Accuride’s ROLLiant Hub System Standard at CIMC Intermodal Equipment

LONG BEACH, Calif. – September 17, 2018 – Accuride Corporation – a leading supplier of wheel end systems to the global commercial vehicle industry – announced today that its long-life KIC®-brand ROLLiant™ hub system will be introduced at the IANA Intermodal Expo 2018 as a standard hub on CIMC Intermodal Equipment’s 2019 Premium Spec Chassis. This new chassis from CIMC Intermodal Equipment will be the intermodal industry’s longest-lasting high-end standard spec chassis and carry the longest warranty thanks, in part, to the 10-year warranty on the ROLLiant™ hub system.

“We’re honored to provide the industry-first 10-year hub system warranty for the CIMC Intermodal Equipment 2019 Premium Spec Chassis,” said John Schneider, President, Accuride Wheel End Solutions. “We developed ROLLiant in response to industry demand for an affordable hub system that was easy to install and maintain. We wanted to ensure it could last the life of a range of applications, including intermodal trailers. This has been a great opportunity to work with CIMC Intermodal to make ROLLiant more widely available to the intermodal segment.”

ROLLiant™ is the industry’s first long-life, low maintenance hub system to come with a 10-year warranty. The technology has been designed for North American commercial vehicle fleets seeking long-life hub performance, and truck and trailer OEMs who want to simplify wheel end installation and boost throughput during assembly. Accuride introduced the technology at the 2017 North American Commercial Vehicle Show. Since then, ROLLiant™ has continued to gain traction with OEMs and fleets looking for a dependable, long-lasting, extended-warranty hub system for their equipment.

The ROLLiant™ System Includes: 

  • Precision-machined hub with fill port for easy lubrication.
  • Pre-installed ROLLiant™ extended bearing cones
  • Bearing cups installed
  • Factory-installed seal
  • Spindle nut system
  • Hubcap and gasket
  • Patent-pending packaging maintains Accuride’s stringent hub cleanliness standards.

Industry-Leading Warranty

ROLLiant’s innovative design features and integrated components enable Accuride to offer as standard an industry-leading 10-year warranty for trailer applications and a 7-year warranty for trucks.
