The truck weldment uses formed-channel sides and structural steel plates complete with welded girder pads and end plates, forming a rigid u-shaped structure. In addition, the wheels are solid forged steel , heat treated with a hardness of 220-250 BHN, rotating two sealed, lifetime-lubricated ball bearings ensuring smooth, reliable operation.
