The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ vs New Chassis Replacement

The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ is a cost-effective alternative to replacing the complete chassis of the trailer. The warranty of the suspension and the axles of the ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ is exactly the same as a new trailer, 5 years!

The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ also strengthens the old chassis so the extreme forces that are exerted on the chassis during steering do not compromise the existing trailer frame and utilizes modern air-ride suspensions which are designed for the rigors of heavy haul applications.

The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ VS Future Upcoming Changes

The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ is compatible with the up coming changes that will allow Quad axle semi-trailers (3-1 & tandem, tandem configurations) that were not previously available to be converted, to be converted to meet the S.P.I.F. regulations.

The ‘PHOENIX CONVERSION SYSTEM’ is compatible for other Jurisdictions where converting to air-ride tandem and tridem configurations from older spring and rubber bushing style suspensions is desired without relocating chassis cross members.
