We're Not Just One Brand

Why Operators Choose Battle Motors
Battle Motors has been building severe-service vocational chassis in America since 1946 (originally as Crane Carrier). The Raider and Striker share that DNA — engineered specifically for refuse, recycling, and other punishing vocational applications where lifespan and uptime matter more than highway speed.
Two Models, One Brand
The Raider handles heavy-duty Class 7–8 refuse work with Cummins L9 or X12 power. The Striker drops into Class 6 non-CDL territory for inner-city and tight-route applications. Same Battle Motors DNA, two missions.
18″ Low-Entry Cab
The Raider LET2 features an 18-inch step-in height on both sides — industry-leading for true low-entry cab design. Drivers exit and re-enter the cab hundreds of times per shift; every inch matters for fatigue and injury prevention.
5-Year Warranty Package
Every Battle Motors cab & chassis ships with a 5-year chassis warranty, plus 5-year coverage on engine, transmission, tow, and aftertreatment systems — included, not an upcharge.
