The trucking industry has dozens of standard truck chassis from different brands. While these chassis are sufficient in most cases, there is a demand for customized truck chassis tailored to specific applications where standard models are not enough.
To meet this demand, there is Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc., a company made up of a team of experts who not only know the standard specifications of your current truck chassis, but also know how to modify and equip it according to your needs for optimal use.
These types of modifications require engineering expertise and collaborative work. Our structural engineers use the latest state-of-the-art tools while working in tandem with the original truck manufacturer. This ensures the success of the entire project, from start to finish, without compromising your truck chassis warranty.
From planning to execution, our dedicated staff working on your project will explore the feasibility of different personalization strategies and design possibilities that will simply leave you speechless.
Whether it involves engineering processes, welding, or finishing, the team at Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc. will perform quality control throughout the conversion process. This is a crucial step in the entire process, ensuring that you receive a solid and safe final product that is capable of performing the desired functions.
At Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc., we are equipped to perform certain complex modifications directly on our premises, such as changing the length of the chassis and increasing its load capacity. With a longer truck chassis, you can benefit from a new configuration that can accommodate a cargo box or a longer wheelbase that can hold a trailing axle.
Regardless of the modifications made to the length of the chassis, rest assured that we always take care to maintain your truck’s suspension for optimal performance.
We specialize in modifying truck chassis according to engineering specifications, with approval when necessary. We modify chassis lengths to adapt vehicles to new applications. Converting a straight body into a dump truck, a six-wheel vehicle into a ten-wheel vehicle, or a single axle into a double axle (from 10 to 12 wheels) is part of our expertise.
Example of the steps required to modify a truck chassis:
Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc. also specializes in repairing frames after breakage, perforation, or cracking. Cutting, welding, reinforcement: we consolidate, align, and repair damaged frames. We can also repair and weld rear axle housings.
To increase the load capacity or change the class of your heavy truck, consider adjusting the chassis configuration and adding wheels (from 6 to 10). This is a service we have been providing for years.
Structural engineering changes to the differential are other complex tasks that fall within our area of expertise. By changing the differential ratio, you can achieve higher top speeds with better fuel economy and/or faster acceleration.
Depending on the load and topography, you will have the option of using a little more fuel in order to pull a heavier load. Thanks to this new acceleration power, you will maintain your stability on sloping roads.
No matter what type of modification, conversion, or repair you need done to your truck chassis, our professional team of experts will take care of all your trucking needs, with your best interests at heart!
