HEIGHT-CONTROL VALVE
Hendrickson Trailer Suspension Systems says its new integral height control valve (HCV) and automatic dump valve help maintain load stability over the road and facilitate loading-dock activity.
Specifically designed and tested for Hendrickson air-ride suspensions, the integrated unit features a high-flow
design for rapid dump and fill times to save drivers time and effort as they load, unload, and get back on the
road. Triggered by the trailer parking brake, the valve automatically discharges with the setting of the brake and
begins air-up of springs with release of the brake.
For improved trailer maintenance, this HCV eliminates the need for an add-on dump valve, reduces plumbing, and presents fewer potential leak points, Hendrickson says.
The integrated valve comes in kits that include 3/8-in. tube fittings and bolted linkage. The new integrated unit
replaces the add-on dump valve and HCV combination.
