Can Timbren Axle-Less Suspension be Used on a Triple Axle Trailer
Updated 04/07/2014 | Published 04/06/2014
Question:
Looking over some of the info. Can you tell me why part # ASR5200S01 is not recommended for a triple axle unit?

Expert Reply:
I spoke with the engineers over at Timbren. The reason that they do not recommend the axle-less suspension systems, such as # ASR5200S01, for triple axle applications is because there is no equalization between what would be the axles of the trailer. Without that a trailer that is not fully level would put to much stress and/or weight on the other sets.
The engineer said that they have done it before and it can be done but unless the trailer is always fully level, when loaded or not, it is not recommended and should not be done.
