Our Heritage

Founded in 1899 by Walter A. Messer in Portland, Maine, we started as a one-man blacksmith shop building wagons, sleighs, and ship ironwork. As trucks replaced horses, we evolved into custom truck bodies and equipment, upfitting vehicles from the earliest days of motor transport. Four generations later, we’re still here doing what we’ve always done: building tough, work-ready trucks and vans, now as Messer Truck and Van.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Attention to detail, Customer service is through the roof. Any problems that came up were thoroughly communicated and resolved. We had an issue with a body swap, a crane issue. They thoroughly communicated the issue with the crane and what our options were. This is very important to us. And we are glad to be doing business with Matt and the Messer team.

Many many thanks to the guys at the parts counter. My plow was down. They took time to diagnose provide the proper part and when the truck was on location come out and look to make sure things would be right. Thankful for their knowledge.

WD Matthews Machinery Company has used Messer Truck Equipment to install Adrian Steel shelves, cabinets, and racking in approximately 30 service vans over the last five years. They provide excellent service and always deliver on expectations. They have even provided warranty on installed equipment. Their price has been predictable and fair. We will continue to use Messer Truck Equipment for their reliability, price, and convenience.
