A company out of Florida teamed up with a selection of engineers, mechanics, a former Daimler-Chrysler designer, and a number of suppliers to develop a vehicle specifically used for a rural application.  Rj Link International was one of the suppliers chosen to participate in the project.   Below are some of the challenges that existed with the application:

• Space Constraints
• Weight Constraints
• Powertrain system integration
• Stringent noise requirements

Rj Link’s Engineering team offered a right angle gearbox, and a drop box to solve the existing challenges.  Custom applications like this continue to be the basis for Rj Link’s reputation as a custom gearbox solution provider in the Power Transmission Market.
