for the way we capitalise on the benefits of rubber as a shock absorber for multi-wheel vehicles on rough roads!
Apart from gaining loads more anti-roll stability, better articulation and an easier ride, you also benefit from lower noise levels and virtually no axle hop-all from one single system. We understand our Tadchurch suspension has been called the bottom line in operator comfort as you'll find out. there's loads of good reasons why!
For a start. the Tadchurch system gives extended tyre life. The transverse alignment of the bolsters ensures a 50-50 load equalisation across a tandem axle bogie and less axle hop. This effectively reduces damage to wheels and tyres by improved axle loading, roadholding, braking efficiency and of course your Tadchurch unit will outlast a conventional system by up to four times the mileage of an average steel spring.... ....with loads less maintenance en route!
Independent data* has shown that a truck off the road through axle damage is costing its owner 016.63 per day in standing charges repair and loss of revenue.
By insisting on a Tadchurch suspension, you are immediately rewarded by a system which once installed, requires few routine service checks, no adjustments and has very little to fail.

Every joint incorporates a metal to rubber bush, which means the suspension is virtually maintenance free throughout its working life. You'll know that you've got the only reliable suspension system especially designed to bear the rigours of multi-wheel driving.
Tadchurch the system which leaves the competition loads more loads behind!
Value-in-use is the key to the Tadchurch system. You spend a little more initially than on a conventional 2 spring bogie-but the payback period is remarkably short The tandem axle drive suspension can be up to 200Kg lighter than a leafspring unit-and that applies to every load you move.
You also gain with time on the road. Because the Tadchurch system, once installed is virtually maintenance free, your truck makes loads more loads earning loads more money. With operating costs reduced by up to 80%, ride, tyt wear, payload and performance are loads more on the operator's side!
Increasing numbers of manufacturers are recognising the benefits of the Tadchurch system of rubber suspensions. Leyland offer this unique system as a factory fitted extra on the Constructor range. Shelvoke-Dempster and Dennis now offer it on their range of refuse trucks. It is also available for the Volvo FL6 and FL7 range of multi-wheelers.
