Born from engineer Sean Jones’s frustration with moving containers at his Ohio construction company in 2002, QuickLoadz builds automated truck beds and trailers that load, move, and secure ISO shipping containers. Its Athens operation also assembles battery-electric vocational trucks in the United States, with a 47,000-square-foot facility designed for production at scale. QuickLoadz’s container system uses built-in hydraulic lifts, chain drives, locks, and smartphone control so operators can load or unload from the truck cab in about three minutes.

Titan Truss TrailersBorn from a Pennsylvania truss hauler’s search for a better way to move unwieldy building materials, Titan Truss Trailers manufactures purpose-built trailers that haul trusses upside down and unload them safely to the side. Linford began hauling trusses in 2000, and his nephew Josh helped turn the idea into a first prototype completed in October 2021. The company’s trailers are designed for single-operator loading and unloading while reducing the logistical burden of oversized-load hauling.NEW HOLLAND, PA
