Diamond C Unveils New Trailers for 2023 4K

What happens here

The presenter highlights a new 'Slipper Roller' suspension system, manufactured by Lippert. This innovative suspension allows the trailer's components to roll rather than bind, push, or twist during operation, which traditionally leads to wear. The system features internal bushings and rubber shock absorption for increased longevity and reduced maintenance. This new suspension will be available first on Diamond C's 7K and 8K axles.

Goal: Learn about the new suspension system's mechanics and benefits.

Tools and materials

  • Bushings — Reducing friction and wear within the suspension
  • Rubber Shock Absorption — Dampening impacts and vibrations

to show you is our new suspension this is made by whipper and this is called a Lippard slipper roller so if you see right in here this is physically going to Rome right so it's it's it's it's called a roller for a reason um so you've got that then you also actually have bushings in here that help for uh longer life less maintenance virtually no maintenance on these things and then you're also going to have the shock absorption here from these rotors and these are new yes sir and that roller is new so what's happening is as the trailer is going up and down instead of this being bound up now this is engine can float and so it's going to give you probably I'm going to guess and you guys tell me if you if my thinking you think is right or wrong longer life because now we're not stuck and pushing and twisting on that we're allowing it to free move but we haven't taken away any of the suspension from it yes absolutely all right cool yeah yeah a lot longer is that better or worse you guys tell me in the comments below when is that coming out now so that's something that should be out in November oh of this year 2023 yes and this is something that we're going to roll out first with all of our 7K and 8K axes
