Cummins-Meritor's RideSentry trailer suspension is a revolutionary system that offers fleet owners a long list of performance benefits. Tire wear, road accidents, curbing damage and maintenance expenses are all reduced by using the system. The only suspension with a parallelogram design concept, RideSentry is a compact, integrated system that provides a smooth, stable ride and better handling for longer trailer life.
Features & Benefits
Durability and curbing damage prevention:
- RideSentry’s unique parallelogram design improves the durability of the structure as the upper control arms act as roll bars absorbing torsional stress imposed on the axle during trailer maneuvers. If a curb hit occurs, the suspension assembly redistributes the impact force evenly throughout the structure and prevents expensive slider damage
- RideSentry's resistance to racking is nearly two times that of its nearest competitor
Better ride quality and stability:
- Parallelogram design of the RideSentry eliminates dock walk
- Air springs are positioned directly over the axles, offering 100% air ride for improved ride quality
- Patented rubber bushing offers better fore and aft stiffness for improved ride quality and minimized roll steer
- Due to integrated upper control arms, RideSentry is 23% more stable by design than other trailer suspension
- Groundbreaking PinLoc™ slider system is standard and combines patented angled pins with a push-pull valve allowing easy slider repositioning and eliminating driver error
Improved tire life and braking:
- RideSentry uses high-duty shock absorbers as a cushion to reduce suspension movement and keep better tire-to-road contact for longer tire life and improved braking performance
- Patented rubber bushing reduces fore and aft movement of the suspension for improved braking performance and more even tire wear
Integrated design:
- All elements are designed as part of a fully integrated system design that optimizes performance and weight
- Integrated Cummins-Meritor genuine axles, from the industry leader and world’s largest manufacturer of trailer axles
- Variety of brakes and wheel-end options optimize weight and improve braking performance
- Cummins-Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS™) maintains proper and even tire inflation, reducing wear and increasing fuel economy. Standard ThermALERT™ wheel-end heat-sensing technology immediately alerts drivers to overheating wheel-ends so that drivers can take preventive action to avoid damage
