ArvinMeritor has introduced its new Meritor RideSentry MPA series of trailer air suspensions. An evolution of the RHP line, its key feature — available this fall — is
angled locking pins that help prevent slider damage if the operator releases the handle but fails to engage pins. It’s a common problem.

Other features: “best-in-class” structural durability using high-strength steel, contoured lateral plates, beaded center hanger brackets, and new profile side rails to resist buckling, racking and curbing; premium bushing design with bonded rubber upper control arm bushings and steel thrust washers; plus slider mechanism protection — to reduce downtime from damaged pin linkage, the
linkage is protected by slider crossmembers.

As well, the pull handle has been repositioned in front of the slider for ease of operation. The parallelogram design of the new unit continues to provide Meritor RHP benefits such as no dock-walk, smooth ride, and roll stability. It will be available beginning this July in both 38,000- and 40,000-lb capacities.
