PORTAL-TEK AXLES ANNOUNCES THE UNVEILING OF THE ALL NEW SUPER-14™ AXLE AT EASTER JEEP SAFARI 2009



Portal-Tek Axles is proud to announce the unveiling of a revolutionary new axle solution at Easter Jeep Safari 2009. The Super-14™ will be on display at the Spanish Trails Arena April 9, 2009. The Super-14™ is a fresh take on the infamous Corporate 14-bolt rear end. The Super-14™ incorporates a new drop-out style differential gear case. This all-aluminum third member case utilizes off the shelf Corporate 14-bolt gear sets and lockers. Imagine a 10.5 inch ring gear, hypoid pinion gear with 3 HUGE bearings, and the ability to house it all in an aluminum drop out style case. The architecture of the Super-14™ is significantly more compact than a conventional Corporate 14-Bolt axle. The symmetrical bolt pattern surrounding the third member, will allow Super-14™ to operate in high or low pinion applications. The case size of the Super-14™ is roughly 1” larger in height and width than a standard Ford 9” case. Super-14™ will be available in front and rear axle application. Fabricated axle housings will be available in mild steel or Chro-Moly. Magnesium third member case construction will be available for desert race applications. The Super-14™ is lightweight, wickedly strong and convenient! Super-14™ will set the new standard in axles regardless of how tight your budget is.
