Louisville, KY – March 27, 2008 – Mid-America Trucking Show. Reyco Granning® – a commercial vehicle suspension product line of Tuthill Transport Technologies – introduced the 86AR/RS3035 Air Ride Slider. This next generation in the Reyco Granning 86AR Slider Series, it is one of the most durable trailers suspension systems the company has ever built, now with claims of reduced tire wear and the unprecedented coverage of the industry's first limited lifetime warranty.
The 86AR/RS3035 is designed for all standard heavy duty trailer applications, including dry freight and refrigerated vans. Fleets equipped with the suspension can expect to experience up to 34,000 miles per 32nd of tread — the highest in the industry. Great tire life is possible due to these unique benefits:
- Patented track-rod design that ensures less side-to-side sway and tire wear
- Opposing axle configuration that provides increased vehicle stabilization and decreased tread wear
- Vertical shock-absorber placement that offers a counter balance to tough road conditions, which can eat treads alive
- Firmer bushings that provide less deflection and greater weight resistance, adding thousands of miles to tire life
- An alignment system that uses simple hand tools which means fleets can make alignment part of their regular preventive maintenance program and ensure better tire life
"We are changing the way fleets solve their tire-wear problem with the 86AR Series," said Greg Richardson. Vice President of Engineering. "As evidence of that, fleets are telling us that since they switched to our suspension, their tire-wear problems are disappearing."
