• Following eight years' production of its hydraulically powered steering system, Hosta (Netherlands) has introduced a comprehensive, fully modular range of hydraulically and mechanically powered systems for semi-trailers.
Available in the UK only From IMS, the new modules can meet operators' specific trailer steering needs using computer-aided optimisation of modules, axle positions, load configuration and turning circles in accordance with relevant legislative requirements.
The standard range
Hosta system offers hydraulic forced-axle steering for up to four steered axles; hydraulic turntable steering for up to three steered axles; and mechanical turntable steering for up to three steered axles. Systems for more than four axles can be custom-built.
Low maintenance costs are a feature of these Hosta products and fine tolerance production methods ensure a long working life, says the maker.
