Not every work truck gets the chance to help stock Maine waters with over a million fish. 🐟

It’s always exciting to see equipment we helped build out in the real world — especially when it’s supporting something as unique as springtime fish stocking season.

Check out this great behind-the-scenes footage from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife showing the work that goes into keeping Maine’s fisheries thriving and creating opportunities for anglers across the state. 🌲🎣

Five trucks. One mission: helping the State of Maine tackle demanding municipal operations with greater versatility and efficiency. 💪

This week’s feature highlights one of the five Stellar Shuttle40 Hooklift systems to be installed by Hews Company on International HV513SFA tandem axle chassis.

Designed to support a wide range of municipal applications with a single truck platform, the Stellar Shuttle Model 138-18-40 delivers a 40,000 lb. lift and dump capacity and accommodates bodies ranging from 15'–18'. The hooklift configuration allows crews to quickly swap bodies based on the task at hand—helping maximize uptime, efficiency, and fleet flexibility.

Built for dependable day-to-day operation, this unit features:
▪️ 50° maximum dump angle for efficient material unloading
▪️ High-pressure 4,200 PSI hydraulic system
▪️ Patented Tilt & Dump Latch System for controlled body engagement
▪️ Lift cylinder w/ integral counterbalance valves for controlled lifting performance & added protection against sudden movement
▪️ Tilt cylinder with dual pilot-operated counterbalance valves for smooth body loading/offloading & improved operational safety
▪️ In-cab controls for precise operation & improved operator visibility
▪️ Hews custom-fabricated ¾" steel tow plate equipped w/ a 25-ton swivel pintle hook & D-rings for added towing capabilities

Whether it’s hauling, dumping, or supporting seasonal municipal operations, hooklift systems like the Stellar Shuttle40 help fleets do more with fewer dedicated trucks. 🔧

Built to support demanding underground utility work across New England, this Hews-engineered Maintainer Signature Series 1 Service Body is heading to Underground Testing & Services (UTS) on a 2026 Dodge Ram 5500 chassis from Allen Mello. 🔧🚧

Designed as a fully equipped mobile workstation, this truck gives the UTS crew the tools and capabilities they need to stay productive in the field — whether they’re performing utility repairs, line stops, hydrant work, or excavation support services.

A few standout features on this rugged powerhouse include:

🏗️ Maintainer H65620 Hydraulic Short Tower Crane
With a 6,500 lb. max lifting capacity, this crane provides the strength and reach needed for handling heavy equipment, components, and materials on demanding job sites.

💨 VMACAir H40 Hydraulic-Driven Rotary Screw Air Compressor
Paired with an Air Accessory Package, this duo delivers dependable onboard air power for pneumatic tools and field operations without requiring a separate tow-behind compressor.

🔋 Heavy Duty 4000W Ultimate Power Pure Sine Inverter
Provides clean, reliable power for operating tools, charging equipment, and supporting jobsite productivity directly from the truck.

🛠 Hydraulic Tool Circuit & 50' Dual Hydraulic Hose Reel
This setup allows crews to efficiently power hydraulic tools right from the body with enhanced precision and control provided by its electric actuation and quick flow adjustment capabilities.

💧 Integrated Water Tank System with Pump & Hose Reel
Adds convenient onboard water access for field tasks and cleanup when working in utility and excavation environments.

Thank you to Underground Testing & Services for trusting Hews Company with this build, and to Allen Mello for supplying the chassis for another collaborative project.

When the job calls for durable, consistent and efficient performance, this lineup delivers. 🚛

Hews Company partnered with Freightliner & Western Star of Maine to build this sharp set of three Bibeau BMT-S Heavy Duty Dump Bodies for DLM Excavation—purpose-built to support excavation and site work.

For an excavating contractor like DLM, versatility is key. These bodies are designed to handle everything from hauling aggregate and site material to snow removal, helping crews stay productive through every phase of the job.

Each 17' truck is equipped with:
🔹 Unibody alloy steel construction for long-term durability
🔹 One-piece 3/16" AR450 sides w/ wide rub rails for strength & clean flow
🔹 1/4" AR450 floor paired w/ electric heat system
🔹 Hi-lift slanted tailgate w/ double-acting air release for controlled unloading
🔹 40-ton telescopic hoist w/ in-cab feathering for precise operation
🔹 Muncie PTO w/ a three-line hydraulic system for reliable performance
🔹 Pioneer Air Cover System w/ tensioner to reduce billowing
🔹 Finished in black for a clean, uniform fleet look

Built to handle the heat, the weight, and the day-to-day demands DLM faces on the job. 🔥

Check out Tom Provencher putting the Hiab HiSkill VR Crane Simulator to the test. 🎮

We brought this hands-on training tool to last week’s 2026 Career Fair at PATHS (Portland Arts and Technology High School) to give students a chance to experience the kind of technology used in today’s truck equipment industry.

With the VR simulator, students interested in becoming truck equipment technicians were able to interact with and explore how the Hiab cranes we distribute and service operate—offering a realistic, low-risk introduction to the field. 🏗️
