Dingchi’s 4516 Brake Lining is a precision-engineered solution exclusively designed to fit YORK and FRUEHAUF heavy-duty vehicles—two leading brands in commercial transport equipment. Unlike generic brake linings that require modifications or compromise performance, the 4516 is calibrated to match the original equipment (OE) specifications of these brands, ensuring a seamless fit and optimal braking efficiency.
Key specifications reflect its brand-specific design: it uses a 419-sized drum (standard for many YORK/FRUEHAUF models), offers dual arc lengths (189.1 and 194.6) to fit multiple vehicle variants, a wide 203.2 width for enhanced contact area, and variable thickness options (18.2, 15.2-17.6, 11.1) to match different braking system needs. Like all Dingchi products, it supports GAWR of 20,000 lbs and 23,000 lbs (and more) and complies with FMVSS 121. For fleets operating YORK or FRUEHAUF trailers or trucks, the 4516 delivers consistent stopping power, reduces maintenance headaches, and ensures long-term reliability—critical for keeping transport operations on schedule.
The 4516 Brake Lining’s most notable feature is its tailored design for YORK and FRUEHAUF vehicles. Dingchi’s engineering team analyzed the braking systems of these brands to ensure the lining aligns perfectly with the drum, eliminating gaps that cause uneven wear or reduced performance. This OE-level fit means no modifications are needed during installation, saving time for maintenance teams and reducing the risk of installation errors.
With arc lengths of 189.1 and 194.6, the 4516 supports multiple YORK and FRUEHAUF models—from cargo trailers to flatbeds. Fleet managers benefit from reduced inventory complexity: instead of stocking separate linings for each vehicle variant, a single 4516 SKU covers multiple models. Both arc lengths maintain the same high braking performance, ensuring consistency across the fleet.
At 203.2 wide, the 4516 is broader than many standard heavy-duty brake linings. This increased width expands the contact area between the lining and drum, distributing braking force more evenly. The result is smoother stops, reduced brake fade (even under heavy loads), and improved vehicle stability—especially important for YORK/FRUEHAUF trailers carrying uneven cargo (e.g., construction equipment or oversized goods).
The 4516 offers three thickness options to match specific usage scenarios:
• 18.2: Ideal for vehicles with frequent heavy braking (e.g., urban delivery trailers), as it resists wear and extends service life.
• 15.2-17.6: A versatile middle ground for general-purpose transport (e.g., long-haul YORK cargo trailers).
• 11.1: Suitable for lighter-duty applications (e.g., empty FRUEHAUF flatbeds), where weight savings are a priority.
This customization ensures each vehicle gets the right balance of durability and efficiency.
The 4516 Brake Lining is purpose-built for YORK and FRUEHAUF heavy-duty vehicles, making it ideal for these use cases:
• YORK Cargo Trailers: Used in retail and logistics to transport goods across regions, these trailers need reliable braking to protect inventory. The 4516’s wide contact area ensures smooth stops, even when fully loaded.
• FRUEHAUF Flatbed Trailers: Flatbeds carry construction equipment, machinery, or oversized loads—often with uneven weight distribution. The 4516’s dual arc lengths and even force distribution prevent skidding or instability during stops.
• YORK Refrigerated Trailers (Reefers): Reefers transport perishable goods (e.g., food, pharmaceuticals) and require consistent braking to maintain temperature control. The 4516’s FMVSS 121 compliance ensures safe stops in all weather, preserving cargo integrity.
• FRUEHAUF Dump Trailers: Dump trailers used in construction or waste management face harsh conditions (heavy loads, frequent stops). The 4516’s 18.2 thickness option resists wear and thermal stress, making it reliable for daily use.
No. The 4516 is engineered to match the OE specifications of YORK and FRUEHAUF vehicles (e.g., 419 drum size, dual arc lengths). Using it on other brands may result in poor fit, reduced braking performance, or safety risks. Always confirm your vehicle’s make and model before purchase.
Dual arc lengths let the 4516 fit multiple YORK/FRUEHAUF models. For example, the 189.1 arc length works with older YORK cargo trailer variants, while 194.6 fits newer FRUEHAUF flatbeds. This simplifies inventory management for fleets with mixed-model fleets, cutting costs and storage space.
Consider your vehicle’s usage:
• Frequent heavy braking (urban delivery): Choose 18.2 for maximum durability.
• General long-haul transport: 15.2-17.6 balances durability and weight.
• Light or empty loads: 11.1 saves weight without sacrificing basic performance.
For personalized guidance, consult your vehicle’s OE manual or Dingchi’s technical team.
While the 4516 is primarily designed for North American YORK/FRUEHAUF fleets (and complies with FMVSS 121), its durable formulation meets basic safety benchmarks in most regions. For fleets operating internationally, contact us to confirm compliance with local standards (e.g., EU ECE R13).
