Short Summary
STEERTEK’s box-shaped cross section resists horizontal, vertical and twisting forces more effectively than traditional I-beams.

In addition, the formed and robotically welded steer axle assembly provides significant weight savings compared to traditional forged axles.

The geometry easily adapts to different drops and chassis widths. When combined into the SOFTEK® or AIRTEK® systems, the systems provide high intrinsic roll stiffness.
Features and Benefits
Reduces weight
  • Trimming 10 kg on 5.3 t capacity and 12 kg on 7.5 t capacity (axle only)
    • More road time
  • Rigid, box-shaped axle reduces dynamic camber and toe changes and helps improve steer tyre life
    • Flexibility
  • Axle provides platform for a range of HEL front suspensions
  • Flexible / standard suspension interface
  • Integrates clamp group components
    • AIRTEK®,
    an air assist system using STEERTEK
