About Hendrickson

Magnus Hendrickson started manufacturing commercial trucks in 1913 to meet the demand for robust, durable vehicles. The company introduced the first tandem suspension in 1926.

From the beginning, Hendrickson's only business has been to serve the needs of the commercial vehicle industry. This focus, bolstered by an unrelenting pursuit of technological leadership, is the key to our status as the world leader in the design and manufacture of high quality truck, tractor, and trailer suspensions, liftable suspensions, steel leaf springs, bumpers, and stamped components for the heavy-duty transportation market.

Since its acquisition by The Boler Company in 1978, Hendrickson has grown and expanded to become a major supplier to North American, European, Asian and Australian heavy-duty truck and trailer OEMs, as well as many manufacturers in South America and Africa. Our products are helping these partners increase durability, lower operating costs, enhance driver comfort, and reduce weight. And after producing millions of walking beam truck suspensions and air-ride trailer suspensions, our goal continues to be providing the most technologically advanced and differentiated products available—today and into the future.



The core capabilities of Hendrickson's operating divisions range from computer-aided engineering and prototype testing to CNC machining and synchronous flow manufacturing. The sharing of these and other capabilities between divisions results in superior products delivered by an efficient, cost-conscious organization.
