Widening your possibilities
The DCA Weightmaster is the core member of the axle series. Its low weight – from just 381 kg, depending on which version – coupled with its durability, the advantage of fewer components (due to its monocoque design) coupled to the maintenance-free compact bearings, makes it ideal for use in the European transport industry. With its modular design, it is compatible with nearly all trailers, from platform semitrailers, curtainsiders, tippers, tankers and bulk distribution. The DCA Weightmaster is compatible with 19.5“ or 22.5“ wheels.

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.
Midlift
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.
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.
Tyre inflation system
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.
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.
