• Western Star now offering Neway ADZ suspensions

    Aug. 26, 2014

    Western Star Trucks is now offering the Neway ADZ series of heavy-duty drive axle air suspensions as options on its truck models.

    The suspensions, from SAF-Holland, are available to order for the 4800, 4900 and 6900 truck models.

    The ADZ series suspensions feature a streamlined design that has reduced weight by more than 220 lbs. per axle (compared to previous models), the company said. The durable suspensions are ideal for severe-duty and heavy-duty vocational applications.

    Additional features, such as an integral lower control arm module, improve roll stability for high center of gravity load vehicles.

    “Western Star trucks already are constructed with the strongest components that withstand the harshest environments, making the new ADZ Series suspensions an ideal match for our trucks,” said Ann Demitruk, director of marketing for Western Star. “Our vocational customers will appreciate this tough and stable solution.”

    The ADZ Series suspensions are available in single, tandem and tridem axle configurations, ranging from 23,000 lbs. to 78,000 lbs.
