Ridewell's 240 series trailer air-rides remain
unmatched in the industry for ease of maintenance. The
patented features are engineered to reduce the labor
and costs associated with installation, alignment and
re-bushing. Only from Ridewell will you receive all
the benefits of these premium features at standard
prices.
Exceptional
ride quality
Engineered with a longer hanger than used by
other makers, the 240's maintain a horizontal
type geometry between the single pivot bushing
and the axle center. This geometry eliminates
the longitudinal jerks on the trailer that are
transferred to the tractors fifth wheel,
improving the efficiency of both driver and
vehicle.
Ridewell's design geometry reduces the
over-extension of shock absorbers and air
springs so that their full service life is
attained. While performing as a pivot for
extreme axle articulation, the 240's single,
massive bushing also acts as a load cushioning
element in addition to the air spring.
