EMCO Industries releases High-Performance Mono-Leaf Spring for HD trailers
EMCO Industries has launched its new High-Performance Mono-Leaf Spring for heavy-duty trailers, featuring a 22,400-lb. gross-axle-weight-rated spring.
“In today’s environment of supply chain uncertainty, we’re providing reliability,” said Marcus Hester, president of EMCO Industries. “Fueled in part by demand and by our track record of on- time delivery, we’ve seen a lot of customer enthusiasm. We’re seizing this opportunity and are doubling down on our commitment to domestic manufacturing with a significant multimillion dollar investment in automation and expanded capacity.”
According to the company, the new spring offers a 25% weight reduction compared to traditional 22,400 axle leaf springs, dropping from 53 lbs. to 40 lbs. It also exceeds Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) B-10 fatigue life requirements. Additionally, EMCO says that the new springs will be good for applications with lower suspension clearance, such as container chassis, flatbed trailers, and drive-on trailers. Both low-arch and high-arch configurations are available.
The new springs will be manufactured with EMCO’s proprietary steel specifications and heat-treating processes, and each will be painted for corrosion resistance. The company is currently taking orders for the new springs, with delivery expected to take about eight weeks.
