What is Vehicle Upfitting?
When you lease or purchase a vehicle for your business, upfitting is often the next step in preparing your fleet to do the work that is specific to your industry. But what is vehicle upfitting? Simply, vehicle upfitting is when you make modifications to your van or truck in order to customize the way it works. Upfitting can include a wide range of modifications, such as adding bulkheads, storage compartments, racks, ramps, partitions, towing capability and even changes to the vehicle’s suspension and chassis. Customizing your truck or van to suit your needs will make your day-to-day more efficient, your employees’ jobs easier and help improve your bottom line - and Quest Automotive Leasing is here to help!
Your Industry. Your Vehicle. Your Way.
For many industries that require specialized equipment, vehicle upfitting is essential to running your business. Quest Auto has helped thousands of local businesses with the necessary modifications to their trucks and vans, and there is no limit to what we can do:
• Landscaping. We’ve helped landscapers across the GTA install sliding tailgate ramps for ride-on lawn mowers, custom organization for tools, systems for rolling out and fastening tarps to cover mulch and yard waste, and much more.
• Snow Removal. Businesses in the snow removal industry work tirelessly all winter long. We can help upfit your truck with plows, salters, storage for shovels, dependable snow tires and interior comforts like heated seats to keep your drivers comfortable during long nights spent plowing our messy Toronto streets.
• HVAC. HVAC van upfitting typically includes installing fasteners for securing large pieces of equipment like air conditioners and water heaters, adding shelving and bins for supplies and specialized racks for holding potentially combustible tanks.
• Pool Maintenance and Construction. Pool maintenance often requires drivers to carry a range of chemicals on board. Quest Automotive can help you add sturdy cabinets and shelving to your van for storing chemicals, plus organization systems for hoses, ladders and other equipment.
• Glaziers. For those working with large sheets of glass and mirror, we can help install specialized glass racks, partitions for driver safety, ladder shelving, tool storage and more.
