A system designed to provide independent suspension for trailers, this setup replaces the traditional axle with individual suspension arms for each wheel. These arms connect directly to the trailer frame, offering improved ride quality and ground clearance compared to conventional leaf spring or torsion axles. An example would be a teardrop camper utilizing this system to navigate uneven terrain more effectively.
The advantages of such systems include a smoother towing experience, reduced vibration transfer to the trailer’s contents, and the potential for increased stability. Historically, these designs were initially limited to specialized applications but have gained wider acceptance due to advancements in manufacturing and material science. The improved handling and customizable ride height contribute to its growing popularity.
