16-Ton FOX Spoke Axle with Mechanical Suspension: Power, Durability, and Safety for Heavy Haulage
In the world of heavy-duty road transport, the quality of your trailer’s understructure is the primary factor in safety and operational efficiency. The 16-ton FOX Spoke Axle with Mechanical Suspension is a high-performance solution engineered specifically for ultra-heavy loads. Combining precision engineering with high-grade raw materials, this axle is designed to dominate the most challenging environments.
Produced under the prestigious FOX brand (a subsidiary of the Maral Industrial Group), this axle is the preferred choice for professionals who refuse to compromise on strength and reliability.
Why the FOX Spoke Axle is the Professional’s Choice
Spoke axles (also known as Spoke Hubs) are renowned in the industry for their simple yet incredibly robust architecture. Unlike disc-wheel axles where the rim is bolted to a flat hub, the spoke design utilizes integral cast "spokes" to secure the wheel.
Key Advantages of the Spoke Design:
- Enhanced Cooling: The open design allows for superior airflow around the brake drums, preventing overheating during long descents.
- Simplified Maintenance: Removing and servicing tires and brake components is faster and more efficient in rugged conditions.
- Structural Resilience: The spoke structure is naturally resistant to high-impact forces, making it ideal for off-road or construction site use.
Outstanding Technical Features
Massive 16-Ton Payload Capacity: Engineered for the heaviest applications, this axle can support up to 16,000 kg (16 tons). It is the perfect fit for heavy-duty flatbeds, fuel tankers, cement bulkers, and tipper trailers operating in dual or triple-axle configurations.
Heavy-Duty 150x150x16mm Axle Beam: The core of this axle is a massive 150x150mm square beam with a 16mm wall thickness. This high-tensile steel profile provides maximum resistance against bending and torsional stress, ensuring the axle remains perfectly aligned even under extreme vertical pressure.
Precision Braking with SN4220 Technology: Safety is paramount when hauling 16 tons. This axle is equipped with the SN4220 Drum Brake system, designed to provide:
- Optimal braking torque in diverse weather conditions.
- High thermal stability to prevent "brake fade."
- Extended service intervals for brake linings.
Mechanical Leaf Spring Suspension: The mechanical spring system is built to absorb severe road shocks and vibrations. By effectively dampening impacts, it protects the trailer chassis from fatigue and ensures the stability of the cargo, even on unpaved roads.
Economic Benefits & Industry Applications
The FOX 16-ton axle is more than a part; it is a strategic asset for your fleet. It is widely used in:
- Construction & Mining: For hauling steel, minerals, and heavy machinery.
- Energy Sector: Ideal for oil and gas tankers requiring maximum stability.
- Infrastructure: Perfect for heavy-duty tippers and bulkers.
Investment Benefits
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: The robust, simple design minimizes the need for expensive repairs.
- Extended Trailer Lifespan: By reducing stress on the chassis, the FOX axle adds years to your trailer’s operational life.
- Reliable After-Sales Support: As a product of the Maral Industrial Group, you gain access to a comprehensive network of spare parts and technical expertise.

-
What are the main benefits of a Spoke Axle over a traditional Hub-Pilot Axle?
Spoke axles offer better heat dissipation for brakes and are generally easier to maintain in heavy-duty off-road environments. They are also highly valued for their durability in mining and construction sectors.
-
Is the SN4220 brake system compatible with standard trailer air systems?
Yes, the SN4220 is a standard-compliant drum brake that integrates seamlessly with most international pneumatic braking systems.
-
Can this axle be used in a tri-axle configuration for 48-ton loads?
Absolutely. When used in a tri-axle setup, these axles provide a combined capacity that exceeds standard transport requirements, offering a significant safety margin.
-
How do FOX axles contribute to tire longevity?
The extreme rigidity of the 150x150mm beam prevents "axle flex," ensuring that tires maintain a perfect contact patch with the road, which prevents uneven tire wear.
