Load King has been producing first-class trailers and other heavy equipment since 1956. But since the company became a fully-owned subsidiary of Custom Truck One Source in 2015, the push for innovation and engineering excellence has reached a whole new level.
Bringing crucial production jobs in-house, taking customer and distributor expectations onboard and expanding their best-in-class product offerings, Load King is ruling the marketplace today, pioneering a `churn’, breaking with status quo and raising qualitative standards of the industry as a whole.
The latest news emanating from Load King is the industry buzz surrounding the company’s new Voyager® Series — a vocational collection of high-performance mechanics bodies designed to serve a variety of heavy equipment industries.
Three models from the Voyager® Series has been brought to market: the Voyager® I mechanics body, the Voyager® II mechanics body, and the Voyager® P propane service body, built specifically for propane marketers.
All three models in the Voyager® Series are expected to surpass the competition in payload capacity and quality, while maintaining a competitive price point.
“Since joining Custom Truck in 2015, we have deliberately expanded Load King’s product offerings outside of trailers, to further position the company as the only single-source equipment provider in the industry,” says Ben Link, executive vice president of Production and Supply Chain for Load King. “By leveraging Custom Truck’s leadership in the vocational realm and its proximity to operators, and merging Load King’s manufacturing expertise and innovative design, we are able to efficiently penetrate and influence the equipment markets, with superior offerings.”
