Smooth Ride

The CRK 20 Air Ride Upper Coupler uses internal air springs with surrounding air tanks to provide excellent vibration damping in a very compact space. Tests prove that the CRK 20 reduces shock and vibration by at least 50% for rigs equipped with air ride suspension systems and 80% for rigs equipped with steel sprung suspensions.

The Tartan CRK 20 Air Ride Upper Coupler dramatically reduces the risk of damage to valuable cargoes. Even though a rig is equipped with an air ride axle suspension, the CRK 20 further reduces road shock and vibration by a whopping 50% - at a minimum. By providing a vastly smoother ride, this air ride fifth wheel plate dramatically extends tire life and improves fuel mileage, saving you money.

Dependable 

The CRK 20 is made of high tensile, heavily reinforced steel. The air spring system is surrounded by the unit's steel construction and is not exposed to road hazards faced by other air suspensions. However, in the event of loss in air pressure for any reason, the upper plate simply closes onto the bottom plate. The smooth ride would be affected but not the operating schedule. Studies prove that Tartan's CRK 20 significantly reduces vibration-induced metal fatigue cracking on trailers and tanks and general deterioration to the entire rig, reducing your maintenance costs.
