Truck and Van Upfitting in Michigan from Trusted Custom Vehicle Upfitters
Buying new equipment? Put it to work from day one. Royal Truck & Utility Trailer configures your new truck, van, or body for the job before it ever hits the road, with expert upfitting at six locations across Michigan.
One Upfitting Resource:
Van Shelving, Racks, Storage, and More from Leading Brands
Royal Truck & Utility Trailer is Michigan’s single source for configuring a new work vehicle, with the equipment lineup to prove it. Instead of piecing together products from different suppliers, you tell us what the vehicle needs to do, and we build it with the right solution from the brands we carry:
- Van shelving and storage. Holman (formerly Kargo Master) shelving, drawer systems, and van packages turn a bare cargo van into an organized, rolling workspace, with setups suited to contractors, electricians, plumbers, and service techs
- Ladder racks and cargo racks. Rack systems from Prime Design and Holman (formerly Kargo Master) that protect your ladders, your cargo, and your crew’s shoulders
- Truck boxes and tool storage. Weather Guard boxes and storage built to keep expensive tools secure on pickups and service trucks
- Partitions and interior accessories. Poly composite partitions, thermal lined wall kits, LED light packages, and cargo security systems that round out the build
- Refrigerated van insulation. Reefervan insulation kits that turn a cargo van into a temperature controlled hauler
The brands demonstrate the range. The fit is Royal’s job: tell your rep what trade you run and what the vehicle hauls, and we will spec the right combination the first time.
Truck Upfitting:
Bodies, Liftgates, and Equipment for the Job
Upfitting at Royal starts before the shelving goes in. Our team configures and installs the equipment your operation runs on:
- Dry freight bodies for delivery and distribution routes
- Reefer bodies for temperature sensitive freight
- Dump bodies for construction, landscaping, and municipal work
- Liftgates sized to your cargo and your dock situation
- Snow and ice products for Michigan winters
- Wet kits for hydraulic equipment
- Vehicle graphics from our in house graphics department
Buying the equipment and the upfit from one dealer means one point of contact, one timeline, and a vehicle that shows up ready, not a project waiting in your lot.
