Why Dealers Supply Chose the Western Star 47X
Inside the Western Star 47X cab, the winged dash keeps key controls within easy reach. This operator-focused design helps make day-to-day boom truck operation more intuitive as Dealers Supply moves between delivery locations and jobsites.
Urban roofing delivery often means working in neighborhoods and jobsites where space is limited. The Western Star 47X gives Dealers Supply the maneuverability needed to navigate tight streets, access challenging delivery locations and position their boom truck where it needs to be for the job.
Once the truck is in position, the work continues. The Western Star 47X boom truck provides the engine power used to support boom operations, helping Dealers Supply move roofing materials from the truck to where crews need them on the jobsite. It is another example of how the right vocational truck spec can support the demands of a real-world roofing delivery application.
