RUBBER SUSPENSION   (on all "R" Series model trailers)

Why Rubber
Suspension?




Rubber suspension is less expensive and  while it cannot match the smooth ride performance of an air suspension system, does offer many advantages over conventional leaf springs.
 
The Air-tow rubber suspension has a progressive spring rate, the further it is compressed, the stiffer it becomes.  It is gradually stiffened according to the load being applied by progressively increasing in proportion to the load being carried. This rubber suspension can withstand severe shock loads at maximum capacity without bottoming out which greatly reduces forces transmitted to the trailer frame and cargo.
