2008 Mid-America Trucking Show: Reyco Granning® Launches DockMaster 2.1 Air Ride Slider

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Reyco Granning® – a commercial vehicle suspension product line of Tuthill Transport Technologies – has further distinguished itself as the leader in product quality, value, and availability with the launch of the 20AR/RS3162 DockMaster 2.1 Air Ride Slider. An improved version of the popular DockMaster, the DockMaster 2.1 is a full-featured air ride suspension that promises to be the lightest, and most durable, van slider on the market.

The DockMaster 2.1 is designed for all standard heavy-duty trailer applications including dry freight and refrigerated vans. It is strong enough to stand up to curbing and other abuse, without walking or dropping away from the dock.

The anti-dock drop and anti-dock walk solution is built into the DockMaster 2.1 without complicated add-ons, resulting in a reduced risk of injury to the fork truck driver and less damage to the load.

The DockMaster 2.1 also offers the industry’s lowest cost of operation, thanks in part to mid-width trailing beams and 4.5-in. wide pivot bushings, which reduce weight while giving long life and a better ride. Low weight allows fleets to haul more freight and save on fuel costs.

The DockMaster 2.1 also provides industry-leading durable construction, which promises to last well beyond the most extended trailer-trade cycle.

In addition, fleet drivers will find the DockMaster 2.1’s Flexi-Pull™ pin-release system provides less hassle, less effort, and greater operator safety and the Reyco Granning Rey-Align® System provides true one-person slider alignment.

“DockMaster 2.1 offers one of the best combinations of features and benefits in the market today,” said Greg Rocque, President of Tuthill Transport Technologies.
