LCI Industries, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., announced that its subsidiary, Lippert Components Manufacturing, Inc., has acquired substantially all the business assets of Leveltron, LLC. Leveltron, headquartered in White Pigeon, Michigan, is the provider of Bigfoot Hydraulic Systems.
Bigfoot provides hydraulic leveling solutions and landing gear for Class A, B and C motorhomes as well as the utility and equine trailer markets. Bigfoot’s highly engineered yet simple systems also lend themselves to other markets including the U.S. military and construction equipment, according to a press release from Lippert. The company is led today by third-generation leaders Matt and Brandon Lehman, as well as Bob Slack.
Ryan Smith, LCI Industries’ group president – North America, said in the press release that he is excited to add the Bigfoot Leveling Systems into Lippert’s already robust catalog of hydraulic and electric leveling systems: “I am happy to welcome the Bigfoot team to the Lippert family. We’re excited to add Bigfoot’s unique and innovative solutions to our wide offering of leveling and stabilization products. Bigfoot’s systems offer solutions in the RV and Utility Trailer markets that Lippert has not historically filled, so we’re excited to use our reach in the industry to expand upon Bigfoot’s current customer base.”
Lippert plans to expand Bigfoot’s RV Aftermarket footprint by making the leveling systems available throughout Lippert’s distribution and dealer networks, the company said. Bigfoot leveling installations will continue to be offered at their White Pigeon, Michigan location, and Lippert plans to eventually expand installations at wherever Lippert factory service is provided nationwide, according to the press release.
