Mack Defense announced it has been awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract from the General Services Administration (GSA) for Mack Granite model chassis, which will be modified with wrecker and carrier bodies from a separate agency. Completed vehicles will be supplied to military and federal civilian customers.
The GSA contract extends through Nov. 30, 2015, with option periods for renewal through March 31, 2017.
“These wreckers and carriers, some with a capacity of up to 60 tons, face tough, demanding conditions every day,” says Ryan Werling, president of Mack Defense. “With its rugged, durable frame and proven power from the Mack MP8 engine, the Mack Granite serves as the perfect foundation for these recovery vehicles.”
