Agricultural Equipment

Machines and vehicles in the agricultural industry have to be prepared for all eventualities, for example varying payloads and the most varied ground conditions or as quick-as-possible runs by highway or country road. Some spend most of the year in the shed, only to find themselves in round-the-clock operation for just a few weeks during harvest. No farmer can, or cares to afford unscheduled downtime, which is why they demand quality 'made by BPW'.

For over 100 years, BPW running gear technology has stood for uncompromising reliability and safety, durability and robustness; decisive factors which guarantee that users of vehicles and machines with BPW running gear are kept moving in the farming industry.

BPW offers an unequalled range of products for agricultural machinery including air sprung, hydro pneumatic or mechanical suspension assemblies, axles with adjustable track widths and self-steering axles.

Quality is a standard feature of BPW running gear and that includes optimal rust protection ensured by electro-dip coating and air-sprung suspensions as well as generous brake lining wear capacities for increased service life.

For BPW, quality also means being able to provide the out-of-the-ordinary. For example patented self-steering axles and brake cylinders or specially profiled and reinforced axle beams offering significant advantages in terms of weight and design to cope with the highest levels of stress.

 
Steer Axles

Designed for speeds of up to 65 km/h, the self-steering axle makes for reduced stress on road surfaces, tyres and vehicles. It ensures secure straight-ahead travel and quick steering response when travelling through bends. The solid and hollow axle beams easily handle axle loads of 7,000 - 16,000 kg.  Special features include the patented thrust bearing, flat cam and wing brakes as well as welded brackets optimally tailored to the brake cylinders.  There is one further feature, namely the optional power steered facility with hydraulic cylinders.

Bogie Suspensions for agricultural use

For the farming sector, BPW have released to the Australian market the proven tandem axle assemblies, GSGW and GSBW. These are parabolically sprung single point suspensions, fitted with steel-rubber or bronze bushes, which ensure a particularly high degree of directional stability and equalisation. As well as the standard version, BPW also offers this suspension in steered form, with hydraulic locking or power steering. Various bracket heights and offset centre points of the axle and bearing block pivot, make for improved handling on any farm.

The GSGW model is suitable for a suspension load of up to 18 tonnes at 16km/h tonnes. The GSBW series is designed to carry loads up to 22 tonnes at speeds of 60 km/h.

 
 
Self-Steering Independant Walking Beam Bogies

Tandem axle suspensions are also available for applications involving speeds of up to 40 km/h. The self-levelling facility ensures high directional stability in any situation, whilst beam steering makes for optimum self-steering characteristics. The steering can be hydraulically locked for safe reversing. Suspension loads on this series range from 14 - 40 tonnes at 40 km/h.
