Timber country in Louisiana and East Texas is hard on trucks: soft ground, brush, heavy gear, and long distances from the shop. Logging and timber crews need bodies that carry fuel, tools, chainsaws, and parts reliably. Star Truck Equipment in Wharton, TX upfits trucks for crews across both states.
Service Bodies for Field Repair
A skidder or feller buncher breakdown deep in a tract costs real money by the hour. A service body keeps wrenches, hydraulic fittings, filters, and grease organized and dry. See our STI and CM lines for options with lockable compartments.
Flatbeds for Saws, Fuel, and Supplies
A flatbed with stake pockets and a headache rack handles fuel cans, bar oil, chains, and fencing or boundary-marking supplies. Add toolboxes for sharpening gear and PPE.
Cranes for Loading Parts and Attachments
Heavy cutting heads, tracks, and tires are awkward to lift by hand. A Tiger crane on a service body or flatbed lets one person load components safely. Match crane capacity to the heaviest piece you actually move, and mind the truck’s GVWR.
Built for Rough Ground
- Choose a body that keeps weight balanced on the rear axle.
- Add work lights and strobes for early starts and late finishes.
- Consider a dually chassis for heavier loads.
- Protect lights and wiring from branches.
