• Higher carrying capacity • Lower bed height • Greater steering angle • Higher stability • Less maintenance • Lower costs • Higher returns The secret! Broshuis axle

Foreword We aim to achieve the highest quality in everything we do, and we have stayed true to this in developing the new generation of steered semi-trailers with the independent wheel suspension. We wanted the same level of perfection in our wheel suspension as can be found in our steering systems, paint process, finishing, and our use of high-quality components. This was successful, and has also been proven after numerous tests. The system, which is not unique because it is employed in almost every luxury car, offers a plethora of benefits. For starters, at just 790 mm the bed height is a...

Hiaher carrvina caoacit As Broshuis SL trailers are equipped with independent wheel suspension, these new axles [as with pendal axles] are permitted to have an axle load of 12 tons per axle. This is 2000kg more carrying capacity per axle than conventional [beam] axles. Due to the lower tare weight of SL axles in relation to pendal axles, the Broshuis SL trailer actually has approx. 800kg more carrying capacity Thanks to the independent wheel suspension and the absence of a beam axle under the semi-trailer's beam, Broshuis is able to offer an SL trailer with the lowest possible bed height....

highest carrying capacity.

Greater steering angle SL trailers have a steering angle of almost 60 degrees. This steering angle is virtually the same as that of a pendal axle, and much greater than that of conventional steering axles. Higher stability The axles are suspended independently from each other; this makes the semi-trailer highly stable. Thanks to hydraulic compensation, the trailer bed always remains perfectly horizontal. Furthermore, the track dimension of the SL trailers is wider than the track dimension of pendal axles and conventional axles. This wide track, in combination with the low bed height,...

Less maintenance = Lower costs = Higher returns In addition to the direct user benefits that an SL trailer offers “at work”, these semi-trailers seldom have to undergo maintenance. Axle parts and brake components for Broshuis SL axles are 100% interchangeable with BPW components and therefore obtainable anywhere and everywhere for regular prices. Compared predominantly to semi-trailers equipped with pendal axles, the maintenance and, most importantly, the costs involved for a SL trailer are minimal. This is not only restricted to saving huge amounts with regard to direct costs for repair...
