Danhard, specialty vehicle HVAC manufacturer since 1963

About Danhard

Founded in Dallas in 1963

Danhard has been designing and manufacturing HVAC systems for specialty vehicles for over 60 years. Since our founding, we have focused exclusively on one thing: building climate control systems that work in ambulances, fire trucks, armored vehicles, transit van conversions, and other specialty vehicles.

Everything we do comes from our single facility in Dallas, Texas. We design systems here, we manufacture here, we test here, and we ship from here to customers around the world. This vertical integration means we control quality at every step and can respond to our customers quickly when they need us.

Our Philosophy in Plain Language

Danhard invests in inventory, engineering, and customer service so its customers can finish vehicles and get them sold.

This is not a generic mission statement. This is what we do every day. When you order a system from us, we have it on hand or can build it quickly. When you have a question about your application, our lead engineer who has 30+ years of experience will help you, and he will not charge you a consulting fee. When something goes wrong, our OEM Sales lead gives every OEM customer his personal cell phone and is available to help solve it immediately.

Our customers spend their time and money finishing vehicles and getting them to market. We spend our time and money making sure HVAC never becomes a bottleneck in their process.

How We Serve You

Inventory & Availability

We invest heavily in inventory across all standard systems. Most commonly-ordered components and finished systems ship the same day they are ordered. We use an enterprise-grade ERP system to forecast demand months in advance, so your needs are already planned for.

Flexible Ordering

We accept blanket orders for up to 12 months with flexible delivery quantities and dates. This gives you the certainty of a locked-in price while maintaining flexibility as your production schedule changes. No surprises on lead times or cost.
