The new DCA Railmaster is designed for use in combined road-rail-sea transport. If a semitrailer is lifted by crane, conventional air bellows can be damaged while the vehicle is being set down. That is why the air bellows of the DCA Railmaster consist of
two interlocking components which can separate during lifting without air and ensure the optimal position of the air bellows when the semitrailer is set down.

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 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.
The centrally welded location of the mid-lift onto the axle ensures maximum ground clearance for vehicles, who may require space for additional features within the chassis. The welded connection to the axle housing, is light and maintenance-free, with the additional benefit of using the standard suspension air bellows as the lift bellows.
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.
DCA chassis with wheel offset 120 in rigid, steered or air tank-integrated versions are also available with a plug & play solution for tyre inflation systems. Moreover, because the JOST plug & play solution for tyre inflation systems is compatible with all common control devices, no further assembly or modification is required on the axles. Tyre filling systems reduce both tyre wear and fuel consumption, thus helping to reduce costs in the fleet.
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.
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.
