Original Press Release:
High-Lifting, Light-Duty Non-Steer Axle Series Added to Hendrickson Line
HEBRON, OH- Hendrickson announces the availability of a HLR-2 Series, a light capacity, high-lifting non-steer suspension for both the pusher and tag position.
Short, medium and long beam versions of the HLR-2 Series create versatility to fit the space requirements of varying dimensions of truck applications and configurations.
HLR-2, ideal for tag positions, provides high-lifting capabilities, accommodates various ride heights and facilitates easier installation. The suspension provides 3.5 inches greater travel than the HLM-2, a 20,000-pound non-steer suspension, for a total travel of 13 inches.
HLR-2 accommodates ride heights of eight to 14.5 inches. The axle is positioned at the rear of the suspension, allowing greater clearance of vehicle undercarriage obstructions.
HLR-2 is available in various versions to meet each customer's specific requirements. The short-beam packaging space, front edge of hanger to centerline of axle measurement, measures 29.5 inches and provides seven inches of lift. The short beam version is rated at 13,000-pounds capacity.
The mid-beam version, also rated at 13,000 pounds capacity, provides up to 10 inches of lift and measures 33.25 inches.
The long-beam, rneasuring 37 inches, is rated at 10,000-pound capacity and provides 11 inches of lift.
The launch of HLR-2 extends the leading non-steer suspension line. "The industry has been asking for a better, high lifting, lighter duty non-steer lift axle. A 20,000 pounds capacity is not always necessary," reports Paul Brown, marketing manager. "This new product not only fulfills this need, it also provides variable packaging sizes and works nicely on the crane or block truck industry vehicle, especially in the tag position where the customer does not want the ride bags exposed at the rear of the vehicle."
Hendrickson offers a variety of compact, modular air kits to accompany the lift axle suspension product line. Both an inside-mount and outside-mount versions are available for the HLR-2.
