“KUV” Steel Service Utility Vans
KUV Steel Service Utility Vans create optimized organization for the technician, dividing the storage space into manageable compartments that are externally accessible from either side of the body. The technician pulls up to the jobsite, exits the cab and immediately has quick access to the tools and parts they need without having to crawl into the cargo area. More contractors and technicians utilizing an enclosed utility body as their work vehicle choose a Knapheide KUV. Say goodbye to crawling around in the back of your cargo van endlessly searching for tools, parts and equipment. Invest in a KUV and get more billable hours out of your day.
The style and function of a KUV, designed for a cab chassis: the KUVcc is built to get the job done.
Cargo Area With Cab Access Door

E-Coat Immersion
Knapheide Bodies are fully immersed in Knapheide’s 12-step, electrodeposition prime paint system for superior corrosion resistance.
Body Shell
Rugged 14-gauge, two-sided A-40 galvanneal steel body shell with a six year warranty. Complete undercoating provides an additional layer of corrosion protection.
External Compartments
The size of compartments is influenced by the cab-to-axle length of the vehicle chassis or cutaway and the body height you plan to choose. Consult our specifications table for further guidance. Front vertical compartments have two shelves while full height rear vertical and curb side horizontal compartments have one shelf. Each adjustable shelf is rated to hold 250-lbs. with removable dividers every 4-inches.
Door Design
All compartment doors utilize pry-proof continuous hinges, weather protecting neoprene door seals, adjustable security ring striker for tighter closing, and spring or strut retainers to prevent involuntary door swing. Steel models are constructed of double-shell 20-guage, two-sided A-40 galvanneal steel while aluminum models are made from 6061 T6 and 5052 military grade aluminum.

Active Brake Assist
Keeping a lookout for you. Active Brake Assist can warn you of oncoming danger and brake for you. It’s the only system that can recognize and brake for pedestrians.
Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary or suddenly moving objects or pedestrians, may not react in certain situations where objects cannot be clearly identified, nor does it recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles and pedestrians ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Blind Spot Assist
See around your blind spot. Radar sensors detect approaching vehicles in your blind spot and alert you, keeping you safer. And Rear Cross-Traffic Alert lets you know when a vehicle or pedestrian is crossing behind you.
Available in Drive Assist Package
Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only, and may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Attention Assist
Stay awake on the road. Attention Assist monitors your driving patterns for signs of fatigue and gives you an early warning to make sure you’re not driving drowsy.
Available in Driver Convenience Package
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
360-Degree Camera
Simpler, safer. Maneuver and park with total confidence when you have a 360-degree view from our camera.
360 camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the cameras.
