HEBRON, Ohio -- Hendrickson recently expanded the COMPOSILITE family with
the emergence of COMPOSILITE FBC, a self-steering auxiliary lift axle in
capacities up to 10,000 pounds.
Delivering the advantages haulers value in the COMPOSILITE family from
helping to stretch their vehicles’ life span to reducing maintenance, the
FBC proves a superior choice for fleets and owner operators who do not need
a full 13,500-pound capacity lift axle for their federal bridge compliance
efforts.
Weighing only 689 pounds, COMPOSILITE FBC maintains the durability and
features of the COMPOSILITE ST by delivering outstanding maneuverability
with an industry-leading 28-degree wheel cut.
A unique in-line air spring design provides maximized packaging space. All
COMPOSILITE lift axles mount in a 23.5-inch packaging space allowing easier
multi-axle configurations.
COMPOSILITE FBC accommodates six-hole or eight-hole hubs for use with
17.5-inch or 19.5-inch tires. The lightest configuration uses six-hole hubs,
rims and 17.5-inch tires with the FBC weighing in at only 873 pounds.
COMPOSILITE FBC can be ordered with an integrated air system that reduces
installation time through a pre-located air tank, hoses and valves.
COMPOSILITE FBC assists fleets and operators by helping to lower life cycle
costs. The beams remain parallel to ensure proper wheel tracking and help
enhance tire life, while lift plates remain parallel for longer air spring
life. The stabilizer features a cover to protect the stabilizing rod from
dirt and debris throughout travel.
