“SOLO” HANDLING SOLUTIONS

SOLO is a new De Angelis’ brand created for the purpose of unifying in a complete range the innovative handling solutions (steering and suspension systems) developed by the Company over decades of experience in the special trailer industry.

“ONE-SCOPIC” HYDRAULIC INDEPENDENT SUSPENSIONS

ONE-SCOPIC independent suspension is a patented technology representing a real revolution in this sector.

Compared to other similar systems, ONE-SCOPIC is today the lightest and the most compact technical solution.

Besides this, ONE-SCOPIC is characterized by 2 additional technical pluses:

• the suspension always works perpendicularly at whatever height. This characteristic allows to avoid the change in tyres track and camber settings (technical inconvenient of both “Multilink” and “McPherson” inspired solutions).
• steering angle: up to 62° (with a loading platform 2.55 m wide). This impressive result can now be achieved only by pendle suspensions but only with a loading platform wider than 2.75 m or axles steering on turntables (the loading platform should be significantly higher)

ONE-SCOPIC with 12 t loading capacity on each line of axles has been specifically developed for the heavy load sector.

The top-quality materials, the special chromium plating and the use of high-strength steels welded with special techniques ensure very high strength and full operability and reliability for heavy use even at extreme temperatures (-40 °C/+70 °C) and in “dirty” environments (mud, sand, dust, salt).

STEERING TECHNOLOGIES DST (Dura-Steer Technology): an exclusive steering kinematism ensuring to get the performance of a “progressive” steering system with the typical reliability and the practically no-maintenance of a “linear” steering system.

Main advantages:

• perfect correspondence / reactivity / steering response of the trailer with the direction given by the tractor
• enhanced resistance and long operating life of the system without formation of slacks
• maintenance practically drop to nothing
• manoeuvres between tractor and semitrailer without maximum limits in the steering angle

ERS (Electronic Realignment System): the first “real” automatic realignment system. With ERS the axles are not simply realigned with the body of the semitrailer, but with the exact direction of the towing tractor. Compared to other systems, ERS is safer and faster, as no further corrections are necessary while driving.

EMS (Easy Manoeuvring System): an electro­hydraulic kit and a remote control make it possible to control the self-steering axle at manoeuvring speed in both directions. This light and economical solution will make the driver’s life easier when coming across a difficult manoeuvre!

HYDRO-LIFT: an innovative lift dedicated to One-Scopic independent hydraulic suspensions that fully recreates the same automatic operation of traditional air lifts in a closed-loop hydraulic system.
