Link Manufacturing, Ltd. has been recognized by Spartan Motors, Inc. during its 11th annual Supplier Conference in Charlotte, Mich. in March.
Link received the Mechanical Engineering Outstanding Supplier Support award for partnering in the development of a new Link UltraRide Chassis Air Suspension for a Spartan Chassis Low-Floor Kneeling Bus.
According to Link, the chassis equipped with its front and rear UltraRide air-ride suspension, addresses one of the challenges of public transportation, maneuvering wheelchairs on to buses. Vehicles equipped with this four corner UltraRide system enable the bus to kneel to load wheelchairs – thereby eliminating the need for steps and traditional wheelchair lifts, the company says.
