Mechanical suspensions series VB
General
BPW VB suspension units for trailers and
semi-trailers. Sturdy leaf springs for the
most demanding applications.
Whether on roads or tracks, local or long-distance - BPW
VB leaf-spring suspension systems can be relied upon
one hundred percent.
They are extremely sturdy, and their tried and tested
design stands up to the harshest challenges.
They are purely mechanical in operation. As a result
they are easy to repair, even in circumstances where the
infrastructure is poor.
With our VB suspension units for trailers and semitrailers,
axle loads of 9 tonnes and more are no problem.

Axle location is undertaken by separate connecting rods,
which are adjustable on one side (or both) to enable the
tracking to be set with ease (see also page 16).
Suspension axles can be quickly aligned through
VB ECO Cargo hanger brackets and equalizing beams
with integrated wheel alignment:
Production tolerances on the vehicle can be equalised or
wheelbases corrected (axle tracking).
