WOODRIDGE, IL. (September 2024) – Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems announced today that they have partnered with International® Trucks to launch a new variant of PRIMAAX® EX - the severe-duty vocational rear air suspension system. The new options for the suspension include 12-inch ride height as well as 52,000-pound capacity with air disc brake clearance as a part of the chassis enhancements for International’s HV truck model.
This new variant of the PRIMAAX EX suspension is designed specifically for the rigorous demands of vocational and severe-service such as construction, refuse, mixer, logging, and heavy-haul applications. The new 12 in. ride height system variant contributes to better weight distribution, further improving stability and control when hauling heavy loads. PRIMAAX EX minimizes suspension induced driveline vibration and controls suspension windup and corresponding frame rise. Premium heavy-duty rubber bushings require no lubrication and are performance tested for longer service life. The taller PRIMAAX EX ride height option will assist fleets in complying with applicable Canadian regulations related to vehicle dimensions and load capacity as well as applications that require a slightly taller than standard ride height such as heavy-duty towing and recovery. The 52,000-pound air disc brake configuration allows for heavy-haul customers to specify air disc brakes on their HV trucks that require more repeatable stopping distance.
“PRIMAAX EX has grown tremendously in popularity over the years and has become widely accepted by fleets throughout the industry as their preferred 100% off-highway approved vocational air suspension for multiple severe-duty applications,” says Sean Whitfield, Director of Marketing at Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems. “We are excited to launch the new 12 in ride height as well as the 52,000-pound air disc brake compatible variants offered at International to expand the availability of PRIMAAX EX across the full breadth of their vocational model lineup to bring the tremendous advantages of PRIMAAX EX to more International customers.”
PRIMAAX EX offers a full range of suspension scalability from 23,000 lb. single axle configurations up to 78,000 lb. tridem setup configurations.
