Transmission protectant
Penray has added Transmission MVP (Multi Vehicle Protectant) to its Performance Products professional automotive product line.

Hendrickson Trailer Suspension Systems’ lighter-weight Intraax AAT integrated trailer suspension system now features the company’s Large Diameter Axle (LDA). The switch to LDA increases the outer diameter from 5 inches to 5¾ inches while slightly reducing the axle wall thickness. This reduction, combined with the increased diameter, creates a more efficient use of material, increasing axle strength while reducing weight and increasing bending and torsional stiffness. The integration of LDA on AAT 23K models also allows customers to continue using a wide bushing pivot connection while enjoying a 19-pound weight savings over current 5-inch AAT 23K axle models. To accommodate more robust applications, AAT 25K and 30K models will combine the LDA technology with a thicker axle wall for applications that require the higher 25,000-pound axle rating; this thicker axle wall, combined with the company’s axle-beam connection, weighs 30 pounds less than current Intraax AAT 25K/30K models.
