SAF-HOLLAND highlights SAF INTEGRAL air disc brake axle system with P89 wheel end package

SAF-HOLLAND, manufacturer of suspensions, fifth wheels and landing gear, highlighted its new SAF INTEGRAL air disc brake axle system with P89 wheel end package, ideal for SAF air suspension systems. Designed with the fleet in mind, the P89 is a durable, long-life system that is easily maintained, according to the company.

The P89 accommodates up to 2-in. offset wheels for application and maintenance flexibility, allowing fleets to choose the wheel end offset desired. The P89 can also accommodate both industry-standard single wide-based wheels with up to 2-in. offsets and dual wheel configurations. This wider bearing configuration helps distribute the load between the bearings.

The P89 hub design incorporates the INTEGRAL bi-metallic rotor, and uses premium matched-set bearings, which can be replaced with readily-available standard bearings for field service. It provides an industry-standard premium spindle nut with right-hand threads. The more robust spindle is ideal for specialty trailer applications, SAF-HOLLAND explained.

The INTEGRAL disc brake’s advanced rotor and hub adapter design provides advanced braking efficiencies, reliability, and low cost of ownership. The rotor is designed with a series of ventilation channels to redirect and control high temperatures associated with vehicle braking. The INTEGRAL rotor expands in a radial direction maintaining a flat and stable braking surface, which significantly reduces harmful stress cracks and premature brake pad failure.

Class 8 orders strong in February

Even when seasonally adjusted, ACT says preliminary order numbers for February are up 5% over January.

ACT-Class-8-Feb-truck-orders

According to the latest numbers from ACT Research, preliminary North America Class 8 net orders were 27,700 units, up 600 units from January and 16% from a year ago. With the fourth-largest seasonal factor of the year at 8%, seasonal adjustment reduces February’s Class 8 intake to 25,600 units, up 5% from January.

“Weak freight and carrier profitability fundamentals, and large carriers guiding to lower capex in 2024, would imply pressure in U.S. tractor, the North American Class 8 market’s largest segment,” said Kenny Vieth, ACT’s president and senior analyst. “While we do not yet have the underlying detail for February order volumes, Class 8 demand continuing at high levels again this month suggests that U.S. buyers continue as strong market participants.”
