Hendrickson's COMFORT AIR® Smoothes Ride For Hino Medium-Duty Truck Line
WOODRIDGE, Ill. — Hendrickson officials announced that Hino selected COMFORT AIR® rear air-ride suspension on its new conventional medium-duty truck.

COMFORT AIR, single-axle suspension system, delivers outstanding cargo protection, driver and rider comfort and enhanced handling while reducing body vibration and stress.

Tailored specifically to the Hino vehicle, this suspension is ideal for straight truck applications such as: beverage, furniture, rental, tanker, emergency, recycling and sweepers.

COMFORT AIR mounting brackets for Hino match common frame hole locations with their mechanical suspension allowing relatively easy conversion to air ride.

Using advanced spring technology, COMFORT AIR’s main support member employs an elongated design for optimized roll stiffness and to shift more of the vertical load to the air springs for a softer ride.

Based on Hendrickson’s proven heavy-duty HAS™ suspension and axle connection technology, COMFORT AIR features QUIK-ALIGN® for easy, quick realignment and a rugged pivot bushing connection for maximum durability and quiet operation.

A stamped steel cross channel enhances lateral support in the suspension system while outboard mounted shock absorbers maximize stability.

Hendrickson’s technology, resulting from more than two million suspensions, provides superior cargo protection, reduces stress and vibration to the vehicle and enhances driver comfort.
