We started with a simple but urgent realization: shipping high-value architectural products nationwide was far too risky with traditional carriers. Deliveries were delayed, materials were mishandled, and finishes that should have arrived jobsite-ready often showed up damaged. For builders, architects, and manufacturers, the lack of a reliable nationwide solution wasn’t just inconvenient—it was costly.
Founded in 2023, Lion Hopper was built to fix that problem. We created a freight company focused exclusively on specialized, high-value freight requiring precision handling and coordination, with a core expertise in architectural products. From custom metals and shading systems to site furnishings and specialty fabrications, we know these shipments demand more than a standard carrier can provide.
What makes us different is our dedication to doing it right, every time:
- Special Handling Expertise – Our team is trained to secure, protect, and deliver sensitive freight that cannot afford damage.
- Nationwide Reliability – Coast-to-coast coverage with consistent processes and communication.
- Project Coordination – Deliveries scheduled to align with jobsite requirements and construction timelines.
- Trusted Partner – We’re more than a carrier—we’re part of your project team, ensuring materials arrive safely and on time.
We bring years of experience in construction, architectural metals, and freight logistics. That background gives us insight most freight companies lack: we know what’s at stake when materials don’t arrive as promised. Today, contractors and manufacturers across the U.S. choose Lion Hopper Specialties because they want a partner who treats every shipment as high-stakes—and delivers accordingly. We don’t just move freight; we help keep projects on schedule and reputations intact. For contractors, that means fewer delays and less risk when coordinating complex jobsites. For manufacturers, it means having a carrier who understands how to handle finished products, protect their brand, and maintain customer trust.
