1. 7,000 lb Torsion Axle

• Rated to carry 7,000 pounds of load.
• Uses an internal rubber suspension system instead of traditional leaf springs.
• The spindle arm twists against rubber cords inside the axle tube, providing suspension and shock absorption.
• Benefits include:
  • Smoother ride
  • Reduced vibration
  • Less maintenance than leaf-spring suspensions
  • Independent wheel movement on each side

2. 4-Inch Drop

• The spindle is positioned approximately 4 inches below the centerline of the axle tube.
• Lowers the trailer frame closer to the ground.
• Functions:
  • Easier loading and unloading
  • Lower center of gravity
  • Improved trailer stability
  • Reduced deck height

3. Electric Brakes

• Brake assemblies are mounted at each wheel hub.
• Activated by an electric signal from a trailer brake controller in the tow vehicle.
• When the driver applies the vehicle brakes:
  1. The brake controller sends power to the trailer brakes.
  2. An electromagnet inside each brake assembly engages the brake drum.
  3. Brake shoes expand against the drum surface.
  4. Friction slows or stops the trailer wheels.
• Functions:
  • Improves stopping power
  • Reduces stress on the tow vehicle brakes
  • Enhances safety when hauling heavy loads
