Due to the worsening road conditions, especially for vehicles that travel on off-road conditions, BPW has introduced a new type 36 and 36k air bag bottom plate that only has an 80 mm offset option instead of the traditional 45/80 offset. This was done as most trailers are built with the 80 mm offset, and by removing the additional offset holes, the plate can be stiffened.

Through continual efforts to ensure a quality AirSave tyre inflation system for our customers, BPW is always seeking new solutions to increase the lifespan of our equipment, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimal system and tyre performance on all the equipped trailers. BPW is therefore implementing the following two changes on future AirSave installations

BPW Axles will be replacing the 1x56 trailing arm used on clamped suspension trailers with spring centers above 1 200 mm with the new and improved LightTube. The change will happen during quarter 1 of 2025. This change is to assist operators by reducing the weight of the running gear, with each LightTube trailing arm being approximately 7kg lighter. This results in a weight saving of 42 kg for a tridem axle trailer.
