Compact Wheel Bearing Technology
The maintenance-free SAF compact wheel bearing technology is based on two tapered roller bearings of equal size. The bearings in the hub convert the translational movement of the vehicle into a rotational movement of the wheels and take over the lateral forces for guiding the vehicle. In recent years, they have become the European standard for wheel bearings in trailers.
Wheel bearings are subjected to great stresses in daily operation, especially in multi-axle, rigid trailer axle units. They must function just as reliably at high and low temperatures as under extreme environmental influences.
SAF-HOLLAND's compact wheel bearing technology always works reliably even under demanding conditions. The friction-optimized sealing geometry on the bearing fulfills two tasks: It holds the specially matched high-performance lubricant securely in the compact bearing and at the same time prevents environmental influences from penetrating from the outside.
The inner bearing dimensions are designed for maximum support span. In accordance with the axle load equivalent, there is a standard variant and a wider scaled heavy-duty version.
-
Maintenance-free due to the encapsulated and permanently lubricated compact bearing
-
Easy assembly and replacement of the complete wheel hub
-
If necessary, simple repair by dismantling the bearing unit to preserve the value of the vehicle

Axle, smartphone app and NFC chip – that is all that will be needed to quickly and reliably identify parts. For fast and reliable repairs, SAF-HOLLAND will be using the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in its SH CONNECT app in the future, turning smartphones into workshop assistants
The SAF TrailerMaster from the SAF-HOLLAND Group makes transport processes digital: The telematics system makes trailers smart, connects components and supplies digital data in real time. For fleet managers, the future-proof trailer management offers even more added value, as they can see the status of their entire fleet at a glance, manage it and evaluate maintenance procedures.
The SAF INTRA can already look back at more than 20 years of success. The air suspension system from SAF-HOLLAND is available in many variants for a variety of different transport tasks in the 9-ton sector and has proven itself a million times over. The secret behind its success: The suspension is under continuous further development in close coordination with the fleet customers. The economical and maintenance-friendly SAF INTRA keeps setting new technological standards, for example with the electrically driven axles.
