Levan Machine & Truck Equipment

What Levan Machine & Truck Equipment does

Levan Machine & Truck Equipment is a third-generation, family-owned industrial services company founded in 1936 in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, operating a full-service machine shop and commercial vehicle upfitting operation. The company operates two principal divisions: a Machining Services division offering CNC machining, on-site boring, food-grade machining, welding and fabrication, flywheel resurfacing, surface grinding, driveline repair, and dynamic/electronic balancing; and a Commercial Truck Upfitting division launched in 2010 that sells, installs, and services truck bodies (utility/service, dump, platform, crane, landscape, mechanic/lube, contractor, gooseneck, stake), van solutions, snowplows and ice control equipment, liftgates, tarps, central hydraulic systems, specialty lighting, mobile power systems, and toolboxes. Underlying technology is rooted in conventional CNC equipment, hydraulic system integration, custom fabrication, and welding, supplemented by a proprietary Levan Spray Liner product applied to truck beds, trailers, and equipment for corrosion and impact protection.

The company generates revenue across four primary streams: equipment sales (commercial trucks, truck bodies, snowplows, spreaders, liftgates, crane systems), service and repair (truck maintenance, hydraulic services, snowplow repair, safety inspections, frame alterations, 24-hour emergency repair), parts and accessories sales (OEM replacement parts for liftgates, drivelines, hydraulics, and aftermarket accessories), and machining services (CNC, custom, prototyping, engineered industrial repair). Pricing is exclusively quote-based; customers initiate transactions via phone, in-person consultation at the Fleetwood headquarters, an online quote request form, or through an outside sales team of five representatives. Distribution is direct-led, augmented by master distributor or core reseller relationships with major OEMs including BOSS Snowplow, Knapheide, Morgan, VMAC, Vanair, Miller EnPak, Stellar Industries, TruckCraft, EZ-Dumper, Force America, and the WaltCo/Maxon/Thieman/Tommy Gate/Dhollandia liftgate portfolio.

The customer base spans commercial fleet operators, snow and ice contractors, municipalities, construction and trades contractors, landscapers, oil/gas/energy operators, and agricultural businesses across Central Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and New York, while machining services reach customers in the U.S., Europe, Mexico, and South America. The company holds ASE Blue Seal of Excellence certification and is an MVP Member of the National Truck Equipment Association. Financing partnerships with BLC Equipment Finance, Priority Capital, Sheffield Financial, and Western Equipment Finance support equipment sales. Levan operates three production facilities on Pricetown Road in Fleetwood, including the original 1936 building (now warehouse space) and an 8,000 square foot third truck production facility opened in July 2017.
