Steering axles
Steering axles from BPW demonstrate their strengths particularly in delivery and distribution haulage. Compared to a rigid axle, the trailer handles corners better.
Our new positively steered axles for the common electrohydraulic steering systems are delivered as standard with a welded holder for steering cylinders in order to allow easy assembly. A longer service life is achieved through the use of maintenance-free ball pivots on draglinks.
Due to their optimal manoeuvrability, self-steering axles reduce tyre wear and lower fuel consumption. The result is easier on your wallet.

The economic miracle of all the BPW axles
The LL self-steering axle shows off its strengths particularly when tight manoeuvring is required in delivery and distribution haulage. Thanks to its greater manoeuvrability on corners and when making turns, you benefit from more straightforward vehicle handling, less tyre wear and lower fuel consumption – over a distance of 100,000 kilometres that adds up to as much as 1,000 litres of fuel saving and more than 4 tyres per vehicle. Just work that out for your entire fleet!
