Texarkana, TX — In 2026, Ledwell celebrates 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 proudly based in Texarkana, Texas, Ledwell continues to engineer innovative, American-made solutions for customers nationwide and beyond.
Custom Equipment for the Jobs That Matter
With a strong presence in rental fleets, farm operations, hauling, and service applications, Ledwell equipment is known for unmatched durability and smart engineering. Every piece is designed with the end user in mind. Whether it’s a Dump Truck clearing storm debris, a Feed Trailer delivering nutrients across rural America, or a Vacuum Truck supporting critical infrastructure, Ledwell builds equipment that holds up under pressure.
At the core of it all is the Ledwell Made Guarantee; our promise to deliver quality equipment, fast lead times, and long-term value, all backed by responsive service and support.
Rooted in Values. Driven by Purpose.
Ledwell’s success over the past 80 years is built on values that run deep. Quality is never negotiable. Every weld and detail is held to the highest standard because customers depend on equipment that won’t quit. Grit is part of our DNA. We don’t back down from tough jobs or unique challenges. We figure it out and get it done.
Our legacy is something we take seriously. This company was built with hard work and determination, and that same mindset drives every decision we make today. Above all, we treat people like family, whether it’s our employees, our customers, or our community. We do what’s right, we look out for each other, and we take pride in what we build together.
These values support our mission: manufacturing tough, innovative equipment that moves you forward.
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. Backed by teams who know the equipment inside and out. That combination of local control, speed, and craftsmanship ensures customers get exactly what they need – when they need it.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to what got us here: innovation grounded in practicality, customer service that never quits, and a belief that American manufacturing still builds the best. From a single shop to 91 acres across two facilities supporting agriculture, construction, rental, and logistics operations across the U.S., Ledwell’s story is a testament to what it means to get the job done right.
This year, we celebrate 80 years of hard work, progress, and partnership, with our sights set firmly on a century of American manufacturing.
