Dedicated frame-work and upfitting shop

Make the chassis fit the job.

Axle rolling and frame stretching are separate standalone services. Standard will perform either job even when you plan to source the body, equipment, or truck somewhere else.

SERVICE 01Axle rolling / relocationStandalone service. Source the body from Standard, somewhere else, or not at all.
SERVICE 02Frame stretchingStandalone service. Source the body from Standard, somewhere else, or not at all.

Independent frame services

Your chassis. Your application. Our frame work.

Axle rolling / relocation

Rolling an axle changes the axle position and wheelbase without treating the work as a frame stretch. Standard will roll or relocate an axle for your separate application even if you plan to source the body somewhere else.

Frame stretching

Stretching a frame is a different job used when a compatible chassis needs additional frame length. It is evaluated, quoted, and performed separately from axle rolling. Standard will stretch the frame even if you plan to source the body somewhere else.

Body mounting and upfitting

When a complete upfit is needed, we can establish the required cab-to-axle, body clearance, load placement, and overall fit. That service is available whether the body comes from Standard, an exclusive manufacturing relationship, another manufacturer, or the customer.

Every project is reviewed for chassis compatibility, axle placement, driveline and component clearances, frame condition, body geometry, and the intended application before work begins.
