Hendrickson Freebie

Hendrickson
Hendrickson has extended its offer of free bushings for truck owners and operators converting RT/RTE suspensions to air ride with the AR2 conversion kit. Fleets and owner-operators upgrading to an AR2 conversion kit have until June 30, 2005 to receive two centre-beam bushings and four end-beam bushings free-a value of up to $875. The AR2 features air springs that constantly adjust to changing road and load conditions, using dual height-control valves to maintain a constant ride height. While maneuvering off-road, its heavy-duty trailing arm/saddle assembly and walking beams work together to deliver maximum diagonal wheel articulation-up to 14 inches-for optimum traction and weight distribution. The AR2 is designed for a variety of vocational applications including dump, refuse and crane vehicles with capacity ratings of 40,000- to 46,000 pounds. The conversion kit includes two trailing arms, shock absorbers, transverse torque rods, height-control valves, air springs, and frame hangers. The existing beam assembly, cross and longitudinal torque rods remain from the RT/RTE suspension.
