At Torklift Central, we pride ourselves on being more than just an installation shop—we’re innovators. Our Retail Product Development Center (RPDC) is where we take customer needs and transform them into solutions. A perfect example is our latest upfit for the Valley Regional Fire Authority's 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD High Country.

Built for the Job: A Heavy-Duty Upfit

The Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) came to us with a straightforward request: enhance their Silverado 2500 HD with a robust tool and storage system, plus an aftermarket bumper and winch to ensure they are ready for any challenge in the field. The Torklift Central RPDC team delivered with a customized solution that maximizes functionality without compromising the truck’s power and performance.

Secure Storage with Black Diamond-Plate Toolboxes

For essential gear storage, we installed toolboxes in the truck bed. These aren’t your average toolboxes—our team ensured they were: 

  • Secure: Heavy-duty locking mechanisms to keep tools safe. 
  • Durable: Powder-coated, diamond-plate construction to ensure long-lasting performance. 
  • Accessible: Multiple access point to allow for quick, easy retrieval of gear.

To further enhance the truck’s utility, we mounted a Thule crossbar system, providing a versatile over-bed storage rack for ladders, equipment, or additional cargo.

Warn Ascent HD Bumper & 12,000 lb Winch: Ultimate Front-End Protection

When it comes to safety and capability, VRFA needed a front-end solution that could handle the toughest rescue and recovery tasks. Our team installed a Warn Ascent HD bumper, built to withstand heavy-duty use, and paired it with a Warn 12,000 lb winch for maximum pulling power. This setup ensures the truck can assist in extractions, clear obstacles, and handle off-road terrain with ease.

Warn Ascent HD Bumper: Heavy-duty steel construction, integrated recovery points, and a sleek black powder-coated finish for durability. Warn 12,000 lb Winch: Synthetic rope for high-strength, lightweight performance with a reliable remote-controlled operation. Enhanced Utility: Pre-cut light mounting points and D-ring recovery shackle locations.
