TufTrac - Proven Off-Road Performance
Our job-proven high-performance vocational suspension was designed specifically
for on/off road high articulation operations where it's important to traverse
bumps, ridges and washboard without "bottoming out," even during "crisscross" articulation.
TufTrac 2-Stage - Improved Unladen Ride
's new TufTrac 2-Stage provides all of the high-performance features of the
standard TufTrac, but also provides an improved unladen ride (by up to 30%) by
using a 2-stage center bearing with a soft spring rate.
Features include:
Uniform Wheel Loading During Articulation
- Whether your truck is loaded or unloaded, the unique design of TufTrac
and TufTrac 2-Stage allows it to maintain a uniform load over each wheel as the
suspension articulates. By maintaining an even load over each wheel, both
TufTrac models retain maximum traction, giving you the confidence to cross
even the roughest job site.
Spectacular Ride
- Most vocational spring suspensions use springs designed to carry
heavy loads that have an extremely harsh ride when the vehicle is
loaded. The same with suspensions using rubber load cushions.
TufTrac's combination of rubber-isolated pivot points and parabolic
taper-leaf springs ensures a smooth ride, whether loaded or unloaded,
minimizing wear and tear on both truck and driver. TufTrac 2-Stage provides
and even better unladed ride (up to 30%) via the use of a 2-stage
center bearing with a soft spring rate.
Maintenance-Free Design
- All moving joints are contained in rubber elastomers that require
no periodic adjustments or lubrication.
Maximum Ground Clearance
- Both models are designed with minimal protrusions below the axles to avoid
hanging-up on rocks and ruts. Even the center portion is raised out
of the way.
Exceptionally Quiet Operation
- By isolating the moving joints in rubber elastomer bushings, TufTrac
and TufTrac 2-Stage also provides one of the quietest rides among vocational suspensions.
Protected Brake Chambers
- On many trucks, the brake chambers are positioned in an exposed
area behind the axles, leaving them vulnerable to damage from impacts
with piled-up materials or machinery such as asphalt spreaders.
Both TufTrac models allow the brake chambers to be mounted ahead of the axles,
out of harm's way.
