Special axles

Tailor-Made Axle Solutions for Your Specific Needs

In addition to our range of standard axles, and thanks to our various skills, we are able to offer you a tailor-made product, fully adapted to your needs.

Motorized Axles

On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive for Challenging Conditions

The motorized axle provides on-demand all-wheel-drive assistance for vehicles operating in challenging conditions such as mud, snow, or steep slopes. This system also ensures good safety during steep descents through hydraulic assistance retention or by preventing sliding off the side of an unstable road.

Rhino Kit

The ADR Rhino Suspension Kit is designed to tackle climatic and road challenges, ensuring durability and outstanding performance.

Thanks to its superior specifications and innovative design, it provides a competitive advantage.

On-Road Mechanical Suspensions

Simple, robust, and minimal maintenance.

The mechanical suspension features a simple and extremely robust design, engineered to offer high reliability with minimal maintenance needs. Its consistent performance ensures safety and stability for both on-road and off-road applications.

Pneumatic suspensions

Adjusting Vehicle Height for Load and Terrain

Pneumatic suspension is the most common type of suspension in industrial vehicles. It allows the height and stance of the vehicle to be adjusted according to the load and terrain. To ensure road stability and optimal traction, it enables vehicle stabilization during turns and automatic compensation for braking dynamics.

Self steering axles

Enhanced Maneuverability for Long Vehicles

The steering axles and powered steering axle significantly increases the maneuverability of long vehicles, especially when they are equipped with a front axle lift.

Simplified mechanical suspensions

Robust solutions requiring minimal maintenance

The simplified mechanical suspension has a simple and robust design, requiring minimal maintenance. It is reliable both on the road and off-road.

Pendular axles 300x150 & 420x200

Optimal Ground Contact for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

The pendular axle ensures optimal transversal contact with the ground at all times. It is the ideal solution for heavy-duty vehicles operating on very uneven terrain, as well as for transporting tall loads that require a very low loading floor. It also allows for independent left/right steering angles when combined with the suspension system.

Bogies

Engineered for Heavy Loads in Extreme Conditions

The bogie system offers robustness and reliability for severe operations, enabling the transport of heavy loads both on and off-road.
