If you work in intermodal freight, you already know your chassis is the backbone of your operation. Here’s a breakdown of critical chassis components and their functions.
- Twist Locks – Secure the shipping container to the chassis.
- Landing Gear – Stabilizes the chassis when not attached to a truck.
- Suspension System – Maintains ride stability and absorbs road shock.
- Brake System – Includes drums, shoes, and air lines to stop safely.
- Lighting & Wiring – Ensures compliance with DOT regulations and visibility.
Maintaining these components not only prevents breakdowns but also avoids costly DOT violations. Able Truck Parts offers durable replacements for every major chassis system.
