VT Hackney Inc. introduced Sidekick, a low-profile, four-bay side-load body mounted on a Ford Transit cab and chassis. It offers many of the same features as Hackney's larger beverage units, including all-aluminum construction, adjustable bay shelving, a bottom rail power step and rear-mounted hand truck, the company says. Compatible with the Ford Transit 9,950 and 10,360 gross vehicle weight (GVW) cab-and-chassis vans in gas or diesel versions, the SideKick can provide more than 4,000 pounds of payload, it adds. Roughly the same size as a cargo van, the SideKick locates product lower to the ground and can be loaded with pallets via a forklift. Side-door access provides quick retrieval of product and additional convenience when having to maneuver through alleys or congested areas, the company says.
