Authors Abstract
Content
Increasing payloads on trucks and trailers, together with changing legislation for vehicle carrying capacities, are creating demand for trailers with multiple axles and widespread suspensions. The Self-Steering Axle eliminates tire scuffing on tight turns negotiated by these vehicles. It is a non-powered, self-centering axle that operates by natural trailing geometry and road friction.
