In 1971 Chalmers Suspensions International Inc. identified the need for a superior suspension system designed to suit the ever changing needs of the Transportation Industry. Since its inception, Chalmers has successfully established itself as a company with an excellent product line designed to meet the industry needs for a unique suspension system with characteristics designed to provide excellent performance and value. Over the past forty years, Chalmers has experienced outstanding growth in the truck and trailer markets in North America. Chalmers primary success was experienced in the penetration and growth for many applications in the trailer market. However, the many positive features, advantages and benefits of the Chalmers suspensions were soon realized and the truck suspension market began to demand the need for a superior suspension for truck applications. Chalmers positive reputation for its suspensions is based on its many advantages and features such as:
- Lightweight
- High stability
- Excellent articulation
- Smooth ride
- Full equalization
- Minimum maintenance
These features allowed excellent penetration into major OEM truck manufacturers including Daimler, Paccar, Kenworth, and Peterbilt, Volvo, Navistar, Western Star, Mack, and all major Fire Truck, Street Sweepers and Utility chassis manufacturers throughout North America. Further, Chalmers has been successful in positioning itself in entering and developing new markets overseas such as, the Middle East, South / Central America, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. As the reputation of Chalmers Suspensions grew, so did the demand. The Chalmers system continued to evolve and branch itself out into all vocations of the truck and trailer business. Chalmers had proven itself to be a leader in the industry for applications such as:
- Dump
- Mixers
- Tankers
- Refuse
- Logging
- Sweepers
When the niche market opportunities began to increase and unfold, Chalmers made major inroads in the ready mix, oil field, and airport refuelling markets. Chalmers was becoming the #1 supplier of suspensions for the sweeper vehicle industry and today commands the majority of the suspension business within this market segment. Chalmers major strengths are not limited to its product line.
