BPW in pole position at CV Show

BPW has announced that it will use the forthcoming Commercial Vehicle Show (25-27 April; NEC, Birmingham) to showcase its drum and disc brake axles, featuring Eco Plus 3 hubs with Eco Air Compact suspension.

BPW – best known for its intelligent running gear systems – says the new hubs apply the Formula 1 principle for simple removal of the entire wheel, so considerably reduce servicing and maintenance times.

Making its debut will be the Airlight 2 Heavy Duty (AL2-HD) axle and suspension system.Designed for fleets with arduous duty cycles and axle loads up to 12-tonne capacity, AL2-HD has been tested extensively off-road and, says BPW, is ideal for the logging and quarry industries and double decks.

This low maintenance system has a clamped axle connection, to enable parts to be easily repaired rather than having to replace a complete axle.

BPW also offers a range of products to support trailer builders and, along with its landing legs and Ermax lighting systems, the company will be exhibiting Hestal trailer components. With EN12642XL rated sliding pillars, fitted as standard by many trailer builders, they also offer drop-sides and CargoMaster, a strap lift system which meets DVSA load securing guidelines.
