Hendrickson Adds a Severe-Duty Model to the Composilite(TM) Family
HEBRON, Ohio - Hendrickson introduces COMPOSILITE(TM) 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.
