BPW Trailer Systems India Pvt. Ltd. (BPW) has been making the right noises with its hauling trailer systems for 18-wheelers. The company has leveraged expertise in the trailer systems like the two-axle suspension, and Electronic Braking System (EBS) kit to suspensions and telematics on the other end of the spectrum according to Nagaraj Ubale, Director Technical, BPW Trailer Systems India Pvt. Ltd. In a testimony to the company’s capability of offering individual components and fully coordinated running gear systems with equal ease, the company has supplied to Hindalco’s Maxloader showcased at the recently concluded Truck, Trailer and Tyres expo in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The latter is known to be an all aluminium truck body made from Hindalco’s extruded profiles. Hindalco is known to have selected the BPW hauling trailer system for its optimum stability and load-bearing capability of 50-tonnes, claimed Ubale.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION WITH LIFT AXLE

Designed to meet Indian duty cycles, the pneumatic suspension with lift axle is claimed to be ideal for heavy loads. The SL suspension line is designed for heavy axle loads, off-road, or arduous duty cycle applications. It is claimed to be low-maintenance courtesy of the U-bolt clamping mechanism that sits between the suspension components and the axle. It uses a 100 mm wide spring steel trailing arm basis and can handle axle loads of up to 14-tonnes in both single and twin leaf variants. The square beam axle is made up of 16 mm.
