Heritage Truck Equipment

What Heritage Truck Equipment does

Heritage Truck Equipment, Inc. is a privately held, custom heavy-equipment manufacturer founded in 2000 and domiciled in Hartville, Ohio (with an additional service facility in Perkasie, Pennsylvania). The company designs and builds steel and aluminum dump truck bodies and rolloff cable hoists for dump truck operators across construction, demolition, waste, and asphalt-hauling applications, positioning itself as one of the country's largest dump body manufacturers. Engineering and production use SolidWorks 3D CAD with Finite Element Analysis, ProNest CAD/CAM nesting software, and CNC cutting and forming equipment, with proprietary construction techniques including a crossmemberless floor and smooth-side steel body design (using Hardox AR-450 wear-resistant steel) and aluminum bodies built from 5083, 5454, and 6061-T6 alloys. The product portfolio comprises three lines: Model SP/HD steel dump bodies, Model MH/SS aluminum dump bodies, and 60,000 lb / 75,000 lb Heritage Roll Off Cable Hoists, all built to customer specifications in 9–24 ft configurations.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom hardware sales (dump bodies and rolloff hoists) priced on a quote basis tied to specifications, materials, and capacity, with a secondary aftermarket stream for parts, service, and warranty handled through a dedicated Customer Service department. Go-to-market is a consultative, direct enterprise field-sales motion run by a named sales team (Eric Bontrager, Al Brine, Pete Jaslowski) targeting commercial dump truck operators, supplemented by NTEA membership, video content, a photo gallery, and a resource library. The company sources componentry from a curated supplier ecosystem including SSAB (Hardox), Hendrickson, Watson & Chalin, Hyva, Binotto, Aero Industries, Mountain Tarp, Muncie, Parker Chelsea, Permco, Buyers Products, Custom Hoists, and Mailhot. There is no disclosed revenue, no funding history, no parent company, and no public listing; the entity operates as an independent, founder-led Ohio corporation with 51-100 employees.

Broad incumbents

• The Heil Company: Heil is a major US manufacturer of refuse, recycling, and dump truck bodies (now part of Dover Environmental Solutions Group). It is a broad incumbent competing with Heritage in the dump body category with greater scale, broader product lines, and a national dealer network.

Direct peers

• Reading Truck Body: Reading Truck Body manufactures commercial truck bodies including dump bodies, service bodies, and platforms. It is a direct peer to Heritage in the custom work truck body category with a multi-region US footprint and overlapping customer base in construction and vocational fleets.
• Crysteel Manufacturing: Crysteel is a US manufacturer of dump truck bodies, hoists, and truck equipment. It directly competes with Heritage across steel and aluminum dump bodies and hoist systems for construction and hauling applications.
• Galion (dump body division): Galion manufactures dump bodies, gravel boxes, and related truck equipment. It competes head-to-head with Heritage in the steel dump body market serving construction and aggregate-hauling customers.
• J.G.J. Truck Bodies & Trailers: J.G.J. is a custom manufacturer of dump truck bodies, roll-off systems, and trailers serving construction and waste hauling markets. It is a comparable custom B2B manufacturer competing in similar geographies and product categories as Heritage.

Emerging players

• Switch-N-Go: Switch-N-Go manufactures interchangeable truck body systems that allow one truck chassis to swap between dump, flatbed, and utility bodies. It is an emerging alternative to dedicated dump bodies that could compete with Heritage for fleet capex dollars.
• BrandFX Body Company: BrandFX manufactures composite (fiberglass) truck bodies, including lightweight dump and utility bodies. It is an emerging alternative to Heritage's steel and aluminum offerings, competing on payload-maximizing lightweight design.

Others

• Tommy Gate: Tommy Gate manufactures liftgates and loading systems for commercial trucks. It is an adjacent equipment supplier whose products are often installed alongside dump bodies, including on Heritage-equipped trucks.
• SSAB: SSAB manufactures Hardox wear-resistant steel used in Heritage's steel dump bodies. It is a critical upstream supplier relationship and also serves competing dump body manufacturers, making it both a partner and an enabler of competitive intensity.

Regional players

• Hyva: Hyva is a global manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, tipping hoists, and roll-off systems used on dump trucks. As an existing supplier relationship of Heritage (listed as a supplier resource), it represents a complementary competitor in hoist components outside of Heritage's core North American focus.
