General WCC Product Information
WCC uses the latest developments in engineering and
technology to produce outstanding driving vehicles for the most
discriminating driver vehicles for all aspects of driving and
for all occasions.
WCC combines innovative design solutions with an exceptional custom
construction to produce carriages that can only be truly appreciated
when driven. Among the advances, WCC pioneered setting the wheels at
a negative angle to produce unsurpassed stability, safe driving
through corners and across hills and practically eliminating swaying
off the track.
Brakes: On most all WCC we carriages use
the world famous Brembo brakes. On the heavier carriages we use
Bosch brakes.

Bumpers: Side and front bumpers have
been designed to withstand and facilitate a very fast drive through
hazards. The carriage bounces off of hazards with ease and stays in
its track.
Fifth wheel: Equipped with a brake and a
turn delay steering .
Pole: With adjustable length, pole cover
and shock absorber located inside the pole head.
Seats: Both seats are fully adjustable, moving back and forth
(similarly to in a car); in addition, the referee's seat can be
easily removed and the whip's seat moved to the middle.
Springs: Every spring is hand hammered
(instead of being rolled); thus providing a superior spring that is
longer lasting, resists damage and provides a better and smoother
ride.
In WCC's marathons springs are tilted inward towards
the axle. This design allows to preserve the optimum length of the
springs to maximize their shock absorption properties (the longer
the spring the better the shock absorption), at the same time
reducing the distance between the axles, for maximum compactness of
the carriage.
Swingle tree: Located deep under the
front bumper and very high. As a result, horses can be hooked up
very close to the carriage producing a very compact configuration.
The swingle tree can be removed and each tree hooked up to a special
pendulum connected by a chain to the front axle. This feature is
used when driving on difficult terrain (muddy or sandy) horses
pull the carriage up, producing an easier forward drive.
Wheels: Are set at the negative angle
(i.e. the top end of the wheels is tilted towards the carriage),
producing
• improved stability of the carriage
• safe driving through comers at higher speeds;
• Safe and stable driving across hills;
• practically eliminated swaying off the track.

The World Carriage Company pioneered the unique positioning of
wheels which has proven so superior that other European carriage
companies began copying WCC's design and incorporating it into their
own carriages.
