Fontaine introduces auto hauler conversion for Kenworth T880 and W990 Sleeper Cabs

Sep 06, 2024

Conversion lowers roof by 21 inches for car carrier convenience

Fontaine Modification expands its extensive auto hauler offering with a new conversion for Kenworth T880 and W990 76-inch mid-roof sleeper cabs. The conversion lowers the truck’s overall height to 105 inches to accommodate a car carrier trailer of the customer’s choice.

Fontaine has engineered car carrier modifications for leading truck manufacturers for more than 20 years. This is the first auto hauler modification the company has developed for Kenworth models.

Like all Fontaine auto hauler modifications, the Kenworth designs deliver factory fit and finish. Completed trucks meet FMVSS regulations.

“When it comes to vehicle transport, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We thoroughly engineer, document and test our modifications so customers can rest assured that they’ll deliver lasting quality,” says Harrison Letchworth, Fontaine Modification vocational sales manager. “We applied our decades of experience and expertise to develop new auto hauler modifications for these popular Kenworth trucks.”

For the auto hauler conversion, Fontaine lowers the truck height by 21 inches to deliver an overall height of 105 inches. The final cab height depends on vehicle specifications including wheel, tire or frame options. Consult your truck dealer sales representative or OEM application engineer for details and recommendations on chassis specifications.

The Kenworth Auto Transport Modification is performed on new trucks as part of Fontaine’s ship-thru agreement with Kenworth, so the process is seamless and cost-effective for customers.
