Ranch Hand Truck Accessories

What Ranch Hand Truck Accessories does

Ranch Hand Truck Accessories is a Texas-based manufacturer of heavy-duty steel truck protection products, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Shiner. The company designs, fabricates, welds, and finishes its products in a single US manufacturing facility, producing front bumpers, rear bumpers, grille guards, running steps, headache racks, mud flaps, and supporting accessories organized into five product series: Legend (ranch-style pipe and diamond-plate construction), Midnight (form-fitted with carbide black finish and light bar compatibility), Sport (winch-ready with 15,000-16,500 lb rated mounts), Summit (off-road), and Public Safety (push bars and grille guards for Ford Police Interceptor Utility, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Dodge Durango). Core technology centers on heavy-gauge steel (up to 7-gauge) with one-piece welded fabrication, frame-mounted installation that prevents rattling, and a co-cured carbide black powder coat with liquid A-coat for corrosion resistance. Products are engineered to retain factory ADAS components including parking sensors, front cameras, fog lights, and adaptive cruise control, and public safety units are designed for compatibility with Federal Signal, Whelen, Sound Off Signal, Code 3, and Feniex emergency lighting systems.

The company operates exclusively through a network of independent dealers nationwide, supplemented by direct website sales that route to dealers for installation. Unit pricing spans approximately $79 for accessories and wiring harnesses up to $2,369.95 for winch-ready front bumpers, with running steps in the $700-$900 range and rear bumpers from $970.95 to $1,229.95. Customer segments include individual truck owners (primary), public safety agencies (primary vertical), and commercial/fleet operators. Marketing is supported by an ambassador program, Instagram presence, email newsletter, downloadable catalog, and customer testimonials. Ranch Hand is a privately held subsidiary of Lippert Companies, a diversified manufacturing conglomerate that also owns complementary brands CURT and UWS.
