Description

Overview

VE50 10ft suspension rocker is a long equaliser-style rocker used in Freighter VE50 mechanical suspension. As the suspension moves, it helps share load between axles and keep the walking action balanced across the group. When the rocker or pivot area wears, suspension movement can go out of balance, so accurate matching matters before major rebuild work begins.

Features

• Suits Freighter VE50 mechanical suspension layouts
• Long rocker format used in 10′ tri axle applications
• Dimensional guide of A 480mm, B 790mm and C 120mm for part matching
• Uses tapered equaliser bushes and separate pin hardware

Specifications and Materials

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the pivot, bushes, pin and nearby hanger points at the same time, because rocker wear often shows up with bush or pin wear as well. If the measured dimensions or VE50 layout do not match the original assembly, stop and recheck the suspension before fitting the part.

Trailer Applications

VE50 10ft suspension rocker is used in Freighter mechanical suspension on 10′ tri axle trailer layouts where a long rocker is needed to balance axle movement. It is relevant during suspension rebuilds, accident repairs and worn equaliser change-outs, especially when the trailer is showing poor load sharing or uneven suspension movement.
