Updated Lift Axles Offer Advantages TRACTORS Miscellaneous Hendrickson has designed and manufactured an updated ComposiLite SC steerable lift axle for truckers demanding more flexibility in their driving needs The redefined lift axles with suspension feature reduced weight and a damage-resistant flexible tie rod These updated versions still highlight tried and true steel and aluminum parts alongside their earlier weight-saving fabricated components “The ComposiLite SCs take up a smaller area in size fitting in narrower spots so you shouldn’t have to ever move fuel tanks ” says Brian Farmer General Manager for Lund Truck Parts of Sioux Falls S D “They’re frame height adjustable too Instead of having to order ones that are pre-made to your frame height these come with a kit so you can adjust the ride height as needed ” Improved features include shorter aluminum beams to reduce packing space a compliant tie rod to resist permanent deformation and enhance adjustability along with an optimized package design with shorter trailing arms and side rails Farmer says they’re a top-selling unit primarily due to their adjustable frame height ride and ease of transfer from truck to truck The ComposiLite SC steerable lift axles are manufactured in the U S at the Hendrickson factory and are available throughout North America Farmer estimates the cost of an installed single axle set with controls at approximately $9 000 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Brian Farmer Lund Truck Parts Inc 1426 E 54th St N Sioux Falls S D 57104 ph 605-575-2140; www northamericantrucktrailer com
