TOLEDO, OH — To help meet the growing demands of its OE and fleet customers, Dana Corp. has expanded its trailer suspension and axle offerings with the recent launch of the Spicer SmartRide family of suspension modules and systems.

The SmartRide family includes a new lightweight slider suspension for linehaul applications and new slider and fixed suspensions for severe-service fleets. SmartRide suspension assemblies are also available with advanced features, such as an upgraded tire-inflation system, the Spicer TMS tire maintenance system.

According to Nick Cole, president of Dana’s Heavy Vehicle Systems and Technologies Group, in addition to developing the new products, the company also invested in the manufacturing equipment and processes behind them and formed a new partnership with Bendix Commercial Vehicle, another supplier in the commercial vehicle market.

Also new to Dana’s product line is the Spicer D22SS self-steering trailer axle, which answers a new regulation going into effect in Canada that mandates the use of self-steering axles on trailers.

Dana’s trailer suspensions are also now available with a wide range of advanced braking systems and trailer stability products from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC and Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC.
