Who likes what and why??
Trucks at work have steerable and non steerable pushers some are air bag up and some are spring up.The two trucks with steerable pushers do good in corners but you are stuck with a super single style tire.
Non steerable axles are tough in tight corners but you can move tires from the drives to the pusher.
The spring up axles (uses coil springs to lift axle) seem ok but if you have a cop around and have to make a turn and release the air the axle comes off the ground and the cop can write a ticket for a permit violation.
With the air up (uses an airbag to lift the axle) you can release the air and the axle stays on the ground.
A steerable axle while going forward you can leave down in a corner but it has to be raised in reverse as they will counter steer in reverse.
I just want to see what you like and why.
The brand we have more that anything else is Watson & Chalin, 20,000 lbs models
