Dana Spicer RS 40 and RS 46 SmartRide

Sept. 28, 2010

Shape optimization and computer-analysis software allow Dana Spicer RS 40 and RS 46 SmartRide trailer suspensions to provide weight savings, increased payloads and improved fuel efficiency, says the company. Major features include 5¾-inch-diameter axle tubes and a 30-pound weight savings per axle (when compared to a traditional 5-inch-diameter axle). The larger axle diameter decreases deflection to reduce tire wear.
