Clement's
patented three-cord drawbar
Clement's patented three-cord tubular drawbar design pivots
over bumps and holes. Wheel contact at all times is ensured
by the drawbar's "spring flex" action. With "spring flex,"
the PupStar can move over rough terrain without breaking
or bending the frame. Turnovers are virtually eliminated
and the ride is much smoother.
No
washboarding
The 1/4-inch, AR400 steel full wrap floor
is welded over 4 x 8-inch longitudinals with no cross members.
This eliminates floor washboarding and premature
floor wear. AR400 steel has nearly 3 times the strength
of the
hi-tensile steel used in other makes of trailers.
The
crowning touch
That lustrous shine on every Clement trailer is produced
using Clement’s new, advanced painting system. Dubbed "the
paint of the future," it’s a two-part urethane that’s applied
after the trailer’s had a corrosion-reducing phosphate wash
and an epoxy primer. The result is a lustrous, long lasting shine.

Put
as much strength as possible in the foundation and the structure will be strong
and it will last! That’s the Clement philosophy. Clement starts every trailer
with 25,000-pound, 102-inch wide pro-par axles with parallel spindles that provide
the proper surface for common inner and outer bearings. Bearing and axle life
are both greatly increased. Hub-piloted wheels are the final ingredient. Hub-piloted
wheels have no inner nuts and all nuts have right-hand threads, plus there are
only ten nuts instead of the usual twenty. This reduces both maintenance time
and costs. None of our competition has a stronger foundation than the one that’s
standard on every Clement trailer, and few even come close. 
PupStar's
fourth axle air-ride/air-lift suspension comes with a 13,000-pound rated axle
providing added strength and braking capacity for heavy loads. This axle is
installed to provide for maximum life when not in use and comes with in-cab
controls and an adjustable pressure setting for regulating axle load.
