SELF-TRACKING AXLES
Connections air/electricity
For improved manoeuvrability and reduced tyre wear the
OSDS semi low-loaders are equipped as standard with at
least one self-tracking axle. For a 3-axle vehicle this will
be the rearmost axle, for a 4-axle vehicle it will be the
two rearmost axles. Due to the central beam construction
of the OSDS this self-steering axle has a very generous
steering angle of 20 degrees.
SUSPENSION & EBS BRAKE SYSTEM
Hella EasyConn lighting
The OSDS semi low-loader is equipped as standard with
EBS and a Wabco air suspension system. This system
provides an extremely comfortable ride. It can also be
used to raise and lower the load floor, with a total travel
in height of 200 mm. The EBS comes complete with RSS
Rollover Stability Support, which identiefies roll-over ten-
dencies of the trailer.
TYRES AND AXLES
Central control panel
The OSDS semi low-loaders are equipped as standard
with SAF axles with modern hub units and automatic
adjusters. The steel disc wheels are fitted as standard
with Michelin tyres, type 245/70R17.5 XTE2, double
mounted.
TÜV certified lashing BEAVERTAIL LOAD FLOOR
provisions The EB version of the OSDS semi low-loader has a load
floor which slopes at the rear for safe and easy loading/
unloading of the machines. This 1150 mm long slope,
together with the ramps, ensures the angle of gradient is
optimal for driving the load onto/off the trailer. The bea-
ver is made with hardwood as standard. Galvanised steel
grids can be fitted if extra traction is required.
Excellent torsional stiffness EXTREMELY STRONG GOOSENECK
due to central beam system The gooseneck of the OSDS semi low-loader is extremely
strong, despite being only 185 mm thick. This allows the
front of the semi-trailer to stay very low. The gooseneck
is so strong that it can carry machinery without any prob-
lems. The gooseneck of the OSDS semi low-loader can be
used with 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 tractors and has a coupling
height of 1250 mm. Of course different coupling heights
are included in the programme.
