We
confess. Our truck bodies are terrific looking. They have unusually good
curb appeal! Why? Because we pay enormous attention to detail. It’s
firmly rooted in our DNA to make sure that our paint finishes are and
welds are without flaws and show no burn marks…even on our stainless
steel lids. The curve of the taper in our rack legs matches the curve in
truck roof line (called tumblehome). The wheel panel and body height
match the truck frame height so precisely that you can’t look through
the wheel well and see light from the other side of the body. In fact,
customers describe Harbor as “Building Beautiful Bodies”.
But, in
some respects, our California curb appeal belies an underlying quality.
In the only quality survey ever in our industry history, Harbor ranked
number one (#1) in manufacturing quality and quality processes.* Maybe
that’s why Harbor consistently ranks among the top volume commercial
“pool” manufacturers for Ford, GM and Ram…and was ranked #1 in several
years. Or why Harbor was chosen over all other US manufacturers to
export US-made commercial truck bodies to the Toyota Motor Company for
use by its Forklift Dealers in Japan.
About
Harbor, some competitors in our industry might claim, “Beauty’s only
skin deep” or “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We prefer, “A Picture Paints a Thousand Words.” That’s why it’s not a Harbor until we say it’s a Harbor…accomplished through blood, sweat and sheet metal.
