POWER RING

To increase the robustness and rigidity of the entire structure of the chassis, Astra has patented the power ring: a closed ring structure of the rear suspension, made up of cast iron carriage shoulders and a lower cross member, which improves the redistribution of forces on the tandem.
This permits a load of up to 40 tons on the rear tandem.

• Reinforced drive axles with 10 ton load

• Rear reinforced axles with 20 +20 ton load.

Heavy duty fifth wheel for the heaviest loads (up to 50 tons of load on the fifth wheel).
