Cost Reduction Goal?And you own converter dollies for your double and triple trailer combinations? Costs can be sneaky, and show up in subtle ways. Lower your total owning and maintenance costs by running dollies that are designed to cost less over the life of the equipment. Here are some cost reduction concepts you may have missed…until now… Opportunities
Solutions“We have seen improvement in tire wear with the Silver Eagle dolly versus conventional dollies.” -Larry Schultz 
No slack suspension, aligned axle. Independent tire research conducted over four years concluded that the Silver Eagle VA dolly provides significantly longer tire life than conventional dollies – up to 20%. Our VA dolly looks different, because it is – that’s what makes it better, and it works. The principle cause of side to side tire wear is the “directional torque” of the vehicle, which is constantly pulling toward the crown on sloped pavements. With other conventional longitudinal spring suspensions, this action provides less weight on roadside tires and greater weight on the curbside. Silver Eagle’s transverse spring design balances the load, and also makes it possible to laser-align and “fix” the axle for significantly better tracking -- just two of the reasons for longer tire life. If you’re like most fleets, you can expect to save $120 per year per dolly in this area alone. 
Shock Mounted Eye. Rubber or polyurethane shock-mounted eye and shank absorbs shock in starting and stopping, transferring less force to equipment and cargo. It’s also serviceable without a welder. “The replaceable drawbar and shock housing eye are valuable features.” -Silver Eagle 
Huck-bolted frame components. - No matter how accomplished the driver, damage happens. Replace drawbars quickly and easily using grade eight fasteners, and only replace the side that’s damaged. Our patented design and use of high strength steel provides a worry-free frame – so once again, send your welders off on other jobs. 
E-coat Primed or Galvanized Finishes. Have you considered what your operation spends on chasing rust, sanding and repainting in your dolly fleet? Cut down or eliminate this activity (and downtime and cost!) by using e-coated primer or a galvanized finish in your spec. Only available at Silver Eagle, and at a surprising low cost.
