Abstract

See full text

Provided is an offset tandem axle assembly system with a pair of walking beams mounted to suspension hangers so that about sixty percent of the overall beam length is oriented between the hanger pivot and a non-driven axle and about forty percent of the overall beam length is oriented between the hanger pivot and the driven axle. A torque rod pivotally connects the non-driven axle to each suspension beam. A single resilient air spring mounted between the non-driven axle and each suspension beam dampens loading and rebound for both the driven and non-driven axles. The non-driven axle can be either a tag axle or a push axle and may be self steering.
