“There’s a high demand for these new chassis today, and IMT now offers a hydraulic crane and air compressor option,” said Tim Worman, product manager of commercial vehicles for IMT, which manufactures mechanics trucks, lube trucks, telescopic cranes and articulating cranes. “Before, customers who wanted the new Dodge Ram or Sterling Bullet were limited to electric cranes, but because of IMT’s innovation and commitment to our customers’ needs, hydraulics are now available as an additional option.”

IMT has been selling Dominator DSC20 and Dominator I service bodies with electric telescopic cranes mounted on these Class 4 and 5 chassis since their introduction in 2007. “The electrical integration with the Dodge Ram and Sterling Bullet chassis did not allow for simple operation of high-idle or remote start/stop,” Worman said. “So the engineers at IMT took this challenge and faced it head-on.”
