DCA Axle series
The DCA series offers an extremely versatile modular design that is compatible with nearly all trailers, from platform semitrailers, curtain-siders, tippers, tankers and bulk distribution. With multiple specialised versions available, these axle systems ensure maximum flexibility and operational efficiency.
DCA Weightmaster
The core member of the axle series, the WEIGHTMASTER excels in payload optimisation with its lightweight design - from just 376 kg. Its modular construction makes it compatible with nearly all trailers, from platform semitrailers to curtain-siders, tippers, tankers, and bulk distribution vehicles.
DCA STEERMASTER
Featuring a maximum 21-degree steering angle, the STEERMASTER navigates tight turns with ease while maintaining the series' lightweight design. This specialised axle reduces tyre wear and fuel consumption, making it ideal for applications requiring enhanced maneuverability.
DCA AIRMASTER
As the world's only axle that stores compressed air within its housing, the AIRMASTER eliminates the need for conventional compressed-air tanks. This innovative design frees up valuable space beneath the trailer while reducing weight by up to 50 kg.
DCA MEGAMASTER
Designed specifically for large-volume semitrailers with three-meter interior heights, the MEGAMASTER caters to high-volume road haulage applications. Despite its low ride height, it maintains full access to loading docks for efficient operation.
DCA PAVEMASTER
Optimised for road construction applications, the PAVEMASTER features a specialised air bellow support design ideal for tippers in road finisher operations. Built to meet the demanding requirements of road construction, it maintains the series' high standards of durability.
Advanced Features
Compact Bearing Technology
The DCA series utilises state-of-the-art compact bearing technology, proven across millions of applications. This maintenance-free design requires no re-adjustment and is backed by a comprehensive warranty.
Integrated Design
The innovative monocoque construction integrates the trailing arm, axle tube, brake flange, and axle journal into a single, perfect unit. This integration reduces components while enhancing durability and performance.
WEIGHT OPTIMISER 27
This optional aluminium air bellow support maximises payload capacity, saving an additional 9kg per axle. For tri-axle semitrailers, this amounts to a 27kg reduction, significantly improving transport efficiency.
Tyre Inflation Systems
Available across the DCA series, JOST's Plug & Play tyre inflation system automatically maintains optimal tyre pressure, reducing accident risks and unplanned maintenance while improving fuel efficiency.
