Towing in remote terrain—whether you’re navigating the Scottish Highlands, the dunes of the Middle East, or the rugged tracks of Southeast Asia—has always been limited by traditional suspension. At Ride Solutions, the main authorised distributor of Timbren products for EMEA and Asia, we believe your trailer should never be your weakest link.
The culprit is almost always the traditional through-axle. It is the lowest, most vulnerable point of any trailer, prone to catching on rocks, deep ruts, and debris. Our solution is simple: eliminate it entirely.
From Military Origins to Global Adventure
The “Axle-Less” story began over a decade ago when the US military required trailers that could follow a tow vehicle anywhere, regardless of the terrain, specifically for battlefield medics. In 2010, Timbren refined this concept into the award-winning suspension system available today. Now, through Ride Solutions, this game-changing technology is available to off-roaders and commercial operators throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
The Axle-Less Advantage
By removing the through-axle beam, you gain maximum ground clearance and true independent suspension. Each wheel moves completely independently, ensuring your trailer doesn’t “walk” or bounce over diagonal obstacles, providing a quiet, smooth towing experience on any surface.
Precision Engineering for the International Market
Built for builders who demand the best, the system features:
- Progressive Spring Technology: Uses Timbren’s Aeon® natural rubber Jounce and Rebound springs to ensure absolute stability, whether you are hauling a fully loaded overland rig or travelling completely empty.
- Simple Chassis Integration: The heavy-duty steel hanger includes a standard 50mm (2-inch) square aperture for optional cross-member reinforcement, acting as a template for easy bolt-on installation to UK and EU trailer frames.
- Silent Performance: Premium urethane bushings with machined grease grooves eliminate the frustrating “squeak and rattle” of traditional European leaf springs.
- Rapid Field Repair: If a spindle is damaged in a remote location, it can be replaced in minutes on the side of the trail by removing just four bolts.
