There are different types of steering undercarriages to choose from.
Quad Steer or 4 Wheels Steer is a very popular trailer. In conjunction with our tuggers, the 4 Wheel Steer trailers are primarily used to deliver/pickup parts and finished product along a specified route with multiple carts in tow. Each Quad Steer trailer follows inline, tracking behind each other, holding a line within inches around corners. This precision tracking offers a huge advantage in plants where aisle width is at a premium.
Spindle Steer trailers allow each wheel to turn independently from the axle offering minimal pivot or sway at the center of the cart, creating a stable base when cornering. This steering feature is very similar to that of an automobile, allowing maximum stability while lessening fatigue on the trailer structure and wheel components.
Fifth Wheel Steer (typical wagon steering), was the norm during the early days of trailer steering design, but still remains a viable option. This steering undercarriage has a fixed rear axle and pivoting front axle. With this type steering wider aisles are required. Due to the lack of tracking ability, the operator has to make a wider turn depending on the number of trailer being pulled. If aisle space is not a factor, then the 5th wheel steer trailer is a viable alternative.
