AIRTEK® represents a quantum leap in front suspension and axle technology. This product offers unmatched ride and handling performance. The same smooth, comfortable ride that cradles passengers and drivers reduces vibration-induced wear-and-tear on the chassis itself to help extend overall vehicle and component durability. AIRTEK utilizes a Hendrickson manufactured steer axle called STEERTEK. STEERTEK is also available with the SOFTEK® front mechanical system.
Capacity: Up to 14,600 lbs.
Application: Approved for bus, RV, and medium-duty applications.

The SOFTEK® system is an integrated front suspension and
robotically welded steer axle that work together to form an
integrated torsion system. This lightweight system delivers
enhanced ride, stability and handling characteristics while
reducing weight and maintenance. SOFTEK utilizes STEERTEK,
Hendrickson's fabricated, box-section front steer axle.
Capacity: Up to 14,600 lbs.
Application: Approved for bus, RV, and medium-duty applications.

Designed as the platform for OEM proprietary and next
generation front axle / suspension systems, Hendrickson's
STEERTEK axle is the first fabricated front steer axle in
the industry. Based on proprietary design and manufacturing
technology that give the system a superior strength to
weight ratio, STEERTEK serves as the durable, lightweight
alternative to antiquated I-beam axles. The patented
two-piece knuckle contributes to outstanding turning radius
and reduced maintenance.
Capacity: Up to 14,600 lbs.
Application: Approved for bus, motorhome, and medium-duty applications.

The Hendrickson IFS delivers superior ride and handling compared to standard front mechanical and air suspensions. With up to 57 degrees of wheel cut, the IFS provides exceptional maneuverability in tight spaces. The cutting-edge short / long arm design provides superior handling both on the open highway and over rough roads.
Capacity: 12,000 - 14,600 lbs.
Application: Approved for RV and Motorcoach applications.

The PARASTEER™ front suspension system is designed for both front and rear-engine school and commercial buses and motorhomes. The PARASTEER system utilizes a unique four-bar linkage design to position the air springs directly under the load, improving ride quality and chassis / body protection. Simplicity of design and heavy-duty bushings contribute to a low maintenance system.
Capacity: 12,600 - 14,600 lbs.
Application: Approved for commercial buses, school buses and RVs.
