Stemco announced that its new Auto-Torq axle fastener will be standard equipment on all Great Dane trailers.
“By incorporating the Stemco Auto-Torq axle fastener, we are removing complexity from our installation process,” said Barry Personett, vice president of product and sales engineering for Great Dane. “This works with any industry hub manufacturer, simplifies installation, and extends bearing life by ensuring that the optimum clamp load is applied.”
Introduced to the market earlier this year, the Auto-Torq eliminates the need for complex processes and specialty tools, according to Stemco. It securely applies the optimum clamp load on the bearings every time to minimize wear and maximize service life.
"We believe this all-in-one solution will streamline wheel end installation, with an exclusive extended warranty that provides significant value to our customers,” said Chris Hammond, executive vice president of sales for Great Dane.
The extended warranty includes eight years parts and labor and will be available to customers starting in January of 2024.
