Weight-Optimised High-Precision Axle Units.

The innovative ROTOS®+ axle units from Schmitz Cargobull ensure optimised tracking and driving safety, lower tyre wear and more economical fuel consumption for your box vehicles.

During production we reduce the thermal influences on the axle tubes to a minimum in the interests of maintaining the perfect tracking of our wheels: The axle guides are shrunk on and the axle stubs are friction welded. The optimised shape of the axle tubes and guides substantially increases the stability and reduces the weight of the ROTOS®+ axle unit.
Overall, the new axle unit generation offers you greater safety at lower operating costs.

The Advantages at a Glance

  • Precision-manufactured axles for perfectly parallel wheel tracking
  • Reduced axle unit weight
  • Lower unladen vehicle weight
  • Improved handling through lower mass
  • Optionally available with light wheel end and 19.5" disc brakes
New spring geometry and lower mass: The precise suspension and damping improves handling. The optimised shape of the new ROTOS®+ axle tube significantly increases the axle's vertical regidity.

Light Wheel End – The Weight-Saving Solution.

The new axle is also available with the light wheel end with 19.5" disc brakes. The reduced mass optimises the trailer's suspension and handling. You have the choice: A special adapter ring enables the new wheel head to be combined with both wheel types – with wheel bolt ring or directly with the hub.
