Tucker's Machine & Steel Service

What Tucker's Machine & Steel Service does

Tucker's Machine & Steel Service, Inc. (d/b/a Tuckerbilt®) is a third-generation, family-owned custom metal fabricator and specialty equipment manufacturer headquartered in Leesburg, Florida. Founded in 1953 as Tucker's Heavy Equipment Service, Inc., the company originally maintained rock crushers, earth movers, and citrus harvesting machinery and helped develop tooling for prestressed concrete fabrication in the United States; it was rebranded under the Tuckerbilt® trademark in 1973 and has since concentrated on custom industrial fabrication.

The company's product portfolio centers on the Tuckerbilt® T-644, an articulated concrete transport vehicle for precast and prestressed concrete plants (JCB Tier 4 Final engine, Danfoss H1 hydrostatic drive, CAN-controlled hydraulics, 6-yard swing hopper, OSHA/MSHA-compliant enclosed cab), supported by a retired-but-still-serviced T-630 legacy model. Beyond the flagship machine, Tuckerbilt® builds a family of custom-fabricated industrial products — Custom Forms (barrier, column, pile, stadium, stair, and bespoke), Hauling Racks, Lifting Beams (including 90-foot and 115-foot pile variants), Embeds manufactured to PCI standards by AWS D1.1/D1.4/D1.6-qualified welders, Custom Steel Products, and the Double Tee Rocker trailer accessory — and operates three service lines (Retail Sales, CNC Services, Welding & Fabrication Services) backed by six in-house capacity areas (Precision Machining, Plate Processing, Structural Processing, Rebar Processing, Stud Welding, Robotic Welding).

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven custom manufacturing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company states it handles work ranging from a $50 retail repair to a $5 million industrial build. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer and consultative, anchored by phone-first engagement (352-787-3157), personal relationships, and a custom-specification quoting workflow targeting industrial B2B buyers in precast/prestressed concrete, construction, agriculture, and general manufacturing. The company is privately held with no external investors or institutional shareholders; current ownership rests with Matt Tucker (Owner, T-644, Forms, General) and Murray Tucker III (Owner, Custom Machining, Forms).
