Ledwell is celebrating 80 years of building tough, dependable equipment for the industries that keep America moving. From equipment rental and transportation to agriculture and feed delivery, Ledwell has become a trusted name across sectors that rely on hardworking machines built to last.

What began in 1946 as a small operation building livestock racks has grown into one of the country’s leading custom truck body and trailer manufacturers. Still family-owned and based in Texarkana, Texas, Ledwell continues to engineer American-made solutions for customers nationwide.

Custom Equipment for the Jobs That Matter

At the core of it all is the Ledwell Made Guarantee; our promise to deliver quality equipment, fast lead times, and long-term value, backed by responsive service and support.

Built in America. Backed by Experience.

Ledwell fabricates over 85% of parts in-house and offers some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Every product is manufactured in Texas using American steel and backed by teams who know the equipment inside and out. As we look to the future, we remain committed to innovation, customer service, and the belief that American manufacturing still builds the best.

From one small shop to two full facilities in Texas and North Carolina, now spread across 91 acres that support operations throughout the United States, Ledwell’s journey proves what it means to get the job done right.

This year, we celebrate 80 years of hard work and progress, with our sights set firmly on a century of American manufacturing.
