"Freightliner Trucks," the historic Portland, US-based industrial vehicle company now owned by automotive giant Daimler, is best known for being one of the leading manufacturers of tractor-trailers used in road transportation. However, it is also important to remember the prevalence and success that freightliners for "heavy-duty" applications have achieved over time. The quarry vehicle market experienced strong growth in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which affected the production volumes of major truck and heavy vehicle manufacturers. Freightliner's designers worked on the most appropriate technical solutions to meet the needs of the construction market: reinforced chassis and rear axles for greater load strength, folding platforms featuring high strength, engines and transmissions optimized for demanding loads and steep climbs.
