Sterling Truck Suspension Options Sterling Truck TufTrac - Proven Off-Road Performance Our job-proven high-performance vocational suspension was designed specifically for on/off road high articulation operations where it's important to traverse bumps, ridges and washboard without "bottoming out," even during "crisscross" articulation. TufTrac 2-Stage - Improved Unladen Ride Sterling's new TufTrac 2-Stage provides all of the high-performance features of the standard TufTrac, but also provides an improved unladen ride (by up to 30%) by using a 2-stage center bearing with a soft spring rate. Features include: Uniform Wheel Loading During Articulation Whether your truck is loaded or unloaded, the unique design of TufTrac and TufTrac 2-Stage allows it to maintain a uniform load over each wheel as the suspension articulates. By maintaining an even load over each wheel, both TufTrac models retain maximum traction, giving you the confidence to cross even the roughest job site. Spectacular Ride Most vocational spring suspensions use springs designed to carry heavy loads that have an extremely harsh ride when the vehicle is loaded. The same with suspensions using rubber load cushions. TufTrac's combination of rubber-isolated pivot points and parabolic taper-leaf springs ensures a smooth ride, whether loaded or unloaded, minimizing wear and tear on both truck and driver. TufTrac 2-Stage provides and even better unladed ride (up to 30%) via the use of a 2-stage center bearing with a soft spring rate. Maintenance-Free Design All moving joints are contained in rubber elastomers that require no periodic adjustments or lubrication. Sterling Truck AirLiner Suspensions The ingenious, no-maintenance design that save weight and operating costs while superbly cushioning you, your vehicle and your load. Compared to steel suspensions, AirLiner delivers greater comfort and, consequently, provides better handling and protection for the load. Because AirLiner suspension systems offer substantially fewer parts than competing systems, they offer greater reliability and need less servicing attention in the long run. They require no lubrication, of course, which means little or no routine maintenance. AirLiner is priced to make it the good economic choice when the job calls for air suspension. Resale price comparisons prove that trucks equipped with air ride suspensions command a higher resale value versus trucks equipped with standard spring suspensions. AirLiner's proven combination of trailing arm leaf springs and self-leveling, rolling-lobe air bags provides a uniformly soft spring ride, smoothing the ridges and filling the ruts like only premium air suspension can. To really appreciate the ingenuity of the AirLiner design, look at the leaf-spring trailing arms slung under the axle housings. You'll see the AirLiner design provides plenty of room for installing the low fifth wheels required by today's tallest trailers. You'll also find that the arms bend 35 degrees at the rear, doubling as the air bag supports and eliminating the complexity of mounting the air springs separately, on cross beams or tubes. Simple and reliable. To produce the relatively constant spring rate necessary for optimum cushioning performance, an air ride suspension must maintain a relatively constant ride height. AirLiner utilizes a premium rotary valve to fulfill this height-control function. Why a rotary type valve? Because the efficiency of a conventional, rubber-seat valve can deteriorate with age, altering not only the spring rate but also the driveline angle, possibly shortening the driveshaft life. Suspensions that aren't afraid of the scale AirLiner single and tandem air ride suspensions are lightweight champions. These suspensions are naturally lean because there are fewer parts to begin with. And they feature aluminum brackets on all but the 23,000-lb. and 46,000-lb. severe-service models, and an aluminum center crossmember on the standard-duty 40,000-lb. model. Composite or aluminum air-bag pistons can be added on all models.
