Kenosha Truck Parts has entered a distribution agreement with Takler USA, a truck parts supplier, to enhance its product distribution and offerings in North America. Kenosha said the collaboration marks a step forward in addressing the industry needs for the distribution of essential safety equipment such as side guards for trucks, along with a wide range of ingress and egress solutions.

Mandatory Requirements for Truck Side Guards

With the introduction of mandatory requirements for truck side guards in major cities like New York and Chicago, Kenosha Truck Parts will take on the crucial role of distributing Takler’s high-quality side guards. These products are essential for protecting fuel tanks and reducing the risk of side impacts.

Preventing Ingress & Egress Injuries

The partnership comes at a pivotal time when the industry faces increasing insurance and liability challenges, particularly related to ingress and egress injuries, which are the number one source of insurance claims in the sector. By incorporating Takler’s advanced ingress and egress solutions into its portfolio, Kenosha Truck Parts is poised to provide comprehensive safety solutions to fleets and dealers, significantly reducing the risk of falls and related incidents.

Partnership Expands Takler’s Distribution

“Until now, Takler has had limited distribution in the United States,” said Jerimiah Gilmore, customer service manager at Kenosha Truck Parts. “This collaboration is not just about growth for Kenosha but also about supporting a new supplier in the North American market. It expands our brand beyond just suspensions, offering growth opportunities for our customers and contributing to enhanced safety standards in the industry.”

Rebranding as Kenosha Truck Parts

The recent rebranding from Kenosha Suspension to Kenosha Truck Parts underscores the company’s commitment to broadening its product and service offerings beyond suspensions. The company has added well-known brands to its product lineup including ContiTech, Gabriel, Westpor,t and Link Mfg. It now also offers air springs, suspension controls, shock absorbers, steering components, tire pressure monitoring systems, and loading ramps.

 Kenosha Truck Parts said this strategic move allows it to cater to a more extensive range of customer needs. The company will continue to serve its entire North American customer base with same-day shipping for in-stock items.
