Hendrickson announces the official launch of the newest advancements in STEERTEK™ NXT steer axles on International® RH™, LT®, and MV™ series trucks and IC Bus® CE series buses, expanding the reach of Hendrickson’s next-generation axle technology to even more of the commercial vehicle market. Weight optimization was designed into every component, from axle seat and knuckle castings to axle beam refinements. Proudly fabricated and assembled in the U.S.A., this innovative axle design provides up to 25 pounds of additional weight savings compared to the previous generation, while maintaining its advantages in serviceability, dependability, and maintenance for today’s demanding fleet operations. With this launch, Hendrickson has expanded its limited warranty coverage for STEERTEK NXT axles with rated capacities of up to 14,600 pounds. The existing 10-year, 1-million-mile limited structural warranty still covers the axle and kingpin assembly, steering arm assembly, and knuckle assemblies. Now, additional warranty coverage on kingpin bushings, kingpin wear, thrust bearings, tie rods, and tie rod ends is included for 5 years or 750,000 miles. Key features and benefits include: • Proudly fabricated and assembled in the U.S.A. • Premium value steer axle at International • Weight savings for improved efficiency and payload capacity • Extended recommended service intervals to help reduce maintenance downtime • Two-piece knuckles for easier, more cost-effective service • Exceptional dependability backed by years of performance in commercial vehicle applications • Superior warranty coverage For more information, visit www.hendrickson-intl.com
