Maxon Lift received the Wabash Platinum Award for supply chain performance in 2025. The company, which manufactures liftgates for commercial trucks, trailers, and specialized fleet applications, earned the recognition for its support of Wabash's supply chain.

Wabash presents the Platinum Award each year to suppliers that demonstrate excellence in innovation, quality, delivery, cost, and service. The award also recognizes suppliers that support Wabash's growth through consistent logistics and supply chain performance.

Maxon was one of 37 companies selected to receive the 2025 Platinum Award. 

"We are honored to be recognized for our efforts," Brent Stratton, co-president at Maxon, said. “We value our long-term partnership with Wabash and look forward to continuing our shared business success. This award helps solidify Maxon’s top-quality liftgate products and outstanding customer service from our most knowledgeable and comprehensive support team. We are incredibly proud of our Maxon team and this award.”

What this means for the trucking industry

Reliable supplier performance remains an important part of keeping commercial truck and trailer production on schedule. For refrigerated carriers, foodservice fleets, and other operations that depend on liftgates for trailer and straight truck deliveries, consistent product availability and supplier support can help maintain equipment uptime and support new vehicle builds.
