Construction fleets are the longest-dwell-time category we wrap. Job sites in central Edmonton or busy suburbs see thousands of vehicles per day, and your equipment is parked there visible for the duration of the build. That's where the branding earns its impression count, not in the half-hour drive to the next site.
What's different about wrapping a construction fleet
- DOT and regulatory markings. Commercial trucks over a certain GVW require company name, USDOT (if interprovincial), and CCV/CMVSS markings. The wrap includes these as cut-vinyl elements integrated into the design, not stuck on as an afterthought.
- Mud, dust, and grit tolerance. Construction vehicles get filthier than any other category. The wrap doesn't show wear differently than paint, but the lower body panels see heavy abrasion from gravel, mud, and tool contact. We recommend keeping printed graphics above the lower 6 inches of any body panel.
- Equipment overlap. Pickup beds carry tools, lumber, and concrete forms. Trailer beds carry skid-steers and excavators. The wrap doesn't go where equipment lives: branding sits on the cab and outer surfaces, not on the loading-and-storage areas.
- Multi-vehicle category mix. A typical GC fleet has half-ton pickups, HD service trucks, an enclosed trailer or two, and sometimes a service-body truck. The wrap design has to scale across all of them.
- Site-trailer signage. Construction site office trailers and storage containers can also be wrapped. We do these as part of fleet projects when the same branding needs to cover the rolling and stationary assets.
Common construction fleet patterns
- Mixed pickup-and-trailer fleet: pickups in partial wrap (doors + tailgate + bedside) with a matching enclosed trailer. $2,000–$3,500 per pickup, $3,500–$5,500 per trailer. Most-common pattern for residential builders.
- HD service trucks: 3500-class work trucks with full or partial wraps. $4,000–$6,000 each. Common for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical subs working under a GC.
- Site trailer / storage container branding: same design language as the fleet, applied to the static jobsite asset. $1,500–$4,000 depending on size.
Pricing
| Vehicle / asset | Typical wrap |
|---|---|
| Pickup, doors + tailgate cut vinyl | $400–$1,200 |
| Pickup, partial wrap | $2,000–$3,500 |
| HD service truck, full wrap | $4,500–$6,500 |
| Enclosed trailer, both sides | $4,500–$7,500 |
| Site office trailer / sea-can branding | $1,500–$4,000 |
| Heavy equipment decals (excavator, skid-steer) | $400–$1,500 |
Fleet pricing applies for 3+ vehicles. Heavy-equipment decals get separate pricing because the substrates (machine bodies) and graphics types are different from vehicle-body work.

Common questions
Can you wrap heavy equipment: excavators, skid-steers, bobcats?
Yes, with caveats. Equipment bodies wrap fine but they take aggressive wear (rocks, branches, debris contact). We typically use cut-vinyl decals rather than full wraps on equipment (same trust-signal effect, easier to maintain and replace). Full equipment wraps run $1,500–$3,500 depending on size.
What about my company name on a site fence or hoarding?
Construction hoarding and site fencing get branded with architectural wraps: large-format printed vinyl applied to the temporary structure. Custom-sized panels, removable when the site closes.
How fast can I get a new vehicle added to the fleet design?
Once the design is in our system from your original fleet project, adding a vehicle is just install: typically 2–5 days from quote to drive-away. No design fee for re-using an existing layout.
Will the wrap survive a construction season in Edmonton weather?
Cast vinyl wraps survive Alberta freeze-thaw cycles fine. The wear they show is from physical contact (tool damage, mud abrasion, lumber-scrape on tailgates), not from weather. Patch repairs run $150–$400 per damaged panel.
