SAF-HOLLAND TRUCK AND BUS SUSPENSIONS - SAF AIR SUSPENDED TAG AXLES
SAF-HOLLAND TRUCK AND BUS SUSPENSIONS
SAF Air Suspended Tag Axles
A cost-effective chassis conversion for improved efficiency and payload.
Available in drum and disc brakes.
The main function of the chassis is to maintain/improve vehicle driving standards and safety, and, in this respect, commercial vehicle and body manufacturers, together with transport companies, are increasingly recognizing the advantages of air suspended vehicle chassis.
The sum of their technical advantages is therefore not even approached by any other suspension principle. Up-to-date and cost-effective solutions in the field of transport technology are today firmly associated with the air suspension principle, and in turn with the SAF-HOLLAND organization, which has been the leader in the air suspension field for over 30 years. SAF-HOLLAND has by far the longest experience of commercial vehicle air suspension systems in Europe and has supplied assembled axle and air suspension assemblies to the truck and trailer industry for every application.
EEC regulations
SAF tag axles comply with EEC regulations, copies of which are available on request.
Increased payloads
Up to 12 tonnes increased payload by fitting an SAF tag axle.
Improved traction
Improved traction on the drive axle when tag axle is lifted in slippery conditions, ie. roads covered with snow, ice or mud.
More Features
Improved driving comfort through the use of the air suspension principle: softer ride/more stability.
Tyre-saving by using axle lift or self steer tag axles during; empty part load or shunting operations.
Cost effective maintenance, trouble-free fitting to all current commercial vehicle types. Incorporates maintenance free pivot bearings and a minimal number of moving/wearing parts.
Complete system, axle and air suspension supplied in one unit, ie. matched assembly of components including pneumatic parts.
Proven design; leading commercial vehicle manufacturers incorporate SAF tag axles on the assembly line during vehicle manufacture.
