Stable framework conditions

The chassis of a truck is also called body and framework. A truck chassis is the bearing vehicle part. In contrast to a self-supporting bodywork like in a car are gear, motor, wheel suspension and the coupling device in a truck fixed on the chassis.
The truck chassis consists out of steel while in motorcycles is also aluminum used. The ladder frame is the kind of the cassis which is used for trucks. The name comes from the appearance of the frame which looks like a ladder. It consists of two longitudinal beams which have crossbars in between. Since all-steel bodies are introduced, the soft ladder frame developed to a more rigid box frame.

The ladder frame carries the whole weight and the strain which occurs while driving. The body is attached on the chassis. In former times the chassis consisted out of wood which did not provide much protection for the load and the occupants. After that metal were used for the construction of truck bodies.
Normal standard chassis offer stable and reliable constructions for maximizing the payload. They are very resistant and have a long life. There are different kinds of frameworks depending on their purpose. Standard chassis cover nearly all applications in long distance freight. When the load exceeds the permissible total weight a reinforced chassis is required.
Different specializations of frameworks are able to cover every task in long – and short distance freight and in construction traffic.
