When applications demand the best in self-steering axles, the world turns to IMT Self-Steer Axles. Built strong for light and heavy duty applications, IMT Self-Steer Axles provide you with longer tire life and better gas mileage for real cost savings and safer hauling.
In many countries, Self-Steering Axles are being legislated by Transportation Ministries because they are recognized as significantly safer for narrow, winding highways. Leading King Pin technology adds greater stability over traditional "forced-steer" systems. Self-Steer Axles also carry the most popular industry standard spindles. Axle tubes can be straight beam or up to 9" drop-centre. A reverse locking cylinder also improves safety. Available with a Stabilizer Shock or Torpress and a 20 degree turning radius, IMT Self-Steer Axles are full featured and superior systems.
