CANTON, Ohio — Hendrickson’s prototype HNP factory-installed trailer wheel
end delivers a lightweight option ideal for flatbeds, dumps, drop decks and
other vocational trailers.
Constructed of austempered ductile iron, which matches aluminum for weight
while delivering twice the strength, HNP on Hendrickson P90 spindles
provides the ability to switch between duals and wide-based single tires.
The HNP features a unique locknut system (patent pending), and with the
parallel P90 spindle, it provides even lubrication levels and requires only
one standard bearing size. Furthermore, Hendrickson’s patented axle
ventilation system protects from contaminates to enhance wheel-end life.
Hendrickson technicians pre-assemble and seal HNP units in our factories to
provide premium wheel-end performance. With our world-class wheel-end
assembly capabilities, factory installation helps ensure proper bearing
adjustment, internal cleanliness and seal performance.
In addition, HNP helps haulers forget the maintenance hassles of trailer
wheel ends with a limited five-year warranty for on-highway applications and
gives truckers one source for parts, service and warranty from suspension
through wheel end.
This newest innovation, combining road proven suspensions with advanced
wheel end technology, provides a system that offers unparalleled flexibility
to support current and future wheel configurations. Plans call for a
production launch next year.
