IMT Corp has designed a self-steering axle (SSA) that will turn a full 28° both sides. This axle will work well in all positions on three-, four-, and five- axle trailer applications. The new axle will be constructed in 77.5" track to suit dual-tire applications, and also in 84" track to suit all Super Single tires.

The new axles will also feature a work-hardening alloy in the contact areas of the centralizer mechanism. This will virtually eliminate wear on these components.

IMT will also continue to produce its full line of 20° SSAs. All SSAs will retain:

• Draw keys holding the kingpins firmly in place.
• Sealed bushings in the kingpin area.
• Pneumatic or spring-shock damper systems.
• Fully friction-welded lightweight construction.
• Choice of certified brake friction materials.
• Available “auto reverse lift” system.
• Available “load sensing centralizer/stabilizer” system.
• F22 (N) and F24 (P) bearing combinations.
• Special track widths and hub combinations.
• Drop center and “Camel Back” models.
