Spartan Chassis, Inc., a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc.
(Nasdaq:SPAR), will join the RV industry at the 51st Annual
National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., Dec. 3-5. Spartan
Chassis will display its K3 and Mountain Master GT chassis and
feature several innovations during the event held in the Kentucky
Expo Center (Booth #5320 – West Wing).
"Since 1985, Spartan Chassis has developed significant
technological innovations that have changed the RV industry," said
Art Ickes, President of the Specialty Vehicles business unit,
Spartan Chassis. "Throughout the years, the demand for Spartan
Chassis has continued to remain strong as owners value the
innovations Spartan has and continues to develop. In 2013, we saw a
strong increase in the number of prospective Class A diesel
motorhome owners requesting a Spartan Chassis."
Spartan will feature a 24,000 lbs. drive axle as well as welcome
Fogmaker North America into the RV market. The Reyco Granning
RD2400 drive axle is designed to take advantage of recent changes
in Federal Highway Administration laws that allow the use of a
single rear axle rated at 24,000 lbs. weight capacity. The RD2400
eliminates torque induced drive line grumble which further extends
the product's life-cycle.
Fogmaker North America delivers fire suppression systems for
engine compartments and enclosed spaces utilizing a patented water
mist technology. This system extinguishes fire by targeting the
three components (oxygen, fuel and heat). The system is
environmentally friendly and cleanup after activation is simple and
fast.
The goal at Spartan Chassis is to provide its end-users with an
exceptional RV experience, no matter the destination, duty-cycle or
configuration. To achieve that, Spartan consistently drives
innovation that improves maneuverability, ride quality and coach
handling to name a few. Spartan's OEM customers recognize the
company and its ability to design, engineer and manufacture the
Premier Foundation.
The demand for motorhomes built on a Spartan Chassis has
increased 21.5% year-over-year from 2012 to 2013. Spartan Chassis'
unit volume this year outperforms the Class A diesel market by over
six percentage points. Spartan custom manufactures chassis to the
individual specifications of Entegra Coach, Newmar Corporation and
Tiffin Motorhomes.
The National RV Trade Show presented by the Recreation Vehicle
Industry Association (RVIA) is the preeminent trade show for the RV
dealer market, annually showcasing the latest RV technology and new
models. According to RVIA Today, a Recreation Vehicle Industry
Association newsletter, the show is expected to draw nearly 8,000
manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, and other industry
representatives to the Kentucky Expo Center.
