EZ-Lube Hubs

E-Z Lube hubs from Dexter are standard equipment on all trailers we manufacture that utilize grease-type hubs. Axles with capacities of 8000 LBS and above will continue to be equipped with oil bath hubs. These hubs improve maintenance productivity and increase “up time” in field operations.

Benefits of EZ-Lube Hubs include:

Grease flows to both outer and inner bearings for a complete repack with no mess.
Rubber Plug eliminates potential to deform metal grease cap while removing.
No disassembly keeps in-service times up and maintenance costs down.
Complete lubrication provides submersible bearing protection.
Will not require specification changes because your Sauber trailers will have it included automatically.

Note: Always inspect and grease hubs per recommendations outlined in Dexter’s Service Manual

Bent Mainframes

Why are bent frame tubes so important?

Look at the frames on vehicle chassis. You will find very little welding. Engineering a design with fewer welds provides structural benefits and is an intelligent thing to do.

Our Bent Structural Tube Trailer Frame has superior, uniform strength throughout the frame. A welded trailer A-frame has stress concentrations at the weld area’s heat-affected zone. A welded A-frame cannot possess the toughness inherent in a continuous, bent tube frame.

Inspection of this type of weld area is challenging because the joint is hidden by multiple weld passes. While this is common for many weld areas, this critical area presents unique challenges. Correct and repeatable steps are necessary. Both sides of the frame must have correctly executed, beveled angle cuts so that they join perfectly with no gaps. At the joint, the beveled surfaces must create a V-groove with the correct dimensions to allow weld penetration. Importantly, none of these aspects can be inspected after welding the joint, nor can the strength of the frame be verified. Additionally, the welded area has a discontinuous surface that is more susceptible to rust and deterioration over time, affecting the strength of the frame.

Our Bent Structural Tube Construction has none of these variables. It is stronger than a welded A-frame every time.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks

Specify Sauber Mfg. Co. All-Weather Wheel Chocks for safety. The grip strut face locks wheels tight on all surfaces in all weather conditions. The chock face grips tight to the tire surface while the motion of the tire wedges the chock between the wheel and the ground. The orange urethane grip handle is highly visible and reminds users to deploy and retrieve it. It is comfortable and easy to grip with gloved or bare hands.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks are unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for the life of the equipment they protect. Available with holders for every application, Sauber All-Weather Wheel Chocks continue to protect people and property decades after we designed and patented them.

Wheel Nut Indicators

During their daily safety check, your operator will be immediately aware of two potentially dangerous conditions with a quick look at our standard wheel nut indicators. The indicator may be pointing outside the circle pattern which will signal that a wheel nut has loosened. The indicator may also have started to blister and distort which indicates it has been exposed to temperatures above 240° which could be an indication of brake or bearing issues. A simple feature, but one that makes a Sauber trailer simpler and safer to operate.
