Ace Announces Exciting Partnership with Custom Truck One Source

Ace Lugger Trucks are in Stock!

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Custom Truck One Source, the largest stocking dealer for vocational trucks in North America. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the way customers procure high-quality lugger hoist trucks, offering unparalleled convenience, speed, and reliability.

Custom Truck One Source is known as the ultimate “one-stop shop” for vocational trucks. They don’t just claim this title—they prove it every day with their extensive inventory of in-stock truck equipment. No other group in North America understands the truck market as deeply as Custom Truck does, ensuring they are always prepared to meet every customer’s needs with efficiency and expertise.

What to Expect from Ace?

At Ace, we remain committed to offering the industry’s best lugger hoist—our renowned 120-RC-50 50,000 lbs. Hoist. Customers can expect the same exceptional quality and performance they have come to rely on, now with even more efficiency through our partnership with Custom Truck.

Each lugger hoist will be outfitted with:

  • Work Lights – Enhancing visibility for safer operations.
  • Automatic Tarping System – Providing quick and secure load coverage.
  • Outrigger Strut Arms – Reducing the risk of damage during operation, increasing longevity and durability.

This means that our customers will continue to receive top-tier equipment with features designed to maximize safety, efficiency, and ease of use.

What to Expect from Custom Truck?

By working with Custom Truck, our customers will gain access to top-of-the-line truck chassis options, including:

  • Peterbilt 567
  • Kenworth T880
  • Mack Granite

Additionally, Custom Truck provides:

  • In-stock availability at their Union Grove, WI location, reducing long wait times.
  • Excellent service and parts catalog with 24/7 service centers.
  • The ability to supply other equipment your business may need, making it easier to source all necessary tools from a single provider.
  • Financing options, helping businesses obtain the trucks they need without financial strain.

Solving the Lead Time Challenge

One of the biggest challenges in today’s market is the long lead times associated with procuring truck equipment. Traditionally, customers followed this process:

  1. Order the truck from their local truck dealer.
  2. Order a lugger body from Ace.
  3. Ace installs the body on the truck.
  4. Once finished, the customer receives a turn-key lugger hoist truck.

This process often took up to 8 months due to delays in truck availability and our 90-120 day lead time. These long wait times made it difficult for businesses to maintain profitability and efficiency.

How Our Partnership with Custom Truck Fixes This Issue

Through our partnership, we can bypass long lead times and provide a quick, reliable solution with top-tier truck options. Custom Truck’s vast inventory ensures that customers can obtain high-quality trucks without waiting months for availability. This streamlined process means:

  • Faster turnaround times—no more waiting for months on end.
  • Immediate access to high-quality, ready-to-use equipment.
  • Improved profitability by reducing downtime and keeping businesses operational.

A Bright Future Ahead

At Ace, we are honored and excited about this venture with Custom Truck One Source. Our mission has always been to provide the best possible truck equipment solutions for our customers, and this partnership allows us to take that commitment to the next level.

By combining Ace’s industry-leading lugger hoist with Custom Truck’s unmatched inventory and service capabilities, we are setting a new standard for the vocational truck industry. We look forward to helping businesses acquire the equipment they need—faster, easier, and more efficiently than ever before.
