Add On, Drop Down Rear Axle

Add on, Drop down Rear Axle TRUCKS Accessories 16-6-33 Our add-on, drop-down rear axle mounts behind big dump trucks and adds three to five tons of capacity, depending on the type of truck and number and type of axles on the truck. ft provides maximum payload capacity, especially when there's no room for another axle underneath the truck. We're seeing more interest in it because new federal laws are restricting axle weights on bridges. A nitrogen accumulator cylinder allows the axle to float up or down while maintaining constant pressure. The axle is lowered hydraulically by pushing a button in the cab. (Roy R.
