Technical Data
LITEFLEX® Springs - the durable, light-weight alternative to steel.
* Increased cargo loads
* Increased fuel economy
* Increased durability
* Decreased downtime
* Easy retrofit and availability
LITEFLEX® springs allow you to increase your payloads while lightening the loads on your tractor and trailer. An average H.D. three-leaf spring weighs 65 pounds, compared to 23 pounds for an equivalent LITEFLEX® monoleaf sping. More important, the advanced composite material of LITEFLEX® features a strength-to-weight ratio up to five times greater than steel springs. That means the load can be increased 84 pounds per axle. And comparing trucks carrying the same exact loads, the ones with LITEFLEX® significantly save on fuel.Durable Liteflex springs are 50-75% lighter than steel, improving fuel economy and payload capacity. They are corrosion resistant and 3-1/2 times more durable than steel (fiber reinforced epoxy delivers a much longer life).
Liteflex springs offer many other distinct advantages, including superior rust resistance for longer life, 50 percent more vibration absorption improving ride quality, and “drive home” capability if overstressed.
