SAF INTRA Self Steering Axle

For Your Peace of Mind

Our GUARANTEE OF COMPETENCE takes the worry out of equipment concerns: protection up to 1 million km and 6 years on the complete suspension system according to the SAF-HOLLAND guarantee conditions.

Positioned for Protection

The specially coordinated shock absorber with specific characteristics is positioned in the center of the hanger bracket and with-in the functional suspension arm, thus protecting it from stone chipping and other road debris.

Driving Stability and Safety

Our specially designed 3D bushing element is integrated into the functional suspension arm and provides an optimum of ride performance.

Maintenance Free for Life

Our design incorporates the functional suspension arms and axle beam into one unitized and maintenance free component. This indestructible design provides additional benefits such as: no extra mounting parts, such as axle seats and U-bolts, no re-torquing of screws and nuts.

Light-Weight

The very narrow hanger bracket is symmetrically designed. This saves weight and allows easy installation.

SAFE-GUARD-DESIGN

The patented SAFE-GUARD-DESIGN of the functional suspension arm reliably protects the brake chambers from damage.

Excellent Corrosion Protection

We use great care in long-term corrosion protection on particularly exposed parts, such as hubs, hub caps or screw connections as well as wheel bolts and nuts.

Optimized with Factory Standards

Standard features include: uniform bearings, ABV-preparation, integrated rim system, specific weight reduction, cathodic dip coating process of axle and wheel hub.

SAF TIRE PILOT

Tyre inflation system for trailers and semi-trailers.
Monitoring and preservation of the set tire pressure in the Trailer.

SAF Brake Chambers

The same strict quality guidelines apply to our brake chambers as for all SAF components. We are using high quality internal components for our brake chambers so that you can depend on the long and secure function of this component. The robust and completely surface coated housing provides additional safety. For an additional advantage the air connections are fully integrated on the SAF brake chambers.

SAF UP train loading system

One of the lightest Train loading Suspension on the market
For secure rail loading with container lifts or cranes.

Currently, 86% of freight in the EU is transported over roads. Traffic is getting heavier, delays are becoming more frequent, and there is an increasing danger of congested roads, with wheels more often moving only slowly towards their destinations. With the new SAF UP train loading system, unproductive time spent on the road is kept to a minimum. We put your trailer safely onto rail, saving you time and money.

Even when you have to load your trailer onto rail unexpectedly, you’ll be optimally equipped with the newly-designed air spring and bellows. It offers maximum support in loading your trailer safely onto rail. Whether you’re on the road or on the train – you’re on the safe side with the new SAF UP train loading system.

Advantages at a Glance
· One of the lightest train loading bellows on the market
· Less wear and a longer life cycle through smooth joining of bellows and support brackets
· No additional equipment (safety ropes, etc.) needed to protect the bellows during loading
· A considerable weight saving of 30 kg when compared to the
previous SAF-HOLLAND design
