When it comes to trailer suspensions, many assume air-ride systems are the gold standard. However, TEL’s latest white paper reveals that spring-ride suspensions offer a superior balance of performance, cost savings, and reduced maintenance in almost all applications.
Key findings from the white paper include:
- Comparable Ride Quality: Studies show spring-ride performs on par with air-ride for loads over 50%.
- Significant Cost Savings: Spring-ride systems are simpler, lighter, and less prone to wear, reducing downtime and operational expenses.
- Practicality in the Supply Chain: Spring-ride suspensions are utilized for 90% of global product transport before reaching U.S. destinations.
This research supports the fact that spring-ride suspensions provide customers with more reliable and cost-effective solutions.
