INTRAAX® Extends Platform Slider Class To Low Flatbed And Drop-Deck Trailers
CANTON, OHIO - With the introduction of INTRAAX® low-ride platform sliders, Hendrickson brings the benefits of an integrated suspension system to haulers running low flatbed and drop-deck sliders.
The low-ride, single-axle, AAZL 23K, and tandem, AAZL 46K, compliment the top-mount single and tandem platform sliders to provide a full selection and outstanding flexibility for haulers requiring this configuration.
The AAZ class gives operators of platform sliders outstanding weight savings and low maintenance advantages of INTRAAX that most haulers in the transportation industry have enjoyed for years.
The platform sliders draw on Hendrickson's unmatched slider box design experience enhanced with the benefits of patented INTRAAX technology to create responsive, unparalleled systems.
Offered in ride heights from 6.5 to 12 inches, the AAZL tandem and single-axis systems feature a combination of a smooth-sliding "Z" profile box and the road-proven INTRAAX integrated suspension system. The slider box fits neatly up between the trailer I-beams with lock-pins engaging through holes in the web of the beams.
The platform sliders fit I-beam centers of 37, 38, 43 and 44 inches, and the tandem can accommodate 49-, 60- and 72-inch axle spreads. A brake chamber activated by a push-pull valve powers the QUIK-DRAW® pin release mechanism that helps increase driver satisfaction and maximize productivity.
With a wide variety of available combinations of singles and tandems, the AAZ class of suspension systems provides outstanding flexibility in trailer design tailored to serve a wide range of hauling requirements.
System benefits include the first standard trailer Cam Tube System(TM) to reduce S-cam maintenance and exceptionally tight axle tolerances to help stretch fuel mileage and tire life.
To meet specific hauling needs and customer demands, fleets and owner operators customize their INTRAAX systems with a wide selection of READY-TO-ROLL® options including our automatic tire inflation system; a cost-effective long-life wheel end, HLS(TM) (Hendrickson Long-life System(TM)), and HXS® (Hendrickson Extended Service(TM)) brakes.
