Built for Professional Field Service
The Falcon Steel GMB56 Series isn’t just a 56CA mechanics body — it’s a purpose-built crane body system engineered for organized storage, reinforced lifting, and long-term durability.
Whether you select the maneuverable Pro 1 SRW or the expanded-capacity Pro 1 DRW, the GMB56 platform delivers:
- 56CA-optimized weight balance
- 10,000 ft.-lb. crane rating
- 3,500 lb lifting capacity
- Reinforced steel construction
- Integrated lighting and secure storage
If you’re searching for a 56CA crane body, steel mechanics body for 56CA chassis, or a 3,500 lb crane-rated service body, the Falcon Steel GMB56 Series is engineered to perform.
Falcon Pro 1 SRW (Single Rear Wheel)
The Falcon Pro 1 SRW (Single Rear Wheel) is designed for operators who
prioritize maneuverability, lighter chassis weight, and tighter jobsite
access. With a narrower 77.5″ body width and 14″ compartment depth, it’s
ideal for fleets working in urban environments or service applications
where agility and fuel efficiency matter.
Falcon Pro 1 DRW (Dual Rear Wheel)
The Falcon Pro 1 DRW (Dual Rear Wheel) is built for increased stability and
payload support. Featuring a wider 97.5″ body and deeper 20″ compartments,
the DRW configuration provides greater storage capacity and improved
balance under load — making it the better choice for heavier crane use,
larger tool inventories, and higher GVWR chassis.
In short: choose SRW for maneuverability and lighter-duty
service, and DRW for stability, storage capacity, and heavier field
applications.
