The Hendrickson Chassis Axle™ (HCA™) is the latest addition to our full line of industry-standard, low-maintenance axles. A superb choice for intermodal chassis applications, HCA supplies a one-piece axle bar with hot-formed spindles.

Featuring Hendrickson's patented axle filter for internal venting, HCA comes fully dressed with a standard package including brakes, five-spoke hubs and drums. With an axle capacity of 22,500 pounds, the five-inch round HCA package includes hot-formed spindles, rigid forged steel spiders and 16.5 by 7-inch brakes.

To enhance durability, we added an oil-impregnated bronze spider bushing and hardened machined cam heads, journals and splines.

Options to enhance the standard package include extended service brakes, ABS alternatives, brake adjuster and chamber choices and hub piloted wheels. An extended warranty on brake shoe corrosion protection is also available.
