We’re talking durability that ensures your fleet’s always ready when called upon.
At Gabriel®, we know not every shock hauls over perfectly paved roads. With our FleetLine® 85000 series, your fleet will stand up to whatever the road throws at it. That’s because they’re equipped with a larger 1 5/8” bore so you can be confident you’ll always have the durability you need when the going gets tough.
Designed and built so that class 6-8 trucks, buses and trailers can push the limits of longevity and performance, our 85000 series is as resistant and rugged a shock as they come. With a larger bore, bulged design6, and a pressurized, floating piston seal, the FleetLine 85000 series delivers the kind of unrelenting strength, reduced fade and impressive performance your fleet can always count on.
