CEC Tour - Nichols Fleet Equipment (13 Jul 2026)

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Step inside one of Chattanooga’s leading fleet operations with a behind‑the‑scenes tour of Nichols Fleet Equipment, a family‑owned company nationally recognized for building high‑quality mechanics and service trucks. Since 1991, Nichols Fleet has grown from a small upfitter into a premier builder of custom mechanics trucks, service bodies, aerial solutions, telecom units, and specialized trailers — all guided by their philosophy: “Build it like we’d build our own.”

Guests will tour the company’s state‑of‑the‑art facility, opened in 2024, and see how skilled technicians transform raw chassis into fully outfitted, work‑ready fleet vehicles. The tour highlights each stage of the build process — engineering, fabrication, installation, finishing, and final inspection — and showcases the craftsmanship, safety standards, and attention to detail that define Nichols Fleet.

Attendees will also learn about the company’s custom design process, advanced tools and installation techniques, full‑service support model, and the role of Nichols Fleet Rentals (NFR) in providing rapid‑deployment fleet solutions nationwide.
