From 15,000 lbs. to 27,500 lbs., our leaf spring axles are the benchmark of the trailer industry. Straight spindles are considered standard for axles rated above 22,500 lbs. Leaf springs axles are offered in double slipper spring configurations and can be mounted in underslung configurations. In many cases, we have multiple tube and spindle solutions to safely handle the overhang customers desire. Leaf Spring axles come standard with oil bath lubrication but can also be configured with grease bearings.
DexKo is also the creator of SMART-STEER®; the only heavy-duty self-steering axle manufacturer that combines unmatched stability, full customization, full braking, and load-carrying capability to deliver top performance.
SMART-STEER axles are compatible with our new suspension system and offer the rewards that come from longer tire life, better gas mileage, and vastly improved safety–especially on narrow, winding roads.
The adaptability of the system is also aided by different capacities for specific load ranges, including straight, drop center, and camelback beams to suit customer requirements and a variety of track widths for standard and non-standard tracks. Because it is designed with standard parts, components are readily available.
The SMART-STEER can be mounted on several suspension models, from any suspension manufacturer. Because it comes in a wide variety of designs, this self-steering axle can be tailored to any given application.
With over 50 years of experience supplying axles to the heavy-truck industry, DexKo excels in the areas of engineering, performance, and customer service.
