Lift Axle Beam
RSB has developed lift axle beam (tubular drop) for dual tyre lift axle for multi axle rigid trucks and haulage tipper application. RSB manufacture the drop tube through cold bending with roller technology (sole manufacturer in India) with controlled CTQ parameters (minimal thinning, ovality, residual stress, straightness). We supply lift axle beam to major OEMs in India.
Product Specification
- Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) : 12,500 Kg
- Tube diameter range from 127 (5”) to 146 (5.75”) mm with thickness 14 -23 mm
- Capable to bend tube with center drop from 127 (5”)- 150 (6”) mm
- Tube material strength upto 750 MPa.
- Robotic welding of axle saddle
- Friction welded induction hardened spindle
Steerable Lift Axle
RSB Transmission has done strategic alliance (Technical collaboration) with Reyco Granning LLC, USA for primary air suspension & auxiliary (lift) axle for multi axle rigid trucks, tipper, tractor and bus application. Reyco Granning LLC is having 90 years of experience in designing and manufacturing suspension solutions
12,5T -self steerable lift axle & suspension is a trailing arm type air ride suspension with straight or drop axle for tag / pusher positions for rigid trucks and haulage tipper application.
Product Specification
- Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): 12,500 Kg
- Pusher/tag application
- Tubular lift axle & trailing arm style air suspension for rigid trucks & haulage tipper application.
- Total axle travel : 225-250 mm

- Adjustable wheel track and chassis width
Product Features
- U- Bolt free design (improved axle life eliminating torsional load in cross twist)
- Reduce axle assembly time (tightening of 4 bolts instead of 8 U -bolts)
- Leading king pin : Steer angle : 14 deg (could be adjusted)
- High pressure mono tube, self-centring shocks
- Serviceable dual draw key king pin housing
- Positive dampening to prevent shimmying during highway speed operation.
- Lock straight mechanism to keep wheels straight while axle lifted in unladen / reverse condition.
- Auto lifting during sharp turning
- Tire life increase by ~15-20% (compare to non steer application)
- Driver fatigue reduced for ease of maneuverability.
