Take your fleet from functional to fully optimized! All kinds of companies can benefit from smart vehicle upfitting. LCM Fleet works with all kinds of companies, like delivery services, construction, mobile repair and more. Our experts can help your business customize your fleet vehicles for maximum efficiency and safety. Here’s what to prioritize when planning your next upfit.
1. Organization tools that save time
Upfitting your fleet with shelving, bins, racks, and dividers allows your team to stay organized and reduce time spent searching for tools or materials. Every minute saved on the job site adds up, especially when multiplied across your entire fleet. Custom storage also reduces the risk of damaged goods or misplaced parts.
LCM Fleet works closely with our partner company, Commercial Van Solutions, to install custom van shelving and organization from trusted vendors, including Ranger Design and Holman. Upfitting costs can be worked into your lease payments, saving on upfront costs.
2. Safety features for your crew and cargo
Installing safety partitions, non-slip flooring, lighting enhancements, and rearview cameras can protect both your drivers and the cargo they carry. These best-practice safety features can reduce liability, improve insurance outcomes, and increase your team’s confidence on the road.
For fleet managers, incorporating these safety measures also helps maintain compliance with DOT and OSHA regulations, especially for specialized industries.
3. Branding that turns your fleet into a rolling billboard
Vehicle wraps and decals give your fleet a professional look while promoting your business everywhere your team goes. It’s one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising, with the added benefit of building brand trust and recognition in your community.
At LCM Fleet, we help businesses design and apply branded graphics as part of their upfitting process—ensuring your vehicles are not just ready to work, but ready to stand out. We can do that!
4. Tech integrations that boost efficiency
Fleet vehicles have evolved from simple transportation to important mobile workspaces. Consider integrating GPS tracking, telematics, and route optimization tools into your upfit, which can help reduce fuel costs, monitor driver behavior, and improve delivery times.
Many systems can also automate maintenance alerts and diagnostics, allowing your company and the LCM Fleet team to address issues before they become costly repairs. Upfitting with cutting-edge technology in mind gives your business a competitive edge.
5. Upfitting tailored to your industry
Every industry has unique vehicle needs. A contractor may require heavy-duty shelving and tool racks, while a food delivery service might need temperature-controlled storage or quick-access cargo areas. Custom upfitting for mobile medical units, locksmiths, utility companies, and more: each has specific workflows that benefit from purpose-built upfits.
LCM Fleet works with clients across industries to design and install solutions that meet those real-world demands. The result is a safer, more productive fleet built specifically for how your team works.
