Direct ChassisLink Inc. has introduced its premium pool into the Chicago market, expanding the equipment footprint beyond Southern California.

The newest location is located near the Canadian National Railway’s intermodal terminal in Harvey, Ill.

The equipment includes radial tires and LED lights.

“With often long and expensive drays to retrieve chassis equipment in the Chicago market, our customers demand more convenient options,” said Ryan Houfek, chief commercial officer with DCLI. “IPPZ Chicago gives customers access to another chassis choice in one of the busiest inland locations in the country. Launching this new pool now will help relieve some of the peak-season pressure on the system.”

The daily rental rate is $21.50, a rate that went into effect July 1.
