Most standard wheel stud patterns are available on request. Coupled with a choice of brakes including electrical or hydraulic drum brakes or hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical Drum brakes are also available on smaller capacity units.
Most larger capacity units come equipped as standard with all steel hubs and replaceable brake drums or rotors which in turn reduces unsprung weight whilst greatly increasing strength.
Tandem units are available in either straight, overlay or drop configurations offering a wide variation of vehicle ride heights.
