Series 2008 Brake Beams
Miner Series 2008 Brake Beams are designed to minimize uneven brake
shoe wear, reducing brake shoe replacement by as much as 20%. The Series
2008 brake beam is now 35% stronger in its ability to resist the effects
of car and truck impacts. In addition, the Series 2008 design includes
new and improved brake heads - notched to reduce beam binding for more
consistent braking - and an innovative reversible strut allowing for
quick conversion of the hand of the beam. In addition to brake beams,
Miner offers steel side frame wear plates, and other brake beam components.
