Your Guide to Rocker Roller Suspensions

Rocker Roller Suspensions are essential for ensuring a smooth ride and balanced load distribution in trailers. Whether you’re upgrading your system or replacing components, understanding the options available can make all the difference.

  • What is a Rocker Roller Suspension, and why is it important?

    Rocker Roller Suspension is a robust suspension system designed for tandem or tri-axle trailers. Its primary function is to:

     

    • Distribute weight evenly across axles for better stability and control.

     

    • Enhance load-carrying capacity by absorbing shocks and vibrations during transit.

     

    This system is particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications and rough terrains, ensuring durability and performance.

  • How do I choose the right suspension system for my trailer?

    When selecting a Rocker Roller Suspension, consider:

     

    • Trailer Size and Load: Choose a tandem system for moderate loads and a tri-axle system for heavier capacities.

     

    • Material Finish: Painted or galvanised options provide corrosion resistance, with Dacromet-coated assemblies offering superior durability in harsh environments.

     

    • Spring Dimensions: Ensure compatibility with your trailer’s specifications (e.g., 60mm x 6mm or 60mm x 7mm springs).
