Maxle: Maxle By Silent Drive, Inc.


How Do I Maximize My Payload: How Do I Maximize My Payload Past Trucks and bodies were built smaller Could max your capacity and be legal weight Federal bridge laws were not enforced


How Do I Maximize My Payload: How Do I Maximize My Payload Present Trucks and bodies are larger Can’t max your load without being overweight Answer add load carrying axles Still had a problem with overall bridge to max out capacity


How Do I Maximize My Payload: How Do I Maximize My Payload Future Need to lengthen the bridge with load carrying axle But not inhibit the operation of the truck Put the axle where it pays the most!


Introducing the Maxle: Introducing the Maxle DB series FL series FM series


Maxle - DB: Maxle - DB For dump bodies Does not impede loading or dumping applications while stowed in up position Raises and lowers with standard P.T.O. Air ride suspension for a softer ride 80 inch track steer axle offers maximum stability

Maxle - DB: Maxle - DB Does Not Restrict Unloading into Paver!


Maxle - DB: Maxle - DB Full body open for loading with Maxle raised.


Why the Maxle vs. Competition: Why the Maxle vs. Competition Air ride suspension vs. hydraulic pressure for smoother and safer ride Lightweight to maximize productive profit on increased payload Total modular unitized construction offers reduced installation time and cost Allows side loading while raised Improved stability for driver comfort and confidence

Axle Travel : Axle Travel When traveling through a sever dip the cylinders will contract a few inches until pressures exceed a safe level. The Maxle will then release notifying the driver that the Maxle is de-energized. When the driver is through the dip they push the down switch powering down the Maxle again.


Maxle Prerequisites: Maxle Prerequisites 1. Maxle should be supplied with a minimum of 15 GPM of flow from a solenoid operated motor spool type control valve where the A and B ports go to the tank in the center position. This can either be a stand alone valve or and additional section in a stack valve. 2. Overall relief should be set at 2500 psi minimum. 3. Hydraulic circuit should have a 10 micron absolute return line filter installed along with a 10 micron breather element on the hydraulic tank. 4. Silent Drive leaves the design of the hoist strictly up to the hoist manufacture, experience has shown that the extra weight of the Maxle-DB usually requires a double acting hoist to lower the body. 5. Customer needs to supply four 2 inch hinge pins for mounting the Maxle.
