Short Summary
HN® 402 provides reduced weight and improved ride quality for heavy-duty, weight sensitive applications without sacrificing durability and stability.

The rubber VariRate® spring system provides the key to outstanding performance. In the empty or lightly loaded condition, the unique diagonally mounted rubber bolster springs deliver superior ride quality. Extra wide spring centres and the auxiliary springs provide outstanding stability under challenging conditions, especially when dumping or manoeuvering while loaded. This innovative spring system allows the equalising beam to pivot without lubrication or rubber bushings, which reduces scheduled maintenance and helps lower operating costs.
