New INTRAAX® and VANTRAAX® Brochures Tout Air-ride Advantages
CANTON, OHIO – Hendrickson recently released updated INTRAAX® and VANTRAAX® brochures describing their respective families of integrated primary and slider air-ride trailer suspension systems.

The INTRAAX brochure (L614 rev D) outlines the evolution of the patented suspension-axle-brake system into a family of low maintenance, lightweight configurations for essentially any vocational or over-the-road application.

The brochure highlights recent additions to the INTRAAX family including a series of versatile platform sliders and a lightweight, compact low-ride system ideal for autohaulers, moving vans and drop-frame trailers.

VANTRAAX (L585 rev C) for vans and reefers marries our superior K-2® slider box technology with the patented INTRAAX for a road-proven family of slider systems that address critical needs for lighter, more durable running gear.

The brochure highlights additions to the slider family including a low-ride height tandem ideal for drop-frame van applications and a tridem slider that gives operators flexibility to haul across international, provincial and state borders while remaining in compliance with varying regulations.

Both brochures detail the wide array of unmatched standard features starting with road-proven TRI-FUNCTIONAL® bushings for rugged reliability; straighter, neutral-toe axles to help improve tire life and mileage; short S-cams for responsive, consistent braking, and the trailer industry’s first standard Cam Tube Systems.

Hendrickson’s new TIREMAAX™, automatic tire inflation system, caps a list of value-enhancing options for both INTRAAX and VANTRAAX including extensive choices for long-life wheel ends and extended-service brakes.

Additional options for INTRAAX systems include the Hendrickson UNDER BEAM LIFT™, chain down-stops and rear-oriented shocks for severe-duty applications and a Raised-center Axle

QUIK-DRAW® driver-friendly, finger-tip operated pin pull mechanism highlights VANTRAAX system options in addition to SURELOK® and DOCK STABILIZING TECHNOLOGY™ (DST™) to minimize loading dock concerns.
