CANTON, OHIO – With the introduction of INTRAAX® low-ride platform sliders,
Hendrickson brings the benefits of an integrated suspension system to haulers
running low flatbed and drop-deck sliders. The low-ride, single-axle, AAZL 23K, and tandem, AAZL 46K, complement the
top-mount single and tandem platform sliders to provide a full selection and
outstanding flexibility for haulers requiring this configuration.
The AAZ class gives operators of platform sliders outstanding weight savings
and low maintenance advantages of INTRAAX that most haulers in the
transportation industry have enjoyed for years.
The platform sliders draw on Hendrickson’s unmatched slider box design
experience enhanced with the benefits of patented INTRAAX technology to create
responsive, unparalleled systems.
Offered in ride heights from 6.5 to 12 inches, the AAZL tandem and
single-axle systems feature a combination of a smooth-sliding "Z" profile box
and the road-proven INTRAAX integrated suspension system. The slider box fits
neatly up between the trailer I-beams with lock-pins engaging through holes in
the web of the beams.
The platform sliders fit I-beam centers of 37, 38, 43 and 44 inches, and the
tandem can accommodate 49-, 60- and 72-inch axle spreads. A brake chamber
activated by a push-pull valve powers the QUIK-DRAW®
pin release mechanism that helps increase driver satisfaction and maximize
productivity.
With a wide variety of available combinations of singles and tandems, the AAZ
class of suspension systems provides outstanding flexibility in trailer design
tailored to serve a wide range of hauling requirements.
System benefits include the first standard trailer Cam Tube System™ to reduce
S-cam maintenance and exceptionally tight axle tolerance to help stretch fuel
mileage and tire life.
To meet specific hauling needs and customer demands, fleets and owner
operators customize their INTRAAX systems with a wide selection of
READY-TO-ROLL® options including our automatic tire inflation system; a
cost-effective long-life wheel end, HLS™ (Hendrickson Long-life System™), and
HXS® (Hendrickson Extended Service™) brakes.
