• The Primrose Cushionride rubber suspension system which was introduced earlier this year for trailers is now available in a version suitable for powered vehicles. An example of the suspension will be on view at the Primrose Group stand at the Commercial Motor Show.
The tandem-bogie suspension is a higharticulation design in which the axles are connected to the ends of I-section beams rocking on air springs. Bottom radius rods and upper A-frames locate the axles both longitudinally and transversely. All pivots are rubber-bushed and the suspension absorbs drive and brake torques without weight-transfer from one axle to another. A single-axle version of the Cushionride suspension has also been introduced.
