A lineup of Webb Vortex brake drums for applications such as refuse trucks, which are subjected to a higher frequency of stops, has been introduced by Webb Severe Duty. Webb Vortex severe duty drum designs, the company notes, dissipate brake heat and lower the average brake operating temperature compared to standard brake drums, lowering lifecycle costs for these types of operations.
The new Webb Vortex severe duty drum line includes six new drums for 16.5×5-, 16.5×6-, 16.5×7-, 16.5×8- and 16.5×8.62-in. brake sizes.
