THE latest version of 131'W-Marcar's type air suspension incorporates a new air bag design plus a number of' weight saving features.
The bellows, mounted in conjunction with a long spring, allow axle movement of up to 340mm.
The suspension, when assembled with BM lightweight axles in a tri-axle configuration, weighs only 1,425kg. The H series square beam axle shown on the stand weighs just 297kg complete.
A new type of axle lift now offered adds as little as 33kg. The design uses a pivot arm attached to the front hanger bracket and is operated by an air bag of the same type as incorporated in the primary suspension unit.
Other exhibits include a closed S-cam brake assembly, slack adjusters and a single type VO air suspension.
