Manutec Rocker Roller Suspension Springs (up to 4.5t)
Manutec rocker roller springs suit tandem trailer setups with 60mm wide leaf springs that provide a ride between air and standard rocker suspensions.
Individual springs are boxed, and hangers, bolts, and rocker arms are supplied separately.
Below is an image of perfectly installed rocker roller springs. Notice the hangers are stretched as far as possible so the loop is on the back of the holder.
This robust spring is ideal for the long haul, including caravans or horse floats, livestock, and other trailers where the ride is more forgiving than standard suspension systems.
When building a new dual axle trailer, it is advisable to allow 10% for consumables and non-consumables as Payload for your customer.
For example, if the desired payload is 3t, build the ATM to 3.3t or 3.5t.
If upgrading, check the capacity of your tow bar.
Checking your tow ball weight for better towing is a great idea. 5.5% -7% for tandem trailers.
Rocker Roller Suspension Vs Slipper Springs
60mm wide springs twist less and are more robust to withstand better shock loading events like potholes, railway lines, cattle grids and corrugations, to name a few.
If you are considering 45mm wide springs and a cheaper suspension system, you must consider whether your trailer will be susceptible to some harsh conditions or merely be a run-around town trailer.
The location of your spring hangers can create problems if installed incorrectly. Read more here.
The rocker Roller Kit includes
4 springs, 2 x centre rocker, 2 x centre hanger, 2 x front and back hangers, bolts, and nylocks.
It is always advisable to install shock absorbers on trailer suspension systems.
Shock absorbers cushion spring rebound during pothole shock loading events. The cushioning effect increases bearing, hub, spring and trailer life.
