Centre axle trailers use
Rigid/fixed drawbars
These trailers have up to a maximum of three axles in the centre of the vehicle. A rigid drawbar on the vehicle frame forms the connection to the truck. The central position of the axle(s) enables the trailer to be steered. The drawbar installation is described as ‘rigid’ because it is fixed to the frame and cannot flex up or down independently to the vehicle. To improve driving characteristics, centre axle trailers are coupled as close as possible to the rear axle of truck or trailer.
Pin couplings – The safest choice
For heavy-duty transports and extreme wear in harsh conditions the pin coupling type is the safest and mostconvenient, By its foo-proof locking mechanism and easy handling when coupling and uncoupling, it is the safestchoice both for the vehicle owner, the truck driver, and other road-users. With a totally sae and wel-tried couplingyou avoid failure and accidents.
The pin coupling, with its sturdy and uncomplicated construction, requires very little maintenance while providinga long product life.
What is A/B?
You can have most of the manual Ringfeder couplings in either the A or the B variant.
A = Short hand lever in upper position
B = Long hand lever in lower position
What is AM/RL?
The original Ringfeder Air Module / Red Line (AM/RL) adds the convenient pneumatical opening of the coupling. Another advantage of the original is the 50 percent higher closing power compared to a standard coupling. This makes coupling and uncoupling faster and safer. The air-assisted operation will save time and improve productivity.
AM/RL couplings can be operated by your control unit of choice.

The drawbar eye
The towing eye is as essential as any other component in the truck and trailer coupling chain. It is always a good idea to select a high-quality drawbar eye. A high-quality eye will better resist wear and accordingly, reduce visits to the workshop for replacing worn-out bushes. A high-quality product will provide a longer service life and reduced total cost of ownership. Ringfeder drawbar eyes comply with applicable regulations and standards.
Mounting options
There are different options for mounting the towing eye to the drawbar:
- Weld a fastening plate to the drawbar, then bolt the eye to the fastening plate
- Screw a threaded eye to a correspondingly threaded drawbar
- Weld the eye directly to the drawbar
Reliability and operation
Reliability is most important to avoid unnecessary downtime. Accordingly, well-tried mechanical constructions will facilitate for the driver and reduce maintenance and repair. All Ringfeder products are most reliable with minimal service and maintenance required.
Repeatedly coupling and uncoupling can be time-consuming. Air assisted opening (AM/RL models) will reduce strain and save time for the driver.
Availability
Wear parts must eventually be replaced, and couplings may accidentally be damaged. Always make sure that coupling parts and service is available when ever and where ever you may need it. Ringfeder parts are available globally with minimal standstill as a result, should the accident occur.
