Niece Equipment

What Niece Equipment does

Niece Equipment is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of custom-built heavy-duty water trucks, fuel trucks, and fuel & lube trucks, operating from a 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Buda, Texas, with additional sales/operations in Fort Worth, TX and a regional entity (Niece Products of Kansas Inc.) in Fort Scott, KS. The company designs, fabricates, and assembles tank bodies and integrated fluid-handling systems (proprietary surge-reversal baffles, accelerator vent systems, hydraulic spray systems, fuel pumping, and waste oil collection) for on-highway and off-road chassis, with tank capacities ranging from 2,000 to 45,000 gallons across its NWT, NFT, NFL, and NSF product series. It also offers a portable water tower (NPT12000), dealer-installable tank kits, a rental fleet, and an OEM parts storefront.

The business model combines direct-to-customer sales (via phone hotlines, quote request forms, and credit applications) with a dealer channel for tank kits and an online parts e-commerce store, monetizing the installed base through aftermarket components. Niece serves industrial end markets — construction, mining, quarrying, forestry, municipal/government, agriculture, and emergency response — that require on-site dust control, water delivery, fueling, and equipment lubrication. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue streams include custom truck sales (hardware), parts sales (hardware), and equipment rental (managed service). The company positions itself as an industry standard in water truck quality, durability, and reliability, with American-made components and customizable configurations as core value propositions.
