Established in 1982, Wooster-based ARBORTECH manufactures forestry chip bodies and specialized truck bodies for arborists and tree-care crews. The company helped pioneer galvanneal-steel construction and interior support ribbing, giving its smooth-sided bodies a durable finish that also serves as a clean canvas for company branding. Its lineup includes fixed-roof bodies, the one-person-operated SKYBOX retractable-roof system, and compact urban aerial bodies, backed by a three-year limited warranty and replacement-parts support.
