In the oil and gas industry, heavy haul winch trucks play a crucial role in transporting oversized loads, pulling heavy equipment, and navigating rugged job sites. The right winch truck body can make all the difference in efficiency, durability, and safety.
At Lone Star Trailer & Body, we specialize in custom-built heavy haul winch truck bodies, engineered to withstand the toughest conditions while delivering maximum load control and safety. Whether you're hauling drilling rigs, pipeline equipment, or large machinery, investing in customized features ensures your truck is built for performance.
Standard vs. Custom Winch Truck Bodies: What’s Worth the Investment?
Standard Winch Truck Bodies
A standard heavy haul winch truck body typically includes:
✔ 50K winch capacity with 125’ of ¾” mill-certified cable
✔ Cab-height headache rack with chain racks & air supply
✔ Manual driver-side winch controls
✔ 7” tail roller with kickers for load control
✔ DOT-approved LED lighting
While these trucks handle basic heavy-hauling needs, customizing your winch truck body can significantly improve efficiency, load management, and job site safety.
Customized Winch Truck Bodies: Tailored for Heavy Haul Success
Custom features enhance durability, optimize load control, and increase efficiency. Our custom winch truck bodies offer:
✅ Up to 100K winch capacity for extreme loads
✅ Pusher axle covers & bolt-on tail roller covers for added protection
✅ Remote winch control for safer, more efficient operation
✅ Power Beyond Hydraulic Hookup for trailer compatibility
✅ Additional storage, steps, and pogo sticks for convenience
If your job requires handling oversized, high-weight loads, a custom winch truck body is worth the investment to prevent breakdowns, improve safety, and ensure long-term durability.
