Spartan Chassis said its record orders over the first quarter reflect the Company's continued ability to significantly grow market share over the last two years, thanks in large part to solid dealer and OEM support. The chassis orders included a broad range of Spartan products, but were driven in large part to increased orders of its Gladiator and new Gladiator Evolution trucks.
"We continue to see momentum in orders and bid activity in this quarter and expect it to continue following the FDIC show, where we are showcasing additional product features and technology," said Rich Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis. "Our chassis will be on display on 25 different fire trucks at the FDIC show floor, a clear indication of the momentum of Spartan Chassis in the market and our continued product and service excellence."
