The important difference between York's Third Axle and other trailing axles is this : the York is not just another variation on the old straight beam single axle. It is an integral suspension system that employs two short stub axles. So you get the benefits of independent suspension: drastic reduction of frame twist on rough ground and consequently far greater stability. (Particularly important on tippers, high cattle trucks and so on).
Traction York's Trailing Axle gives you fantastic traction too. The best proof of this is to see it in action. For the time being though just think about this: only York axles have the patented York balanced beam suspension layout even when the truck is reversing, any tendency of the trailing axle to lift, automatically applies more load to the drive axle. Operators say that a York Trailing Axle is as good as a double-drive: at a fraction of the cost and weight. Fuel consumption is much less too.
No Hop Most important of all, on a York Trailing Axle the oscillating rocker beams balance out brake torque keep the tyres glued to the road. So you get safe, sure stopping without a trace of axle hop. Ask any driver, he'll say "Give me a York any time!"
Another thing: York designers work closely with all the leading truck manufacturers to ensure that your new six wheeler is plated properly and that truck manufacturer's warranty is preserved.
Add to all this an unequalled 100,000 mile guarantee and you begin to see why more Yorks are sold than any other trailing axle. And that isn't a claim. It's a fact!
