When people say something is "built like a Mack Truck," they aren't just whistling Dixie. Mack earned its tough reputation on the battlefields of world war one, and the expression, the name and the reputation, have all stood the test of time. The latest proof that Mack is still on top of its suspension game is their new mRIDE vocational suspension.
Hi, I'm trucking journalist Jim Park, here at Mack's Customer Center in Allentown Pennsylvania. Join me as we head around back to the site of the company's now retired proving grounds and put the boots to the new mRIDE vocation suspension fitted onto this gorgeous Granite dump truck.

That's a Volvo rear suspension. Nothing beats the mighty callback

Looks damn near identical to the “tuff trac” suspension on western star and freight shakers.

Excellent camera work ! What sort of centre pivot is the spring mounted on ?

It’s rubber, there may be a bronze option but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll take a Hendrickson walking beam any day over this setup.

Have some of the potholes been asphalted to make them less drastic ? How could a mride be adapted for a tridem drive ?

+Needa Ruti ...Tridem hey ? Now you've got me thinking - it can be done and it doesn't need to be much more complicated than two suspensions working together.

Only option for tridem today is air ride, you can’t have a center pivot suspension with 3 points of contact, because your center drive axle would be directly under the pivot point. The only other option would be a slipper spring (reyco) leaf suspension with the little equalizer bars, just on 3 axles instead of 2. This would work but they’ve never made one as far as I know, likely because In a tri drive with lockers off-road traction isn’t a problem with air ride.
