Ridewell introduces Ridelite integrated suspension

Ridewell Corp.
Ridewell announced a new lightweight 25,000-pound capacity air suspension system for platform, tank, dump, grain, and specialized trailers.

The Ridelite suspension system offers a variety of 5-inch round, non-captured axles to allow for axle maintenance or replacement while preserving other parts. It is designed for ease of installation and serviceability — double-bonded manual clamp-in pivot bushing can be installed or replaced with common shop tools, no special presses required. The new Ridelite pivot bolt requires a torque of only 450 foot-pounds. The unit includes a patent-pending “Speed Set” alignment feature which easily allows for one-inch adjustment at the hanger. Pre-mounted shock brackets and attachable, no-weld valve mounts assure ease of installation.

A patented contoured axle seat optimizes axle weldment by decreasing stress concentrations — no U-bolts required.
