The Liteflex
Advantage
Weighs Less – Parabolic/Tapered designs weigh one third that of steel, allowing for overall weight reduction, greater hauling capacity and improved fuel economy.
Lasts Longer – Liteflex Composite Springs do not rust, won’t lose strength with age and never sag, providing a fatigue life of five times that of steel springs.
Reduces Maintenance – With no air bags, shocks, or leveling valves, Liteflex Composite Springs substantially reduce maintenance costs.
Increases Tire Life – After replacing inferior, multi-leaf steel springs, some customers have reported a 200%-300% increase in tire life.
Rides Smoother – Liteflex Composite Springs reduce road noise and vibration for a softer ride and excellent cargo and trailer protection.
Highest Temperature Resistance – Superior epoxy resin helps Liteflex springs resist up to 165°C (325°F) versus 130°C (265°F) for our competitors’ urethane.
Safety – Liteflex Composite Springs are more dependable, nearly indestructible and have a safety feature allowing for continued driving to a maintenance facility.
Continuously Improving – Liteflex is currently seeking truck and fleet operators to participate in a study of improved tire wear on vehicles utilizing Liteflex springs.
Proven – 21,000,000+ installations in vehicles around the world, Liteflex has been innovating since 1981.
Award-Winning – Liteflex is only 1 of 80 suppliers to receive GM's annual award for Global Supplier Quality Excellence.

Pohl Transportation switched our entire trailer fleet to Liteflex composite springs about 10 years ago as we found them to be more reliable, economical and operationally efficient than the alternatives. Given this experience, I would definitely recommend Liteflex composite springs to anyone looking to improve their operations.

Dibble Trucking has been using Liteflex Springs for over 20 years. We are currently running them on 70 of our MC331 LP trailers. The ride is comparable to Air Ride and much lighter than steel springs. Very impressive given the weight we carry and the miles we travel. Thank you for a great product!

I'm getting twice the life out of my tires and can only attribute this to my composite steer axle springs. Thank you, Liteflex, for a truly great product!

We used to get 75,000 to 90,000 miles from our steer axle tires. Now [with Liteflex Class 8 composite steer axle springs], we’re seeing 200,000 to 250,000 miles before pulling tires.

TareLite Trailer builds for hauling over unimproved, dirt roads and through rough yards for farms and feedlots. Despite this unpredictable terrain, the Liteflex composite class 8 steer axle springs on our Freightliner soften the ride and provide well-behaved, predictable stability – even at railroad crossings.
