WORK TRUCKS FOR KEYPORT
Keyport is an old Raritan Bay port town with a compact downtown of restaurants and antique shops along Front Street and Broad Street, a public marina and waterfront park, and older neighborhoods climbing away from the water. It sits right where Route 35 and Route 36 meet near the Parkway, and contractors, restaurants and marine businesses keep a good number of work trucks moving through it.
About 10.5 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~16 min drive)
Down in Shrewsbury, Schwartz Truck Center's lot at 585 Shrewsbury Ave is 20 to 25 minutes from Keyport. With the Parkway close by, Keyport owners can get down, compare trucks and get back without much trouble.
WHO RUNS TRUCKS IN KEYPORT
Downtown restaurants and shops need regular deliveries. Contractors renovating the borough's older homes need dumps and stake bodies. Marine businesses around the harbor need flatbeds for docks, moorings and boat equipment.
Keyport's harbor and the waterfront along Raritan Bay support marina operators, boat mechanics, mooring services and dock builders. Their trucks often tow trailers and carry long, heavy material, so a flatbed or stake body on a Class 5 to 7 chassis with a proper hitch is a common setup. The sales team can help confirm towing and payload ratings for the work you have in mind.
- Box trucks for food service and retail supply
- Flatbeds and stake bodies for marine and building work
- Landscape and renovation dumps
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM KEYPORT
Get on the Garden State Parkway at Exit 117 and head south to Exit 109, then follow Newman Springs Road to Shrewsbury Avenue. Route 35 south through Hazlet, Middletown and Red Bank is the toll-free route but takes longer. Allow 20 to 25 minutes by Parkway.
TRUCKS FOR AN OLD WATERFRONT DOWNTOWN
Keyport's downtown streets were laid out long before box trucks. A cabover with good curb visibility and a short overall length makes deliveries on Front Street easier. Hino and Fuso cabovers are designed for that kind of urban work, and the used lot often has box trucks on similar chassis.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR KEYPORT OPERATORS
The Shrewsbury service department works on most light and medium-duty commercial trucks, and the parts counter can source routine wear items and body parts. Trucks that spend time near the bay should have their brakes and undercarriage checked regularly for corrosion.
