Heavy load steering axle MODEL series

front/rear

MAXIMUM WHEEL-CUT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN FOR HEAVY-DUTY PROFITS With up to a 55-degree turning radius, Detroit front-steer axles provide the strength, performance, reliability and increased payload capacity you can count on for maximum freight efficiency. Our front-steer axles equip your truck with the support and maneuverability your business needs to facilitate success. We offer a 12,500-lb front axle rating for multiple applications. This provides an additional 500 lbs capacity on the front axle, compared to a 12,000-lb. axle, and lets you avoid purchasing a heavier, more costly 13,000-lb. axle. You get a weight- and cost-efficient solution that fits your truck application and its payload requirements. The unique I-beam design coupled with tie rod arms and axle cups enables a sharper wheel cut of up to 55 degrees, giving you the tightest turning radius available. Unique design of our I Beam uses less material for less weight and higher payload. Designed for construction, distribution, dump, fire and emergency, government, motor home, oil & gas, refuse, and regional.
