NSM certified, Cottrill has the experience and knowledge to shorten or lengthen your truck’s wheelbase to meet your exact vocational requirements. Our team can modify the chassis to properly accommodate specialized truck bodies, equipment, and load capacities while maintaining correct weight distribution, stability, and handling on the road.
A properly configured wheelbase helps optimize load balance, improve maneuverability, and ensure the truck performs safely and efficiently for its intended application.
