Custom-Built Trucks

OEH recommends starting the planning process 4 to 8 months before your desired installation date. While our installation timelines are reliable and well-managed, early planning helps secure availability, optimize costs, and ensure a smoother project execution.

Global supply chain disruptions and economic conditions can impact material availability across the industry. To minimize delays, OEH maintains stock equipment, either pre-mounted on trucks or ready for installation, whenever possible. This proactive approach helps reduce downtime and keep projects on schedule.

OEH offers multiple financing solutions:

• Loans
• Leasing (most popular)
• Exclusive Manitou Rent-to-Own Program

Leasing allows you to preserve borrowing capacity, as the equipment does not appear as debt on your balance sheet.

Rent-to-Own (Manitou):

• Lock in pricing with a purchase agreement.
• Rent the unit.
• Apply up to 3 months of rental payments toward purchase once you’re ready.

• Man baskets
• Straight mast forklifts
