History of Brockway Trucks

Brockway was founded long before the automobile era as a carriage manufacturer. In 1909, she built her first truck, and during World War II she proved herself to be a reliable and successful B666 truck chassis. In 1956, the brand was purchased by Mack, and in 1977 the Mack owners decided to close the division for financial reasons. The picture shows one of the last Brockway, model 360 (1977).

 

Brockway Motor Company made special heavy duty trucks in Cortland, New York from 1912 to 1977. It was founded as Brockway Carriage Works in 1875 by William Brockway. His son George Brockway later turned the wagons into a truck manufacturer in 1909. The first trucks were high speed. During World War I, Brockway built 587 Class B Liberty trucks for the military. After the war they launched a new range from 1 to 5 tons. They started with Continental engines but switched to Wisconsin in 1925. They bought these engines in 1928 but were forced to sell them to the White Motor Company in their early years. depression. A new lineup, the V1200, was offered from 1934 to 1937. The V1200 used a 240 hp American LaFrance V12 engine and could handle loads up to 15 tons.

During World War II, Brockway produced the B666 Heavy Truck, including the B666 Daybrook M-II-A Bridge Carrier and the C666 Quick Way Crane, as well as the G547 and G690 6×6 6-Ton Bridge Haulers, part of the standard design series also built Corbitt and White. The G547 "Treadway" trucks had a large lift at the rear for self-unloading, while the G690 chassis was fitted with Quickway cranes also used for bridge work.

The company was acquired by Mack Trucks Inc. in August 1956 and remained a division of Mack until it closed in June 1977. Mack cited "union issues" for the closure.

All 6-ton military trucks (all manufacturers) had Hercules HXD 855 c.u. 14.0 l) I6 petrol engines developing 202 hp (151 kW) at 2150 rpm and 870 Nm of torque at 900 rpm.

Brockway commercial trucks primarily used Cummins, although many were equipped with Detroit Diesel engines. Some Brockway trucks were fitted with inline-six engines fitted with Rochester (DualJet) carburetors.

Each year, Cortland hosts the Brockway Truck Show, which hosts many events. The official Brockway Museum located in Homer, New York at the Central New York Living History Center.
