Drop Frame
We provide drop-frame modifications to support waste management companies and municipalities that use automated side loaders for garbage collection. Drop frames are also sometimes needed for motor coach applications. This modification is available on several commercial truck models.
Wheelbase Changes
Whether you need to repurpose a stock truck for a specific application or change the wheelbase to something other than what the factory offers, we have the capability to change the truck’s wheelbase to accommodate your needs.
Front Frame Extension
The bolt-on front frame extension allows flexibility to add plows, FEPTO, or hose reel mounts without upgrading to a chassis with an integral frame extension. This keeps the cab closer to the ground and improves driver visibility.
Suspensions
We install a variety of Air and Hydraulic ride suspensions from manufacturers such as LiquidSpring.
Pintle Hitches
Our coupling solutions include off-the-shelf pintle hooks and custom designed reinforcement plates for the heaviest applications.
