CHASSIS top
Chassis stocks.
The chassis is the steel frame that holds an automobile together. This is where the engines, tires and all other necessary accessories are attached for regular vehicle operation.
The company's flagship product is chassis. It used to operate 24 hours a day in the late 1990's, the time when San Pablo City used to produce the most number of Filipino made vehicles (mostly jeepneys) in the country.
However, chassis sales have gone down due to importation of surplus vehicles coming from southeast Asia. At its peak, the company used to manufacture no less than 1000 units monthly. It is common to see our chassis on vehicles even in remote areas in the Philippines like Batanes. Our chassis have identification numbers that starts with "MAR". If you want to purchase the vehicle as a whole, please contact our partner vehicle assemblers. If the chassis you want does not appear on this page, don't hesitate to contact us, because we can manufacture it to your specifications.

Non-manufactured chassis.
Report (October 2012) - According to the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Sheehan Inc. is the only company that manufactures its chassis using machines. Other manufacturers use plain construction materials manually assembled together to form a frame, there are even manufacturers who just labels chassis they don't even create.
This image is what those labeled chassis looks like. Seriously, would you even consider having this as the skeleton of your vehicle? In 3 years you might have it replaced, which will cost you. Adding to that, you might have problems registering the chassis to LTO.
