Mechanics Trucks Get Lighter, Smarter, Safer: Innovative materials, advanced crane controls and telematics technology provide unique solutions to make your technicians more productive

摘要

This year, we witnessed several innovations in the mechanics truck market that could have a big impact on how you spec trucks. Weight remains a critical concern as every pound saved on the actual truck spec translates into another pound of available payload. "Weight reduction allows operators to carry more tools and/or reduce the wear on truck components such as brakes. It also limits the chance of getting overweight tickets," says Tim Davison, senior product manager, Stellar Industries.
