TRUCKS FOR ISLAND HEIGHTS, NJ TRADES
Island Heights is a small borough on the Toms River with a historic cottage district, a waterfront and a quiet street grid. It has little commercial space of its own, so the businesses connected to it, from builders to boat services, travel in and out each day.
About 26.8 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~40 min drive)
Those operators are the audience for Schwartz Truck Center, at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. The dealership is factory-authorized for Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso, and it carries new trucks, used box trucks, dumps, flatbeds and service bodies, plus a service department and parts counter.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN ISLAND HEIGHTS
Older homes need constant upkeep, which makes restoration carpenters, painters, roofers and plumbers the most common local operators. Landscapers and tree companies also work in the borough, as do marine contractors who maintain docks and bulkheads along the river.
- Service-body trucks for carpentry and restoration work
- Flatbeds and dump trucks for marine and landscape jobs
- Box trucks for supply deliveries
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM ISLAND HEIGHTS
From Island Heights, take local roads into Toms River, then connect to the Garden State Parkway north. Continue to Exit 109 and follow signs for Shrewsbury Avenue. Plan on 50 to 70 minutes depending on traffic.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR ISLAND HEIGHTS OPERATORS
Smaller fleets usually want one place for both repairs and parts. The service department can work on most light and medium-duty truck makes, and the parts counter is open on the same property for Hino and Fuso parts.
RESTORATION WORK AND SMALL-LOT ACCESS
Island Heights has a historic cottage district of small lots and close-set homes, where bringing in materials means navigating narrow lanes. Restoration carpenters and painters value a compact service body with ladder racks and tool storage, and moving crews working on cottages do better with a 14- to 16-foot box truck than a large one.
Marine contractors on the river often carry pilings, lumber and bulkhead materials on a flatbed or stake body. A truck with a lower deck height makes loading easier by hand, which is a useful detail for a small crew.
