The Stability You Need. The Ride You Want.
The SWB (Spring Walking Beam) tandem steer suspension provides the added carrying capacity required in today’s heavy trucking industry. The suspension dynamically load equalizes through its spring over walking beam design. The combination ensures proper weight distribution and minimizes individual axle overload scenarios.
The 40K SWB Suspension is specifically designed to make use of the reliability of Link’s steer axle specific walking beams, while simplifying the connection to the frame. The spring mounts are readily available spring pins which simplifies maintenance and replacement. The straightforward simplicity in the design makes it easy to maintain by operators and fleet mechanics.
Overall, drivers will appreciate the improved ride that the SWB offers. The spring over walking beam design isolates the chassis from road forces as well as less wear and tear on the vehicle.
