for triaxle 27 tonne bogie trailers, fitted with super single wheels.
The two prime design objectives were to minimise weight for maximum payload, and ease of Maintenance — resulting in low cost of ownership.
The original design target was 300 kg — the axle, without slack adjusters, weighs in at 294 kg.
The TE9000 is different from ROR's standard range because the brake drum is mounted outboard of the hub. This results in two specific design advantages. First it allows the use of wider spring seat centres and second a complete brake service can be done without removing the huh and disturbing the bearings.
The new ROR TE9000 axle has a full two years parts and labour warranty.
