Hendrickson debuts rear suspension for fire and rescue vehicles

Roadmaax 300x229Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems introduces ROADMAAX, the next generation in heavy-duty rear air suspensions, for fire and rescue vehicles in North America at FDIC in Indianapolis.

Hendrickson says ROADMAAX is designed specifically for heavy-duty fire and rescue markets with ride quality and equipment protection being its cornerstone features.

“ROADMAAX is the future of high-capacity performance suspensions for the fire protection industry. This system was designed with a low maintenance, unique suspension geometry providing maximum control, predictable handling, and premium ride quality,” says Chris Batsch, director of the Specialty Vehicle Business Unit, Hendrickson.

The ROADMAAX system has been through rigorous test and validation procedures based on real world road conditions and has received outstanding feedback on its performance and capabilities, Hendrickson says. ROADMAAX delivers enhanced handling even in challenging environments where vehicles encounter sharp turns and unexpected ground and environmental conditions. The integration of Hendrickson’s proven main support member spring technology, with its wide stance air springs, provides a balance of predictable handling and ride quality even over a variety of terrain, the company adds.

Available initially in capacities of 35,000 lb. per axle at Rosenbauer in North America, ROADMAAX is approved for fire and rescue applications.
