New Expanded Hendrickson Exhibition Highlights Mid-America Trucking Show
ITASCA, Ill. — Hendrickson unveils an expanded visitor-friendly display booth in a new location (booth #5275) for the 35th Mid-America Trucking Show.

Under a commanding hanging sign, the booth displays Hendrickson’s suspension systems and components in three zones reflecting industry themes: vocational, over-the-road and aftermarket.

A double-deck structure anchors the booth offering two conference rooms, each accommodating up to 10 people, and giving Hendrickson representatives greater opportunity to interface with visitors.

The conference room structure also provides an alcove ideal for the designated aftermarket zone -- new for the 2006 show. The aftermarket zone also features the AR2 air-ride retrofit truck walking-beam suspension.

Spanning a larger 60-by-60-foot booth, the Hendrickson exhibit replicates an off-road job site in one zone to display models of the INTRAAX EDT extreme-duty integrated air-ride trailer suspension system, PRIMAAX heavy-duty air-ride truck suspension system, HAULMAAX heavy-duty rubber truck suspension and COMPOSILITE truck and trailer lift axle systems.

Set off by an over-the-road theme, another zone displays AIRTEK integrated front air-ride suspension and steer axle, VANTRAAX trailer air-ride sliding suspension system, HTB non-torque reactive truck drive-axle air suspension and INTRAAX AANT trailer suspension system with air disc brakes.

Other exhibits include a bumper and trim showcase featuring HENDRICKSON AERO BRIGHT (HAB) and AERO CLAD bumpers and an HAB sunvisor, a trailer READY-TO-ROLL kiosk debuting the HNPS trailer wheel end and a leaf-spring display.
