At the Expo Proveedores in Monterrey, Nuevo León, trailer manufacturer Fruehauf introduced its latest product, a 57-foot trailer that offers the same benefits as its 2.0 model.

The 57-foot trailer is constructed with composite materials, featuring a two-position sliding skate frame, screwable and supported on six bridges, equipped with Fruehauf Jost H450 skates, a Transtex top kit, Michelin tires, and Ampro aluminum rims.

“Nuevo León is one of the strongest states in terms of the transportation industry, accounting for 25% of the total market share of registered units last year according to data from the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT),” commented Fruehauf CEO Leandro Radomile, explaining the reason for the product launch in this region.

Regarding the 57-foot trailer, it is equipped with a Vantraax sliding suspension with ZMD technology. ZMD technology is a patented zero-maintenance damping system that eliminates the need for an external component such as a shock absorber. Instead, the damping function of the suspension has been incorporated into the air chambers of the suspension. The unique design of the ZMD exclusive air chamber offers an all-in-one suspension damping and trailer isolation package without adding additional components to the air chamber.

With such equipment, maintenance costs for shock absorbers are reduced, tire lifespan is extended, driving quality is enhanced, and cargo protection is improved.

“As part of our commitment to Mexican transporters, we aim to offer high-quality products with durable, innovative components, such as Hendrickson’s patented ZMD system, which represents a significant reduction in maintenance costs and increased unit uptime,” added Radomile.

From Fruehauf’s Commercial Director Rodrigo Arcos’s perspective, “We work closely with suppliers who can offer not only quality components but are also constantly innovating, a value we share with them since the dry van line has seen many improvements in recent years culminating in the well-known 2.0 dry van.”
