Meritor® Debuts P600 Series Tridem Heavy-Haul Planetary Axle for Severe-Duty Applications

Meritor (NYSE:MTOR) has announced the introduction of its new P600 Series Tridem Heavy-Haul Planetary Axle for heavy-duty, long-haul, oil field, mining and logging applications. Full production begins in June.

“The new tridem is the next-generation axle from our award-winning P600 series and one of many new products Meritor will bring to market during the next three years as part of the company’s M2019 growth initiative,” said Steve Luepke, director, Off-Highway, for Meritor.

Full production of the P600 tridem begins this summer at the company’s Laurinburg, North Carolina plant.

Built to operate in extreme conditions, the P600 Tridem is compatible with industry-leading suspension options and offers a best-in-class gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of 126,000 pounds and gross combination weight of 560,000 pounds. Meritor’s new proportioning inter-axle differential delivers even torque split between the three axles for improved traction, maximum load capacity and increased longevity of the drivetrain.

The P600 Tridem’s wide ratio coverage and standard anti-lock brakes deliver optimum safety and performance in the most extreme conditions. When equipped with the optional driver-controlled differential lock and hardware for central tire inflation systems (CTIS), the P600 has the premium features required for the most demanding applications. All P600 axles are designed for durability and supported by Meritor’s DriveForce service and support team.
