BPW AXLE BEAM.

SQUARE, RELIABLE, STABLE.

BPW axle beams have been square from the very beginning. And for good reason. They offer extreme
stability and highest reliability. This is BPW‘s design principle which has proven itself in millions of appli-
cations. In combination with our brakes and suspension systems, the square axle beam provides a
stable basis for a long vehicle service life. Along with the well-tried solid axle beams, BPW has also
been manufacturing hollow axle beams for decades.
