Greg Taylor who leads their WheelLab research arm explains; “Value-added, value-engineered technology isn’t just about throwing more steel at the chassis – we look at chassis requirements from several perspectives from one end of the engineering, production and supply process to the other.”

He continued; “We believe the I-Beam is structurally the strongest available in the market in terms of load-bearing capacity, and what’s also notable is that the way this new version is designed and assembled means that the fully-galvanised option is now more accessible than ever, offering high-corrosion resistance. That makes it the ultimate option for longevity and strength for today’s increasingly advanced park homes and lodges, giving peace of mind to those in coastal locations where corrosion could be an issue.”

New construction methods have also allowed the Park Home I-Beam to be transported in quantity, helping to reduce costs with a win-win outcome for both Gateway Chassis Solutions and the manufacturers they supply.

A KEY SELLING POINT AND PEACE OF MIND FOR THE CUSTOMER

Managing Director Chris Ramsden commented; “Unsurprisingly the uptake for the new Park Home I-Beam has been strong since we soft-launched it earlier this year as by nature it is designed to deliver the strength and durability ideally needed for the intended location without adding unnecessary cost to the price of the home or lodge.  

He continued; “Our painted Park Home I-Beam offers a cost-effective solution to this weightier segment of the market. In the case of the fully galvanised Park Home I-Beam option, as manufacturers will be able to offer that at a more accessible price than ever, that could add a key selling point for the home or lodge in coastal locations. For the home buyer, it gives peace of mind knowing that the unseen element of their home is built to the same high standards as the home or lodge itself; that’ it’s more than capable in terms of strength, and will last longer without needing attention.”

 With manufacturers constantly pushing the boundaries of quality and design, giving the customer the choice of the optimum chassis for the way their home is built and the location without adding undue cost is bound to appeal to all buyers; manufacturer, park and customer. That’s at the core of Gateway Chassis Solutions’ ethos and that’s ably demonstrated by the arrival of these intuitively-engineered Park Home I-Beam chassis options, which look like a significant step forward for the industry; both on price and capability.
