reading Truck supports customers with 22 Reading Truck centers and a partner distribution network across the United States and Canada.
The Reading combo body features a rear platform that adds workspace and hauling capability, while secure compartments and available rack solutions (ordered separately) help keep tools and materials organized.
The Reading combo body includes:
• Easy access to rear platform: Swing-out rear rails and drop-down side rails support quick, efficient access to the rear platform.
• 16-in. movable steel tailboard with dual channels provides added versatility for loading, securing cargo and job site use.
• Heavy-duty double-panel compartment doors, engineered with 12-gauge A40 galvannealed steel for both outer and inner panels, provide durability.
• Stainless steel rotary paddle locks. Locks and handles include a pry-resistant design with double-bitted keys.
• Aluma-Fill Cup (all aluminum dish) around the fuel cap protects the body from accidental nicks and scratches during refueling.
• Seamless wheelhouse panel avoids exposure to dirt, moisture and corrosive materials.
The all-new Reading RHD-46 and RHD-67 heavy duty service bodies are built for work that demands more from work trucks. Reengineered from the ground up for heavy-duty applications that call for strength, durability and capability, the new RHD lineup combines reinforced torsion box construction with deep, organized compartments and work-ready features built to perform in demanding environments, according to Reading.
Whether supporting construction crews, utility teams, government fleets or field service operations, the RHD is engineered to handle tough workloads and backed by Reading Truck craftsmanship and a national upfit network. Features include:
• The RHD-46 is available in 9-ft. and 11-ft. truck bodies and utilizes an 8-in. torsion box for Class 4 to 6 work.
• The RHD-67 is available in 11-ft. and 14-ft. bodies and incorporates a 10-in. torsion box to support heavier Class 6 to 7 requirements.
• Standard rear strobe lights connected to upfitter switches in the cab protect crew with the flip of a switch.
• Structural tow hitches rated from 20,000 to 30,000 lbs. (depending on model).
• Body features a 50-in. floor width and 22-in. deep compartments.
• Red LED stop/tail/turn/reverse and amber LED strobe lights, with water-resistant housings.
• Dual-Pro door seal system channels water away from storage compartments.
