In the mid 1970’s, John R. Long Sr.
was looking for a chassis manufacturer that would help
design and build a chassis that could haul more weight.
The bulk of our business was hauling heavy products. With
conventional 20’ chassis available you had a hard time
scaling 26,000#. The 40’ chassis available was also lacking
in design. John R. Long Sr. found Pratt Industries. Together
they came up with a design that would help us haul a higher
payload in a 20’ container than any other chassis on the
market. This model became know as the CC26/33. Which simply
stood for “container chassis” that stretched from 26’ to
33’.
Model CC26/33-B is a 26' Tandem axle Container
Chassis with a 7' extendable slider to extend from, 26'
to 33' for maximum cargo weight of 41,500#.
Our custom-designed and built 20' slider
is the best for our application. It offers the best payload
for the money. A standard 20' Pool Chassis has a payload
rating of 38,000#. Our 20' slider has a payload
rating of 41,500#. Clearly an advantage if you have weight-sensitive
product moving in 20' containers.
