Standen's Original Equipment and replacement leaf springs and suspension parts fulfill these expectations.
 

Since our inception in the 1920's, we have always looked to the future. Standen's was the first in the North American leaf spring industry to apply CAD-CAM (Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing) to the manufacturing and design process. This leading edge has never been relinquished. Keeping to the forefront of quality, technology, and efficiency is a priority.

Standen's is dedicated to excellence through quality, commitment and continuous improvement.
 
 Open to new and innovative ideas, we participate in a global technical network related to spring design and manufacture. Standen's information sources include membership in the Spring Research Institute and other associations, exchanges of technology and special agreements with other high-tech manufacturers, and on-going close communications with our customers. A proven OEM and military supplier, Standen's is committed to the International Standards Organization ISO 9001 and MIL-145208-A specifications for quality assurance.
 
 

Beginning at the design phase, we use our combination of long experience, up-to-date information, and modern computer technology to benefit our customers. We verify engineering drawings received against the end use to ensure that peak performance standards and cost efficiencies can be met. Experience has proven that effective communication between Standen's and our customers significantly aids in reducing costs, improving product performance, and increasing value to our customers.
 
 

Standen's is the largest full line leaf spring manufacturer in North America, producing springs with load capabilities from 100 kg to 30,000 kg. Such flexibility is made possible by a carefully developed manufacturing technology equal to any in the world. We continually re-invest in both people and equipment so that we can stay ahead of the needs of industry. When a new generation of leaf springs or air suspension beams is required, we're ready to produce them.
 
 

A good example is our 2-leaf, 2-stage "DUAL-RIDE" parabolic spring designed to protect modern trailers from fatigue and wear. While the lighter high tech alloys used in the bodies and frames of the new trailers allow increased payloads, they are more subject to fatigue caused by vibration. Whether the trailer is deadheading or running fully loaded, Standen's patented "DUAL-RIDE", 2-stage spring dampens this vibration and provides a smooth ride.
 
 

Other advantages follow: Less bounce means more solid contact with the highway than is possible with conventional springs, and therefore longer tire life. Driver comfort is improved and, with jarring minimized, the payload sits tight, significantly reducing cargo damage. The smoothness of the ride compares with air ride, yet the initial cost and maintenance are much lower. This means a quicker payback.
 

Whether it is a parabolic long tapered spring, an air suspension beam, a multiple leaf truck spring, or a light trailer spring, all Standen's OEM, military, and replacement products are manufactured to the same high standard. Before a production run, prototype springs and components are rigorously tested beyond the customer's specification in our extensive quality assurance labs. The large capacity of Standen's spring forming, heat treating, and stress peening facilities allows volume quality production under tight scheduling.
