The RT™ has been the industry standard for over 70 years. The RT provides the same unsurpassed durability, stability, and traction for all vocational applications. The extended-leaf design, RTE, offers a smoother ride when empty or lightly loaded, and excellent stability when loaded.
Hendrickson-designed springs provide a consistent spring rate for longer spring life.
RTE extended leaf design provides a softer vehicle ride—empty or lightly loaded.
Equalizing Beams distribute load equally between both axles for improved traction. Lower center of gravity increases stability.

2. SITE TRAVEL RATING—Operators using vehicles equipped with liftable tag or pusher axles must not exceed published ratings. Ratings are limited to no more than 5% of vehicle operation at speed not to exceed 5 mph. Liftable tag or pusher axles should only be raised (or unloaded) to improve vehicle maneuverability in off-road use or when vehicle is unloaded. Site travel ratings are consistent with published axle manufacturer's limitations. Axle and suspension site travel ratings cannot be exceeded.
