IMT Adds Midsize Crane Body to Dominator Mechanics Truck Family
Garner, Iowa - Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) has taken some of the key features from their Dominator® mechanics trucks and added them to the DSC20 crane body in order to give the operator more comfort and mobility around the vehicle and to bring the truck into the Dominator family.
Some of the enhancements to the new Dominator DSC20 mechanics truck include a patented floor design, greater accessibility to tools, a single-handle latch on the tailgate, an enhanced shelf hanger bracket system, the addition of rain eaves, sidepacks designed for greater storage and improved visibility of rear LED taillights. And IMT made these enhancements because of the company's commitment to listening to customer needs.
"The people using these trucks every day have tough jobs and know exactly what they need to make their truck easier to use," said Tim Worman, product manager of commercial vehicles for IMT. "Customer input was critical to the enhancements we made to our other Dominator mechanics trucks, and we've now taken that same insight and applied it to the Dominator DSC20. The result is an ideal configuration for our customers who need to provide field service for smaller equipment."
The enhancements to the Dominator DSC20 started with a patented floor design to maintain the lightest-weight body in the market without sacrificing structural integrity. Additionally, the new design allows greater accessibility to tools, without losing any storage, by providing front vertical compartments with new single doors.
IMT also incorporated two new, patent-pending features into the Dominator DSC20 crane body: a single-handle latch on the tailgate with a three-point mechanism that reduces the amount of force required to open and close the latch, and an enhanced shelf hanger bracket system that enables quick adjustments of compartment shelves.
The Dominator DSC20 mechanics truck also features the addition of rain eaves on each side of the truck to divert water away from the tops of the compartment doors. Operators will also notice the improved visibility of rear LED taillights. The new service body also features sidepacks designed for greater storage by being 2 inches deeper.
The Dominator DSC20 mechanics truck is ideal for small to midsize equipment maintenance applications and is rated for a maximum of a 20,000 ft-lb (2.8 tm) crane. The truck can utilize IMT telescopic cranes up to the 2020 model, as well as the other cranes from the IMT line of electric telescopic cranes with lifting capacities from 2000 lb to 6000 lb. Operators can use the cranes to perform equipment maintenance in the field such as replacing or repairing hydraulic cylinders, track components, scraper blades, buckets, hydraulic pumps, engines and transmissions, just to name a few.
Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc., a subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation [NYSE: OSK], began in 1961 as a business providing new tread designs for recapping tires.
