Steering Conversions

Our steering conversions allow trucks to be operated from the left or right side of the vehicle to improve visibility with curb-side operations. Appropriate controls to operate the truck are relocated to a centralized location for easy access. The applications for this modification include street sweeping, refuse, leaf and debris removal, highway paint striping, and pesticide spraying.

Fontaine’s “Plan First” approach to engineering means:

  • All designs meet FMVSS, DOT, and EPA compliance standards.
  • Many structural designs are fully patented.
  • Electrical wiring changes fit well into the OEM’s factory harness designs.
  • All changes blend well into the truck manufacturer’s existing design,
  • All trucks in a fleet get a consistent, high-quality result.
