GSM Innovative Products Inc. said its Ever-Durable Warepad, which is produced from tough polymer, ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin completed its 30-month field testing.
Foster Blue Water Oil/FLT, a seven day a week running petroleum hauling company that participated in the testing period, reported 33 percent wear remaining on the warepad and showed no visible wear to the OEM hanger and equalizer after running the warepad for the 30-month period, the company said.
Foster Blue Water said the Warepad did its job of protecting the OEM hanger and equalizer and reduced noise. They also said they were surprised that the amount of leaf spring replacement in the same period was cut by 95 percent.
The field testing proved that the Warepad extends the life of the hangers and equalizers in the truck trailer spring suspension, reduces noise and can be installed in minutes without welding, torching or grinding, the company said. Truck fleet owners will reduce maintenance costs, increase up time, and improve the utilization of their trucks.
