Global Ride Solutions Brochure Celebrates Hendrickson's Comprehensive Product Lines
ITASCA, Ill. — Global Ride Solutions brochure highlights Hendrickson’s full range of products for the commercial transportation industry around the world.

Hendrickson stands as a manufacturing leader and one of the largest global suppliers of truck, tractor and trailer suspension systems; lift and steer axles; springs, and bumpers to the transportation industry.

The 20-page brochure provides an overview of products that support every major North American heavy-duty truck and trailer manufacturer, as well as many in Europe, Australia, Japan, Latin America and Africa. More than 75 percent of heavy-duty trucks and trailers roll off assembly lines in the United States with Hendrickson suspension systems, springs or bumpers.

The brochure separates the Hendrickson Global product line into convenient sections of “On Highway — Truck,” “On Highway — Trailer,” “Vocational and Heavy-haul — Truck,” “Vocational and Heavy-haul — Trailer,” “Lift Axle Systems,” “Medium-duty, Bus RV / Motor Home,” “Bumper and Trim,” “Truck and Trailer (Features and Options)” and “Aftermarket.”

The “On Highway” section for trucks features HTB, the lightest-in-class, non-torque reactive rear air suspension, and AIRTEK®, the industry’s first successful front air suspension and steer axle.

The VANTRAAX family of lightweight, low-maintenance slider systems for dry freight, refrigerated and specialty vans highlights the “On Highway — Trailer” section. Many sport Advanced Axle / Beam Technology (AXT) that teams tapered-beam and large diameter technologies for increased stiffness and reduced weight.

The “Vocational and Heavy-haul — Truck” section features PRIMAAX air-ride system for heavy-haul, construction, emergency / rescue, refuse and mixer trucks and HAULMAAX heavy-duty rubber suspension for construction, logging, refuse and mixer applications.

The INTRAAX family of top-mount and low-ride liftable primary trailer systems spotlighted in the “Trailer Vocational and Heavy-haul” section covers a wide breadth of variations from AANT 23,000-pound capacity featuring AXT to full 30,000-pound capacity “extreme-duty” systems.

“Lift Axle Systems – Truck / Trailer” highlights the COMPOSILITE family of fixed and steerable lift axle systems along with Hendrickson’s full line of auxiliary axle systems.

The brochure also includes sections covering medium-duty, bus, recreational vehicle and motor home suspensions. A “Bumper and Trim” section features the Hendrickson AERO BRIGHT bumper, a new chrome-like, non-metal product, as well as aluminum, stainless steel and other non-metal offerings.

Other items touch on the wide variety of standard features and cost-effective options for Hendrickson truck, tractor and trailer suspension systems.
