Engineering
Fontaine Modification’s Engineering Teams are consistently developing products, improving, and looking for the next development. Our teams have the unique ability to engineer, design systems, build prototypes and execute serial production with both contract engineering and new products.
Fontaine’s “Plan First” approach to engineering means:
- All designs meet FMVSS, DOT, and EPA compliance standards.
- Many structural designs are fully patented.
- Electrical wiring changes fit well into the OEM’s factory harness designs.
- We regularly employ Finite Element Analysis on new designs.
- Solid Modeling is used for consistent design and manufacturing.
- For more complicated development work, a prototype may be produced before serial production begins.
- The first truck modified in a group order is used to produce chassis specific work instructions to be used in subsequent production.
- Fontaine’s “Plan First” approach means all trucks in a fleet get a consistent, high-quality result.
Contract Engineering Services
We design, build, and test the prototype to validate the process. The product can be added to our serial production if needed.
Custom Application Engineering
Our Custom Application Engineering Team effectively provides design solutions that exceed OEM standards, while maintaining the look and feel of a factory-provided option. Fontaine Modification’s design versatility is the foundation on which our customers depend to package their equipment for performance and reliability.
New Product Development
We engineer the product and own the design, prototype, and production. We consistently update the core products that we build. We are constantly evolving and looking for the next development.
