XST31A

The GreenSteering® XST31A is the linear trailer steering system for central and regional distribution. Its optimal manoeuvrability and extremely well-balanced steering system ensure relaxed driving. Thanks to the steered axle, you save on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The GreenSteering® XST31A provides:

Optimal manoeuvrability
Less fuel consumption
Longer tyre life
Less CO2 emissions

With one steered trailer, you transport as much volume as with 10 vans or 1.5 box trucks. Fewer trips, means less damage to the environment. The unique worldwide patented Lineare GreenSteering® system is lighter and more durable than other steering systems. Applicable to various types of trailers.

Facts about the XST31A

The XST31A has a smaller turning circle than a non-steered semi-trailer, making it ideal for downtown deliveries.

Safer

The GreenSteering® XST31A steering module provides a higher level of safety than a rigid axle trailer. The extreme manoeuvrability and linear character of the steering system make turning and reversing extremely easy. Safer for pedestrians and cyclists. GreenSteering® restricts jackknifing. Safer for the driver and the public.
Better for your tyres and roads

A non-steered rigid semi-trailer and a semi-trailer with a trailing axle generate a high level of friction between the tyres and the road surface when turning, causing damage to the road. This doesn’t happen with the GreenSteering® XST31A module with which almost no friction is generated when steering. Lower costs for the taxpayer and for the user.
Higher loading capacity

The XST31A from GreenSteering® ensures a higher loading capacity than trailers equipped with other mechanical steering systems. The axles are further apart, reducing the risk of overloading.
More stable road behaviour

The GreenSteering® XST31A steers the rear axle of the semi-trailer so that the driver experiences extreme manoeuvrability at low speeds and stability at higher speeds. Because the rear axle is actively steered, reversing manoeuvres are just as easy as forward manoeuvres. There is no need to lock an axle when reversing as it is with a self-steered axle. No noise generated by the scrubbing of tyres, making the system ideal for downtown transport movements at night. With the GreenSteering® system, you will be able to access locations that would be inaccessible with a rigid trailer, enabling you to transport more freight to “difficult to reach locations” than ever before in a single trip – and at less cost to you.
