This
unique CE approved Integra axle assembly is a combination of ideas from
the Fountain Trailers team working with AL-KO axles, Europe's leading
axle manufacturer. The fully galvanised axle, which is fitted as standard,
incorporates additional mounting brackets, increasing stability and strength
throughout the chassis range.
The Integra axle features a unique independent suspension system with
the outer tube having an irregular hexagonal form and a tri-lobal inner
tube which attaches the arm, sandwiching three rubber elements in place.
This provides a suspension and a shock absorbing quality giving excellent
damping characteristics which are progressive and the overall design outperforms
comparable systems. This progressive damping also provides improved stability
and handling, increasing safety and, more importantly, produces a far
gentler action on the towing vehicle. This new design is patented.
All Integra axles are pre-tracked at the factory to ensure accurate alignment,
again, contributing to stability, and most importantly reduces unnecessary
tyre wear. Integra naturally incorporates auto-reverse overrun brakes.
