Equipment specialist, JOST Australia, received the Safety Innovation Award at the 2020 Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) National Awards.
At the tipping point of cylinder safety
The lifting cylinder of a tipper truck is exposed to regular cycles of heavy loads. Yet it is expected to perform without fault over a long working life. In an industry where profit margins are narrow and equipment failure can be catastrophic, the quality of such equipment must never be in question. Thus, the testing standards set by Edbro for its tipping cylinders are designed to ensure safe, reliable performance under all conditions.
Optimised payload for more efficiency
If the truck and trailer combination weighs less, the possible payload and the economic efficiency of fleets increases. To make semi-trailer trucks lightweight, economical and efficient, SAF-Holland has reduced the weight of crucial components: The improved premium trailer axle, a drum-brake axle for 19.5” mega tyres, the convenient tyre pressure monitoring system and extra-light fifth wheels optimise the payload of articulated lorries.
Weight saving solution with JOST optima
When travelling across Europe, nearly all trailers on the road are equipped with telescopic landing gears from JOST.
Leading the energy transition
The ROAD collaborative project, which enabled CHEREAU to produce its first hydrogen-powered semi-trailer, was finally realised at the Solutrans exhibition in November 2019. This project highlighted numerous technologies that were leveraged to develop ‘From ROAD to REAL’ – an ambitious program to take ROAD’s tech to the next level.
