Maintainer Corporation Celebrates 50 Years of Innovation and Excellence in the Truck Body Industry

SHELDON, IA – January 5, 2026 – Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, Inc., a leading manufacturer of premium custom truck bodies and cranes, is proud to announce the celebration of its 50th Anniversary. For five decades, Maintainer has set the industry standard for durability, safety, and quality in the service truck market.

Founded in 1976 in Sheldon, Iowa, Maintainer began with a single custom service body, the BMT (Basic Maintainer Body), which featured a flatbed truck with a fixed boom crane mounted behind the cab. Over the last 50 years, the company has evolved from a small local operation into a nationally recognized brand, providing custom service bodies, lube trucks, and truck accessories, such as lube skids and cranes, to customers across North America.

"Reaching this 50-year milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our employees, the loyalty of our dealer network, and the trust our customers place in us every day," said Shelley Morris, President of Maintainer Corporation. "While our technology and manufacturing processes have evolved significantly since our founding, our core mission remains unchanged: to provide the highest quality and most reliable work trucks on the road."

Throughout its history, Maintainer has remained at the forefront of industry advancements, with key milestones including:

• The development of the Signature Maintainer service body, known for its longevity and resale value.
• Innovations in crane safety and wireless control technologies, including the proprietary M Connect software.
• The creation of a full line of accessories including the DuaLock drawer set system, setting a new standard for tool storage solutions.

As Maintainer celebrates its rich history, the company is also looking toward the future. With recent investments in expanded production facilities and a cutting-edge training center, Maintainer is poised to meet the growing demands of the construction, agriculture, and municipal sectors for the next 50 years.

"We are not just celebrating our past; we are celebrating the future of American manufacturing," added Morris. "We are excited to continue innovating and supporting the people who keep our infrastructure moving."

To mark this golden anniversary, Maintainer will be hosting a special open house at its headquarters in Sheldon, Iowa, in June 2026. Additionally, the company has released a commemorative 50th Anniversary logo that will be featured throughout the year.
