The York India engineering and R&D team is dedicated to custom building equipment for customers with a constant focus on developing & testing new products. Fleets can also feel confident that they will be supported in the areas that have always mattered most – reducing weight and down time, product support, customisation and genuine spare parts.

There is nothing like York’s level of customisation, and the performance of York’s recently launched Q13 axle with well-proven YTE 75/90 suspension has really set it apart from its rivals in the tip trailer segment.

The wheel ends of Q13 axle are engineered for outboard configuration, with extra strength provided by bigger parallel 90 diameter journal taper roller bearings. They also benefit from York’s unique self-locking design and auto-grease function, allowing busy maintenance staff to replace the grease even without removing the tyre and hub. York-pic-3The 150×165 mm rectangular beam of Q13 axle keeps control on bending moment even in overload condition and improves the tyre life.

“These special features not only mean ease of assembly and maintenance for our customers; they also guarantee longer lifespan for the axles – critical in such a cost conscious industry,” said Mr. G.S. Chatterjee, COO, York India. “These special features not only mean ease of assembly and maintenance for our customers, they also guarantee longer lifespan for the axles, critical in such a cost conscious industry.”

Well proven in toughest of road conditions

York-pic-1York has also kept safety in mind, as usual. The Q13 axle’s Q-type brake shoe offers improved performance on 420 x 180 drum brakes. These axles have an attractive appearance. The Q13’s superior on-road aesthetic comes from its six point aluminium die cast York hub cap. York’s beam structure and wheel ends are already proven in the field, consistently meeting challenges right across the globe.

“York has already sold more than 1,000 axles of this latest model in India. Most of them are sold in the Chhattisgarh mining area where road conditions are the toughest and customers want a most reliable product for survival.

York-pic-2York’s YTE 75/90 suspension is a well-proven product even on the worst roads in the mining area and is thus a most preferred product in the tip trailer segment. Recently York has introduced high lube self-lubricated vesconite bushes in this suspension for hassle-free maintenance. These bushes require only one-time greasing.
