CHASSIS topThe chassis is the structural framework that forms the foundation of every vehicle. It supports the engine, tires, and other essential components, ensuring stability, durability, and optimal performance.
Our company has a long-standing history in chassis manufacturing, particularly during the late 1990s when San Pablo City was recognized as a prominent center for Filipino-made vehicles, notably jeepneys. During this period, our production facility operated around the clock, manufacturing no fewer than 1,000 chassis units per month to meet the high demand. Although the influx of surplus vehicles from Southeast Asia has impacted local production, our chassis continue to serve vehicles across the Philippines, including remote areas such as Batanes. Each of our units is distinctly marked with an identification number starting with "MAR", ensuring authenticity and traceability. |
WHY BUY FROM US? top |
At Sheehan Inc., our chassis are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability. Manufactured with 100% machine-aided precision, we are able to mass produce our products without compromising performance or reliability.
Our chassis are designed with several key advantages: Extended Tire Life Engineered for superior balance, our chassis evenly distribute weight, reducing tire wear and the need for frequent replacements. Unmatched Durability With proper adherence to the recommended loading capacity, our chassis are guaranteed to last up to 10 years. Superior Load Capacity Our chassis can handle 150% more weight than standard competitor models, ensuring enhanced performance under heavy loads. Reinforced for Strength Weak points are strategically reinforced to eliminate vulnerabilities, maximizing strength and longevity. Corrosion Resistance Each chassis is coated with a specially engineered chemical paint that protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring lasting quality even in harsh conditions. With Sheehan Inc., you can rely on a chassis that combines strength, stability, and long-term performance — the ideal foundation for your vehicle needs. |
In a 2012 report by the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Sheehan Inc. was recognized as the only company in the country that manufactures chassis using advanced machine-aided processes.
While other manufacturers rely on manually assembled construction materials — or worse, merely label frames they haven't even produced — Sheehan Inc. remains committed to quality and precision. Consider this: would you trust a poorly assembled frame as the backbone of your vehicle? Such inferior chassis often require replacement within three years, leading to costly repairs and potential issues with LTO registration. By choosing Sheehan Inc., you're investing in a durable, reliable, and high-performance chassis designed to withstand the test of time. Don’t compromise on safety and quality — choose Sheehan Inc. for unmatched strength and reliability. |
VEHICLES SUPPORTED top
Sheehan Inc. manufactures chassis that supports Filipino designed vehicles: owners, jeeps, elfs and forwards. Also, the company manufactures chassis for these international best-sellers: Tamaraw FX, Mitsubishi L300, XLT, AUV, Ford Fierra and Isuzu KB.
OWNER product description topThe design of our chassis traces its roots to the vehicles used by American forces during their occupation of the Philippines less than a century ago. When these vehicles were sold to Filipinos as the Americans departed, they became a foundation for locally manufactured vehicles.
Today, while the classic look remains largely unchanged, advancements in engineering have significantly improved performance, durability, and safety. Sheehan Inc. offers a diverse selection of over 60 chassis models for this iconic vehicle type. Our prices range from ₱11,000 to ₱14,000, depending on size and quality. Each unit is crafted to deliver strength, stability, and long-term reliability, ensuring you get the best value for your investment. |
JEEP (JEEPNEY) product description topThe iconic Philippine jeepney is a well-known symbol of local culture and ingenuity. Originating from the design of the "owner" vehicle, jeepneys are modified to extend the section behind the driver's seat, allowing them to carry anywhere from 6 to 40 passengers.
Sheehan Inc. specializes in manufacturing durable and reliable chassis designed specifically for jeepneys. Our selection includes over 30 models that can accommodate between 14 to 34 passengers. Our jeepney chassis are available in a range of sizes and quality levels, with prices starting from ₱20,000 to ₱35,000. Each unit is engineered for strength, stability, and long-lasting performance, ensuring your vehicle meets both passenger demands and road challenges. |
The Elf is the most common pickup truck in the Philippines, widely used for transporting goods. Typically, a metal container is fitted on its back to secure and protect cargo. To distinguish the Elf from its larger counterpart, the Forward, the key difference lies in its length — with 95% of Elf trucks measuring between 15 to 26 feet.
Sheehan Inc. manufactures robust and reliable chassis designed specifically for Elf trucks, offering over 40 models to suit various needs. Our chassis options range from 15 feet to 24 feet in length, with prices starting from ₱40,000 to ₱60,000, depending on size and build quality. Built for strength, durability, and performance, our chassis ensures your Elf truck can handle heavy loads while maintaining stability and longevity. |
FORWARD product description topThe Forward truck is the larger counterpart of the Elf, designed to handle heavier and bulkier cargo. Unlike the Elf, most Forward trucks do not have a fixed roof over their cargo area. Instead, cargo is typically covered with thick sheets and secured with ropes for weather protection. Some Forward trucks are also equipped with cranes behind the driver’s cabin to facilitate easier loading and unloading of heavy materials.
Sheehan Inc. offers durable chassis specifically designed for Forward trucks, with sizes ranging from 24 feet to 35 feet. We provide a variety of options (5+ models) to suit your vehicle’s specifications. Prices range from ₱90,000 to ₱150,000, depending on the size and quality of the chassis. Our Forward truck chassis are engineered for strength, stability, and longevity, ensuring optimal performance under demanding conditions. |
OTHER SUPPORTED VEHICLES top
Sheehan Inc. also manufactures chassis for the following utility vehicles (clockwise, starting from upper-left): Ford Fierra, Mistubishi L300, Tamaraw FX, XLT, Isuzu KB and AUV.

The chassis of these vehicles are standard, you just need to give us the model of the vehicle and we can deliver the chassis to you. Additionally, the company could also customize its design to fit those utility vehicles not found on the list, but you need to send the vehicle here to make sure that the chassis would fit.
