The new-high lift ParaMax Suspension System, now available on all Titan Trailers, offers a more comfortable ride and a longer tire and trailer life for haulers who operate on rough roads and off-road sites.

The ParaMax high-lift steering axle system, designed by Titan Trailers, is rated to 25,000 pounds with steer angles at 30 degrees. The suspension was designed to provide extreme travel and high-lift capabilities of up to 10.5 inches and 13.5 inches of the total axle travel capability for the most demanding on-road and off-road conditions.

The ParaMax suspension is designed around high-travel parallel linkage with the king pin set to 90 degrees to the ground. The parallel mount configuration allows the suspension to lift the axle higher than other steer axles. The additional lift means that Titan Trailers can go where other trailers will not be able to go. It also ensures that the lift plates stay parallel for increased airbag life and significantly reduced tire wear. This configuration provides the axle with more freedom to displace different heights vertically as well as from side to side. The trailers may also be fitted with super single low profile tires to allow even more clearance.

With a greater freedom of movement, the system maintains a comfortable ride on deeply rutted roads and in rough off-road conditions. The design of the suspension allows the left side to vertically adjust to a different height than the right side, relieving potential stress on the axle and the suspension as well as on the trailer itself. With its higher ground clearance in the lifted position, the ParaMax suspension reduces stresses and impacts on the axle, as well as minimizing wear on its tires. By avoiding damage to the system, the trailer will consistently track better in the long run, provide a better ride, increased trailer availability and longer life for the entire body structure and running gear.

Single-axle ParaMax Suspensions are now available on its full line of live-floor trailers.
