For many years, TRIDEC systems have been used in a large range of applications in diverse conditions and terrains. Previously inaccessible destinations are now reached with larger loads. A reduction in the number of runs cuts costs significantly. Improving the manoeuvrability lowers fuel consumption and reduces tire wear. Most important, TRIDEC systems offer total control and are the safest cornering option. The custom-made systems are modular, offering a unique solution for any kind of trailer. The brand remains the market leader for steering systems and special wheel and axle suspension.
The industry is facing pressure for immediate action and solid solutions, due to demand for more efficient transport and growing legislation around safety and environment. This represents for TRIDEC a great opportunity to help its customers.
As an example of environmentally oriented solution, TRIDEC is known for its independent wheel suspension systems. This type of suspension is characterized by the absence of a mechanical connection between the left and right wheel hub, allowing the space between them to put to good use: storing cargo, creating a sustainable transport concept – The Double Deck Trailer. It significantly increases the cargo volume, up to 60%, implying two double-deck trailers carry more than three conventional trailers. The double-deck trailer keeps the permitted standard dimensions, adding to the cost saving and environmental advantage, allowing transport in large urban centres, with narrow streets and difficult access.
TRIDEC is focused on future of Smart Mobility as the investment in innovative ideas has been for years a priority. While the world is shifting to a more electric approach, and cybersecurity is still the biggest concern of the authorities and customers, TRIDEC is already focused on the next steps.
In this challenging context for the industry, steering systems can in fact be an important part of the solution and contribute to the new shape of Smart Mobility worldwide. With TRIDEC knowledge and experience on steering, the customers have a better shot to thrive and find optimal solutions that will last in the future.
