Opti-Lite drums were developed on the same platform as the SteeLite X30 brake drums and the Opti-Lite offers similar weight and fuel savings, according to Meritor. The drums are offered in most common wheel-end configurations for steer, drive and trailer axle applications.
The Opti-Lite drums do not require welded on weights and offer an optimized balance spec for smoother performance on the road.
