Best Truck Beds and Service Bodies for Louisiana Buyers

If you’re a contractor, rancher, oilfield worker, or fleet manager in Louisiana looking for a quality truck bed or service body, you don’t have to settle for whatever your local dealer has in stock. Star Truck Equipment in Wharton, TX is just a short drive across the state line — and we serve Louisiana buyers every week with premium truck beds, flatbeds, service bodies, and crane bodies from the best brands in the business.

Why Louisiana Buyers Choose Star Truck Equipment

Wharton, TX sits just west of Houston on Highway 59, putting us within easy reach of Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, Lake Charles, and the entire southwest Louisiana corridor. Buyers from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans, and Shreveport make the trip regularly — and it’s worth it. Our inventory includes brands that are hard to find anywhere in Louisiana:

Truck Beds for Louisiana Flatbed Work

Louisiana’s oilfield, construction, and agriculture industries demand flatbeds that hold up in tough conditions — wet weather, heavy loads, and rough job sites. Our most popular flatbed truck bodies for Louisiana buyers include:

  • CM RD Flatbed — the #1 selling flatbed in America, available in 8′, 9′, and 11′ lengths for Ford F-250 through F-550 and Ram 2500 through 5500
  • Bedrock Granite 9G — a premium steel flatbed with a lifetime warranty, ideal for construction crews in south Louisiana and the Gulf Coast
  • Norstar SD Flatbed — a step-deck style that’s popular with hay haulers and cattle ranchers in central Louisiana
  • Bradford Built Flatbed — well-made, competitively priced, and available in a variety of configurations including combo and skirted styles

All flatbeds are finished in powder coat — not galvanized — which means a cleaner, long-lasting finish that holds up in the Louisiana heat and humidity.

Service Bodies for Louisiana Contractors and Tradespeople

Louisiana’s construction, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC industries run on work trucks. A well-equipped service body turns your truck into a rolling toolbox — organized compartments, lockable doors, and enough storage for every tool on the job. We carry:

  • STI Service Bodies — built for commercial use with deep compartments, heavy-duty hinges, and optional crane mounts. Popular with pipeline crews, utility contractors, and industrial facilities across south Louisiana.
  • Norstar Service Bodies — durable steel construction with a powder-coat finish, good value for smaller contractors and independent tradespeople.
  • RKI Truck Bodies — a range of service body styles with strong steel construction, great for fleet upfitting.

Crane Bodies for Louisiana Oilfield and Construction

Louisiana’s oilfield industry — especially around the Gulf Coast, Haynesville Shale, and south Louisiana basin — relies on crane body trucks for equipment moves, pipe handling, and site work. Our crane bodies pair with Tiger Cranes and STI crane bodies to build capable, job-ready crane trucks:

  • Tiger Cranes (3,000–12,000 lb capacity) — lightweight yet powerful, quick to install, and built for daily use. Excellent choice for utility contractors and oilfield service trucks throughout Louisiana.
  • STI Crane Bodies — purpose-built crane body platform with deep storage compartments and mounting reinforcement designed to handle crane loads safely.

We work with Louisiana buyers to spec the right crane capacity for their applications — whether that’s a 3-ton boom for light utility work or a 6-ton unit for heavy oilfield equipment handling.

Serving Louisiana from Wharton, TX

We’re located at 2507 County Rd 231, Wharton, TX 77488 — roughly 60 miles southwest of Houston. That puts us:

Many Louisiana buyers find it easier to drive to us than to work with local dealers who have limited brand selection and long lead times. We stock popular configurations and can often install same-week or next-week for buyers who schedule ahead.
