Industry Event Roundup
Mack Trucks is taking a more proactive
approach to its relationship with body
builders, the company said at the Work
Truck Show in Indianapolis in March.
Curtis Dorwart, refuse marketing
product manager for Mack, noted that
truck chassis have grown increasingly
complicated since the 2007 introduction
of DPF systems, followed by SCR tech-
nology and, more recently, the develop-
ment of natural gas technology.
"These guys need a place to get an-
swers," Dorwart says. "It's not like it was
years ago: you drilled a couple of holes or
you moved a component around. There
are some things we really don't want
them to move."
So Mack is making its Body Builder
Manuals available as free downloads, a
key step in the expanded support for the
body-building community coming this
year.
The documents, found under the
"Parts and Services" tab of Mack's
website, offers general chassis infor-
mation for Mack models, including
the Mack Pinnacle, Mack Granite and
Mack TerraPro models, built from 2010
through the present.
