Steering axle, steering lock 2

General

The eff ect of the steering axle is that the suspension unit
steers into corner better and virtually follows in the tracks of
the tractor unit.
The lateral forces on the tyres, occurring for example in
the case of a three-axle trailer, are thus ideally distributed
between all the axles.
As a result of the fact that each axle experiences considerably
lower lateral forces, the mileage covered by the tyres is
demonstrably increased by up to 50 % on the front axle and
actually up to 70 % on the rear axle.
The use of the BPW steering axle delivers absolutely even
wear.
