E-Z FLEX HEAVY DUTY RUBBER EQUALIZATION SYSTEM
THE REMEDY FOR ROUGH ROADS
Unfortunately, not all roads are paved equally. Extreme cracks, large potholes, and other road imperfections can challenge a sprung suspension system and ultimately take a toll on the trailer’s frame and contents. Why subject your investment to this kind of road abuse? Demand a better suspension. Demand that your trailer be equipped with Dexter
’s E-Z Flex® Heavy Duty Rubber Equalization System.
AFFORDABLE SOLUTION
Delivers the smooth ride and performance of a premium suspension at a fraction of the cost. Available in retrofit kits or directly from manufacturers as a factory-installed option.
INNOVATIVE SUSPENSION DESIGN
E-Z Flex® is constructed using a resilient rubber core that is permanently held between two equalizer arms. Unaffected by the elements, this core has been scientifically formulated to provide optimal dampening characteristics and long fatigue life.
RETAINS AXLE EQUALIZATION
E-Z Flex® is mounted to a standard hanger which provides a pivot point for equalization of the Suspension systems without this hanger-to-pivot-point relationship sacrifice the ability of the axles to equalize over uneven terrain. During travel, the E-Z Flex® System continuously pivots and compresses to isolate and absorb damaging road shocks before they are sent to the trailer frame and its contents.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
Compare for yourself. Illustrated here are the acceleration forces experienced by an axle and trailer while traveling over railroad tracks at 30 mph. The E-Z Flex® System provides up to an 80% reduction in forces on the trailer frame versus a standard equalizer. In addition, E-Z Flex® significantly outperforms all other competitors in the same road test. The result? A smoother, more protective ride for your trailer and its cargo.
Up to an 80% reduction in force!
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Retrofits to existing leaf spring axles that use 013-104 or 013-122 equalizers. Requires no welding, grinding, or cutting of the trailer fr or axle hangers. Maintains the trailer’s original ride height.
ROBUST COMPONENTS
Standard grease zerks and wet bolts provide easy lubrication for an added level of protection and serviceability. Bronze bushings and heavy duty ½” thick shackle links deliver optimum performance, durability, and product life.
WARRANTY PROTECTION
Extensively tested to ensure product quality and functionality. Backed by a five-year limited warranty from the most respected name in the industry.
