Cost-Saving Specifications to Cut Construction-Truck Weight to Haul More Payload

There are many alternatives to expensive aluminum components which can help cut construction-truck costs and weight at the same time, without sacrificing durability

The frame is a good place to start when shaving weight. Because most frame strength lies in the flanges, Volvo Trucks North America uses 3.54- and 4.13-in. flanges rather than a typical industry-standard flange of 3.25 in. to increase the frame’s strength. Larger flanges positioned farther apart result in a higher RBM.
