Future through innovation
As the world’s only axle that stores compressed air for the brakes and air suspension in the axle housing, the DCA Airmaster is able to dispense with the conventional compressed-air tanks that appear on trailers or semitrailers, thereby freeing up space beneath the trailer as well as reducing weight by up to 50 kg. The DCA Airmaster paves the way for the introduction of trailblazing vehicle concepts.

Twin Lifts
The Twin Lifts are suitable for all applications with medium and high ride heights. They are characterised by their robust construction and low weight. The Twin Lifts reduce effort to a minimum even when retrofitted and are geared towards special usage cases.
Twin Lift “Rocker”
Twin lifts “Rocker” are designed for use in mega-trailers and other vehicles of a low ride height. They offer maximum ground clearance thanks to their shallow and stable construction, even for vehicles of a low ride height. Thanks to their lifting power, the Twin lifts “Rocker” are suitable for use with both the DCA series and the DCA Steermaster.
Z-section
The Z-section is supplied as a welded one-piece construction with integrated hanger brackets. It can standardise your chassis production and give it flexibility by relocating structural elements into known areas.
Brake wear indicator (BWI)
The equipment of the BWI offers the option of showing a signal on the dashboard when the brake linings reach the minimum permitted thickness. The need for monitoring the vehicle is reduced, brake pad replacement becomes predictable, total loss of the disc brakes is avoided and the availability of the vehicle is ensured. Safety is also enhanced since all functions are available.
Cover ring for wheel bolts
The cover ring for wheel bolts is fitted to the hub with the wheel bolts.
It covers the wheel bolts and wheel nuts. In addition to enhancing the vehicle‘s
appearance, it also protects the wheel bolts and wheel nuts from damage and
helps to prevent injury in the event of an accident.
