Brandt Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 What is the difference when an axle is called a "pusher" or a "tag". I'm wanting to put one in FRONT of my drive axles. I need steerable and a drop axle to clear the drive shaft. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45041-tag-or-pusher-axle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I call that a pusher axle. Tag is after the rear suspension. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

blackdog2 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Pusher Usually it has a dip in the axle for drive shaft clearance tag is tagging along like back in the day 50's 60' but pushers go both way's.

tjc transport Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 it really depends on the area of the country you are in as to what the axle between the drives and cab is called. but technically it is a pusher, and when behind the drives it is called a tag. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

m16ty Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 We call them both tags around here. About the only time I hear pusher is on forums like this. It does make sense that a tag axle would tag along behind but if you say pusher around here people will just look at you funny.

Outbehindthebarn Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I think the term 'pusher' is more of a "Left-Coast" thing.... West of the Mississippi at least... 'round here we call them "Lift axles".... or a "tag" if it don't "lift". Quote Fun is what they fine you for!My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers.
