FleetPulse Standard
Gone are the days of lost trailers and lost time. FleetPulse, now standard on all Great Dane Champion trailers, trades in a reactive approach to equipment maintenance for a proactive one. Upgrading to FleetPulsePRO allows fleets to monitor ABS fault codes, tire pressure, open door status, rear axle weight, and so much more.
More for Your Floor
Any champion will tell you that winning starts with a solid foundation. Our Champion line of dry vans rely on that same truth by offering a hardwood—and hardworking—floor that is built for success. Laminated and secured using an alternating screw pattern in key, high-stress areas, the floor of a Champion is as strong as it is durable. Built to last, built like a champion.
We’ve Got Your Back
This end is just the beginning. Champion features Great Dane’s own EnduroGuard rear frame—the next step in enhanced durability and corrosion protection. This structurally superior rear frame keeps your trailer looking good and performing better by resisting discoloration and denting alike.
