Why Fleet Managers Are Choosing Battle Motors for Refuse and Municipal Trucks

When you manage a truck fleet, the brands you choose—and the dealer you work with—make all the difference. At Bond Equipment, we’re proud to be the authorized Battle Motors dealer for Dallas, Fort Worth, and all of North Texas. Over the past few years, we’ve seen more fleet managers turn to Battle Motors for refuse and municipal trucks, and we’ve helped dozens of local businesses and city departments make the switch. Here’s why Battle Motors is winning over fleets—and why Bond Equipment is the best place to get them.

Experience That Goes the Distance

You might have heard the name Battle Motors more recently, but their history in the industry goes back over 75 years. Formerly known as Crane Carrier Company, Battle Motors builds trucks in Ohio that are made for hard work and long service lives. At Bond Equipment, we know Texas fleets need vehicles that can handle tough routes, hot summers, and heavy loads—Battle Motors delivers all that and more.

Designed for Demanding Texas Routes

Not every truck is up to the challenge of North Texas roads, neighborhoods, and job sites. That’s why fleet managers trust Bond Equipment to match them with the right Battle Motors model and upfit. The popular LET2 and LNT cabover trucks offer exceptional visibility for tight city streets and alleyways, with maneuverability that makes residential and municipal routes easier to manage.

Plus, Battle Motors trucks can be customized for any application—from refuse and recycling to construction and public works. Need an automated side loader, a rear loader, or a specialty chassis for unique municipal equipment? Bond Equipment will help you configure your Battle Motors truck to fit your exact needs, ensuring your fleet is ready for anything.
