GIANTS ON THE ROAD
History
60 YEARS
OF PENDLE AXLES
A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE SPECIAL TRAILERS FROM NOOTEBOOM ARE EQUIPPED
WITH PENDLE AXLES. THESE AXLES PERFORM BETTER THAN BEAM AXLES OR AXLES WITH
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION IN MANY WAYS. SOME OF THESE ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
LARGER STEERING ANGLE, LONGER SUSPENSION TRAVEL, IMPROVED LIFESPAN AND –
EQUALLY IMPORTANT - A HIGHER MAXIMUM RATED LOAD CAPACITY. NOOTEBOOM HAS
BEEN PRODUCING AXLES FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS. HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE PENDLE
AXLE’S LONG HISTORY.
