Hendrickson launches Composilite Steerable Compliant SC lift axle series

Hendrickson’s Composilite Steerable Compliant SC series of lift axles reduce system weight, minimize package space and feature a flexible tie-rod, further improving product performance and durability while offering increased payload and reduced maintenance.

The Composilite SC offers a range of capacities – including 10,000, 13,500 and 20,000 pounds – and introduces the company’s proprietary Compliant Tie Rod (CTR) with PerfecTrak Technology, a flexible tie-rod assembly and dampening system designed to lower maintenance costs and increase uptime by providing a resilient impact-resistant tie-rod assembly. The CTR system also provides a self-centering mechanism and improved “driver feel” through a passive-steer Ackerman.
