Gigant principle –
Outboard brake drum.
We have made further improvements to the drum-braked axles. The result is a forward-looking
principle which reduces costs using many innovative performance features:
We have been building axles for more than 50 years. This much
experience pays off. Our tried and trusted solutions not only se-
cure our own market position, but also that of our customers.
gigant products make an impact at an international level with
innovative technology, long service life and reliability.
gigant - Trenkamp & Gehle GmbH from Dinklage in Lower Sax-
ony, between Bremen and Osnabrück, is the main headquar-
ters of the Group which was combined in GIGANT Holding AG
in 2003. Production facilities are located in Germany, France
and Great Britain. A comprehensive network of exclusive agen-
cies and service bases make GIGANT Holding AG a flexible
partner throughout Europe.
Put your faith in us. So strong, reliable and consistant that you
will require much less of it:
Less weight, lower costs, reduced time. The Euro axle.
SLAG ADJUSTERER: Automatic slag adjuster (AGS) are part of without = without slack adjuster
the delivery. Manual slack adjuster are available on request. NGS = manual slack adjuster
AGS = automatic slack adjuster
AIR CHAMBER BRACKETS (A.C.B.): Air chamber brackets are
part of delivery. without = without ABS
ABS = with ABS
SPRING TRACK: Spring track (FM min/max) are technically track (distance in mm)
allowed values. They have to be checked according to tyres,
suspension, a.c.b. bracket-center (GM) and for steering axles
also according to the steering angle. 3010 = drum brake 300 x 100
3015 = drum brake 305 x 150
3020 = drum brake 300 x 200

road light.
air suspension made by gigant.
Less in all the parts results in more in the sum: our air bellows
are real light-weights. Dispensing with the piston bottom plate
in addition to other improvements has radically reduced the
weight. The optimised suspension brackets can now operate
up to three ride heights at one time. Heights from 240 to 375
mm can be covered by one single bracket. The axle lift is a
further benefit. This can now be retrofitted without welding and
loosening the spring pivot bolts. Neither does our spring beam
70 need any more than is absolutely necessary: a spring beam
of only 70 mm width is used in the gigant axle system for 9.0
ton axle load.

Note: Brake calculation acc. EEC regulations All permissible centres of gravity height are based on:
is done by factor hr. This centre of gravity
is not the same as in a calculation for sus- • 0,4g transverse acceleration
pensions, as hr means centre of gravity of the • about 3º inclination of body not accounting the tipped limit and
complete vehicle and is lower than centre of tyre deflection
gravity height of the suspension. • about 500mm static radius of tyre for LR/NLR
• about 400mm static radius of tyre for TLR
centre of gravity height will change if tyre is altered
• uniform distributed loads
on the trailer deck for hanging loads and for tankers we
recommend a suspension with thicker springs to cater for
higher centre of gravity e.g.: calculated centre of gravity +20%
The sprung material is the total of max. axle load minus unsprung
material.
Unsprung material means axles, rims, tyres, suspension and brake
cylinders.
The percentage of unsprung material to the max. suspension
capacity is about 10%.

Example for calculation of U-bolt length „L“.
CLAMP
attachment
The clamp attachment has got all requirements of a modern and durable axle attachment.
The advantages of this attachment are that you do not have to weld anything to the axle beam (when fittetd with centre piece).
You can choose between attachments for mechanical and air suspensions (European patent). The installation is very simple
and you will have an optimal connection between axle beam and the spring.
AXLE ATTACHMENT
with U-bolts
The attachment with U-bolts (for round beam) is a proved connection between axle and suspension. This attachment is very
light because of the reduced number of parts and at the same time, the numbers of joint interfaces is also reduced. The
possibility of working loose is decreased.
