Hendrickson Adds a Severe-Duty Model to the Composiliteâ„¢ Family

HEBRON, Ohio â€” Hendrickson introduces COMPOSILITEâ„¢ STS, a new 13,500-pound capacity, severe-duty model, to complement the proven COMPOSILITE ST family of lift axle systems.

COMPOSILITE, the low maintenance and compact family of suspensions, proves its versatility once again. While the COMPOSILITE ST, FBC and FX continue to be industry leaders, the new severe-duty truck suspension is not far behind.

The COMPOSILITE STS stands out from the rest of the COMPOSILITE family by its severe duty application range. Utilizing nodular iron trailing arms, the STS is recommended for refuse, logging and other predominately off-road applications.

Adding only 40 pounds to the COMPOSILITE ST suspension, STS weighs in at only 867 pounds. Continuing with a tradition of versatility, the new STS is available in ride heights ranging from 8.5 to 18.5 inches.

Like the rest of the COMPOSILITE family, the STS is equipped with in-line air springs for added protection and a compact design. Zero-torsion bushings help eliminate bushing windup, and the two-piece knuckle design provides extended king pin performance.

Hendrickson, a Boler company, is one of the largest global suppliers of truck and tractor suspensions, trailer suspensions, truck and trailer lift axles, bumpers and trim components and springs to the commercial transportation industry. Headquartered in Itasca, Ill., Hendrickson has been meeting the needs of the transportation industry for more than 90 years. Visit the Hendrickson Web site at www.hendrickson-intl.com.
