Freightliner Trucks is now offering twin steer chassis prep kits for its 114SD and 122SD truck models. The prep kits will serve to quickly facilitate aftermarket conversions and installation of second steer axle and heavy-duty suspensions, resulting in faster delivery to the customer.

Freightliner Trucks has partnered with Baie-Saint-Paul PQ, Canada-based Simard Suspensions to offer the turnkey solution ideal for heavy-duty applications such as crane, dump, wrecker, mixing, logging, fuel hauling and oilfield hauling to provide a comfortable and reliable ride. Severe duty twin steer chassis provides a stable platform for increased truck efficiency and performance.

“To provide a simplified transition from factory to conversion, we developed a cost-effective and timely process that still allows for customization,” says Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks. “We are responding to our customers’ needs by providing a streamlined solution that will get them on the job as fast as possible.” 

Twin steer chassis are just one of many options available for the Freightliner Trucks line of severe duty products. The Freightliner Trucks severe duty line features tough trucks that are dependable, efficient, and built to withstand the most challenging of vocational applications.
