Knapheide KTM1 / KMT-11R 11' Crane Body
The Knapheide build is designed specifically around the needs of a mechanics truck, mobile service truck and crane truck. The invoice specifies an 11' KMT/KMS KMT1-11R crane body constructed with a 14-gauge, two-sided A-40 galvanized body shell.
The body includes:

Stellar Crane & Hydraulic Equipment
This isn't simply a service body with a small lift. The Knapheide invoice specifies a Stellar crane system, with upgrad to a Stellar 8630 crane in place of the 8621.
The crane package includes:
- Stellar 8630 crane upgrade 31' Reach!

- In-cab display
The invoice also details the crane configuration, including a 29-foot maximum horizontal reach,31' maximum vertical lift from the crane base, hydraulic operation, radio remote control and a 35-gallon hydraulic oil reservoir. Because the invoice separately notes the later 8630 upgrade, buyers should confirm the final crane-specific capacity chart with the dealership before relying on any particular lift rating.
Built-In 40 CFM Hydraulic Air Compressor
For a mobile mechanic, heavy-duty repair operation, equipment service company or field-service contractor, one of the biggest advantages of this truck is the integrated compressor package.
The Knapheide invoice includes a:
40 CFM @ 100 PSI reciprocating hydraulic air compressor
along with:
- 50' x 1/2" spring-retract air hose reel
- Rear-mounted roller fairlead
- FRL system
- Underbody air tank(s)
That combination makes this F-550 particularly well suited for mobile mechanics, heavy equipment repair, field service, construction equipment maintenance and roadside commercial service applications.
Professional Service-Body Storage
The KTM1 body is configured to carry the tools and equipment a working mechanic needs every day. The build includes multiple adjustable shelving configurations, a 7-drawer unit with extreme-duty drawer slides and drawer liners, dividers for the deep drawers, a bolt-bin storage unit and dedicated bottle storage.
