ArvinMeritor’s new line of trailer-arm air ride suspensions feature three technological advancements with distinct operating benefits, according to the company. The Meritor Trailing-Arm Air (MTA) series was recently unveiled, but its various high-mount and low-mount models will produced beginning in the fall of this year and continuing through the summer of 2011. Available on platform trailers, this series utilizes a patented pivot bushing for a softer ride, more cargo protection, better tire wear and controlled roll steer; larger, more robust shock absorbers for greater suspension control, improved braking and enhanced handling; and a unique, patent-pending axle wrap design for secure and durable axle connection.

The MTA series of top-mount and low-mount models completes the company’s lineup of air suspension solutions. Final customer integration and manufacturing readiness—on the first model, the MTA23—continues through summer, with production launch in fall 2010.
