Serving the Brazosport Industrial Corridor

Freeport and the Brazosport area are home to some of the largest petrochemical and chemical manufacturing facilities in the United States — Dow Chemical, BASF, Chevron Phillips, OxyChem, and others operate massive industrial complexes along the Brazos River and Gulf Coast here. That means a steady, heavy demand for industrial-grade work trucks and service bodies.

We supply truck equipment for Freeport and Brazosport buyers including:

  • Petrochemical plant maintenance contractors — service bodies, crane-ready truck setups, mechanics trucks
  • Industrial construction crews — flatbeds, platform bodies, crane bodies for turnaround and shutdown work
  • Port of Freeport and marine contractors — heavy flatbeds and utility bodies for port operations
  • Oilfield and pipeline service companies working the Gulf Coast fields and offshore logistics
  • Commercial fishing and shrimp processing operations at Freeport’s docks — utility flatbeds for equipment hauling
