Freightliner Displays an Impressive "Mix" of Hard-Working Trucks at World of Concrete

Freightliner Trucks jump started the new year at World of Concrete, the annual international event designed specifically for commercial concrete and masonry professionals, in Las Vegas Feb. 3-6. The innovative Freightliner display allowed attendees the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and get familiar with the newest mixer equipment and trends that will drive improved Real Cost of Ownership^℠ for their businesses.

Visitors to the Freightliner booth (C-5527) had access to a variety of mixers for evaluation including:

• 114SD Chassis/Cab with Simard Twin-Steer System: Freightliner partnered with Simard Suspensions of Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, to offer a turnkey solution that's ideal for heavy duty applications such as crane, dump, wrecker, mixing and logging. Providing a comfortable and reliable ride, the severe duty twin-steer chassis offers a stable platform for increased truck efficiency and performance.
• 114SD Set-Back Front Axle Truck with Beck Industrial Mixer—114SD: The 114SD SBA features a lightweight, yet durable steel-reinforced aluminum cab with a 48-inch bumper-to-front-axle setting for optimized weight distribution and turning ability for more productive ready-mix operations.
