EXTEND SUSPENSION LIFE
GSM Innovative Products of Michigan offers an innovative wear pad for spring trailer suspensions that’s said to
protect OEM hangers, reduce noise, and extend spring life. Called the Ever-Durable Warepad (EWP), it’s made from tough polymer, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin.
The brainchild of small-fleet owner Greg Manchik (who runs F.J. Manchik & Son Trucking, a gravel/sand-hauling outfit) the pads recently completed a 30-month field test with a tanker fleet. Manchik says the fleet found 33% wear remaining on the Warepad after those 30 months, no visible wear to the OEM hanger or equalizer, and leaf-spring replacement cut by 95%. The pads can be installed in minutes without welding, torching or grinding.
Fleet owners using Warepads should realize reduced maintenance costs, increased up-time, and improved
truck utilization. A brochure is available. Call 586-727-9346 or visit the company website (see URL below).
