Quality and Service.
QUALITY
Quality systems have been implemented in all phases of the manufacturing process. These methods are employed at every step along the way, beginning with the enforcement of stringent specifications on all incoming material. Once in production, components and assemblies must pass through multiple checks before proceeding to the next stage. State-of-the-art manufacturing and assembly equipment ensure consistent tolerances, structurally sound welds, and a uniform powder-coated finish.
- CSA approved 3.5K and 6K electric brake axles
- 2-year limited warranty on tubular axles
- 5-year warranty on Equalizer axles
- patented Posi-Lube™ system
SERVICE
State-of-the-art axle manufacturing locations coupled with the largest distribution network in North America and you will find our service level is unsurpassed in the trailer industry.
Rockwell American’s Equalizer Torsion Axle - a premium choice for your premium cargo
Each spindle is attached to a trailing arm which moves up and down during road shock. This movement is transferred to a steel inner bar within the axle beam. Rubber cords then absorb the shock from the twisting inner bar. This design overcomes the main drawback to a leaf spring suspension – a lack of damping, which leads to a slower return to stability after impact.
THE BENEFITS
Superior Performance - The independent action provides greater control and stability which makes towing the trailer much easier. Wheel vibration is absorbed by the rubber cords.
Variable Capacity - Capacity can be tailored to your requirements in 100 lb. increments.
Neat, Clean, Functional - Since the torsion axle mounts directly to the frame, we can provide almost any ground clearance you desire. There are no leaf springs, hangers, u-bolts, etc. to become clogged with mud, snow, or ice.
Reduced Costs - With no metal-to-metal contact, (no springs, bolts, shackle straps), maintenance is minimal. The added strength and support provided by the torsion axle beam also helps stiffen the frame.
Easy Installation - Top or side (outboard, inboard) mounting options.
Service/Delivery - Excellent service, delivery, lead times, and freight costs are integral to the success of your business. We provide all of these, giving you the greatest chance for success.
Five-Year Warranty - A five-year limited warranty is standard on the Equalizer beam and suspension components of that beam.
