bullhusk Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Have any of you guys had any experience with Chalmers susp. On a tractor? I know they work pretty good on the dumps and mixers, there are a couple a Petes for sale that were used in the oil fields they are geared for about 70 mph but I will be using them local in an out of NYC an Jersey so speed is no worry, but the suspension I am not to sure about? Any help would be good!Thanks BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37520-chalmers-suspension/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 nice and strong! we have dumps and log trucks using it around here, with no problems, the ride is some where between camel back and Hendrickson pad. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37520-chalmers-suspension/#findComment-264798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 A few of Quadozzi's mixers run it. Seems to be very low maintenance and strong.

Bigdogtrucker Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've driven a few dumps with them,they were FAR more rough riding empty than camelback or the Hendricksons I drove.

2stacksuperdog Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Company we work for has it in all of their Pete triaxles. Seem to like them. Did a lot of off-road work with them.

blackdog2 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 There was a company out of Mass. called Petroleum carries red r- models with chalmers and disc brakes. When the CHs came out Mack had given them a truck with same spec s to try and weed out the flaws. There tanks also had chalmers no maintenance!
