Reyco Granning has introduced what it describe as the industry’s first viable Class 8 independent front suspension, allowing Class 8 trucks to attain automobile-type handling, with minimal cost and weight penalty.
“This suspension offers a ride so smooth, it may eliminate the need for a cab suspension,” said Greg Richardson, Vice President of Engineering. “And with a low weight, it will keep vehicles running more profitably.”
Designed for over-the-road trucks and trailers, the suspension promises to be easy to install, easier to service, and will fit into existing assembly lines with little or no disruption.
Reyco Granning said its Class 8 IFS is designed to work with either a conventional steering box or rack and pinion steering. Other features include anti-dive geometry, which keeps the nose of the vehicle stable during stops, a steering linkage design that virtually eliminates bump steer, and separate load inputs that distribute the load across the frame.
