For nearly a century, Hendrickson has developed into a world-leading supplier of commercial vehicles in the field of commercial vehicles with its innovative technology and high-quality products, and has written a century-old story.
In 1913, inventor and businessman Magnus Hendrickson established Hendrickson Truck Manufacturing Company in Chicago, which mainly produces trucks equipped with cranes or dump bodies. Hendrickson was born.
In the course of a century, Hendrickson has been committed to serving the world of commercial vehicle development. In 1926, Hendrickson's first balanced beam suspension was introduced; in 1969, the company entered the leaf spring industry, consolidating its position in the field of heavy suspension; in 1978, Hendrickson was acquired by Boler Corporation, and subsequently entered the trailer suspension.

According to the mileage of 300km per day and the full load rate of 85%, the car equipped with Hendrickson Rubber Suspension can transport more than 110 tons of cargo per day, according to 300 days of operation and freight (market price) of 0.8 yuan/ton km, then each year Each vehicle equipped with a Hendrickson suspension can increase revenue by 26,400 yuan. This does not include the increase in fuel efficiency due to weight reduction, plus the cost savings from suspension-free maintenance.
