Increase Uptime with Smarter Fleet Solutions

At Merchants Fleet, we understand that manufacturing companies rely on their vehicles to do a lot of the heavy lifting (literally) — from transporting raw materials to delivering finished products. That’s why we offer tailored fleet solutions designed to meet the unique demands of the manufacturing industry. Whether you need heavy-duty trucks for hauling equipment, box trucks for efficient product transport, or cargo vans for smaller, more specialized deliveries, we’ll help you build a fleet that works as hard as you do.

Our flexible leasing and funding options, along with products and services like connected vehicle technology and vehicle upfitting, ensure your fleet is equipped for maximum efficiency. With proactive maintenance support and tools to monitor performance, we minimize downtime and help you focus on what matters most — growing your business. 

We’re ready to be your trusted partner in crafting a fleet strategy that drives success at every mile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Merchants provide vehicles capable of transporting heavy or oversized manufacturing equipment?

Yes, we can provide specialized vehicles — including flatbeds, heavy-duty trucks, and trailers — that are designed to transport heavy or oversized manufacturing equipment. We can also customize your fleet to meet the specific needs of your operations, ensuring that you have the right vehicles to move equipment safely and efficiently.

How does Merchants handle fleet maintenance to minimize downtime in production-critical operations?

We offer proactive fleet maintenance services to minimize downtime and keep your vehicles running smoothly. Our maintenance programs include scheduled service intervals, real-time diagnostics through telematics, and a nationwide network of trusted vendors for quick repairs.

What options do you have for managing seasonal fluctuations in vehicle demand?

We offer flexible rental and leasing programs designed to scale with your needs, including short-term rentals and peak-period leases. These options ensure you can adjust your fleet size efficiently during busy seasons without long-term commitments.

Can I put my company logo on the rental vehicle?

Yes. We have a full team of upfitting experts who can add vehicle wraps and logos to your rental vehicles. With our short-term rentals, these upfitting services are performed at the clients’ expense, and the upfits cannot affect the condition of the vehicle. At the end of the rental terms, the vehicle must be returned to its original condition.
