Hendrickson's newly launched outboard-mounted rotor option for the Maxx22T trailer air disc brake (ADB) system enhances serviceability and safety by simplifying rotor swaps-and it's currently available only for tank trailers, reports Adrey Schley, director of wheel ends and brakes for trailer commercial vehicle systems. "We are launching it exclusively within the tank market to start because you guys were the early adopters," Schley said during one of three new "Solutions Showcases" held during National Tank Truck Carriers' 2023 Tank Truck Week at the Indiana Convention Center. "You're the ones who see the value in air discs, and we have the capacity to handle the tank market now, and then we will spread it across other platforms." The new outboard-mounted rotor is a "revolutionary" option for the HXL7 wheel-end package and InTraax LDA (large-diameter axle) suspensions, Schley added, saving bulk fleets money on maintenance, and improving safety by eliminating the need for removing the wheel end to change a rotor, and the opportunity for errors in reassembly. |
