100 Years of Highway
For 100 years, Highway MFG has been right there in the thick of it—through dirt, sweat, and whatever Mother Nature could throw our way. Born and bred in the heart of Minnesota, we started out with just a handful of hard-working folks and a simple promise: build equipment that doesn’t quit. A century later, that same grit and determination drives everything we do, from our industry-leading pressure diggers to the custom trucks you’ll find on jobsites from coast to coast.
As we tip our hats to a hundred years of roll-up-your-sleeves innovation, we’re not just looking back—we’re looking ahead. The road behind us is long, but the one in front is wide open. Highway MFG isn’t just part of America’s story—we’re building its future, one machine at a time. And after all these years, we’re still ready to roll.
Built Here. Built Right. Built to Dig.
At Highway Manufacturing, every weld, bolt, and bracket is built right here in the heartland of America. We’ve been crafting tough-as-nails pressure diggers and foundation drills on U.S. soil since 1926—and we’re damn proud of it. Our machines aren’t just assembled in America; they’re engineered, tested, and refined by folks who know what it's like to work outside in boots and grit. When you buy a Highway unit, you're not just getting top-tier performance—you’re supporting American jobs, American steel, and American values.
Based in Hopkins, Minnesota, we’re still family-rooted and field-driven. Our commitment to domestic manufacturing means better quality control, shorter lead times, and direct access to the parts and service you need to keep digging. Whether you're tackling rock in the Dakotas or setting poles in the Carolinas, you can trust Highway equipment to show up, stand up, and power through. That’s the kind of reliability you only get when it’s built here, built right.
