Truck Cab's History
|
Truck Cab Manufacturers Inc., a Cincinnati based manufacturer of heavy-duty truck cabs is a company rich in tradition and experience. Its roots can be traced back to the Highland Buggy Company, which was founded in Cincinnati in 1870.
Nineteenth century Cincinnati was a carriage manufacturing mecca and TCM is one of the last vestiges of that once thriving industry. John Weber, Sr. went to work for Highland in 1935, and later became chief cab engineer for Trailmobile (Highland's parent company). In 1948, he and a group of investors bought the cab division from Trailmobile, and went into business as Truck Cab Manufacturers. |

Throughout the years, the company
has refined its processes and expanded
its capabilities to move the industry from wood build-up cabs to
the high-tech products used to build modern fire engines, waste
disposal trucks and wreckers. Truck Cab also built the tank retrievers
used in Operation Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia.
Western Hills Fabricators, acquired
in 1978, is a state-of-the-art sheet metal fabrication shop that
produces all of the galvaneal, aluminum, and stainless steel parts
that Truck Cab designs. About 40% of the output of Western Hills
goes to other users of sheet metal and heavy weldments. |
| In its 72,000 square foot facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, TCM continues to add to its rich history by providing the highest quality cabs available.
