Hendrickson upgrades Steertek NXT axles on International trucks
Hendrickson has announced its launch of new Steertek NXT steer axles on the International RH, LT and MV seies trucks.
The company says every component has been weight optimized, from axle seat and knuckle castings to axle beams. The axle delivers up to 25 lb. of additional weight savings compared to the previous version.
Hendrickson also expanded its warranty coverage for Steertek NXT axles with rated capacities of up to 14,600 lb., with coverage on the kingpin bushings, kingpin wear, thrust bearings, tie rods and tie rod ends now extending to five years or 750,000 miles (1.2 million km).
A 10-year, 1 million mile (1.6 million km) warranty remains on the structure.
“The expansion of our Steertek NXT advancements to International reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that provide value to fleets,” said Sean Whitfield, director of marketing at Hendrickson. “This axle is built to go the distance while making service easier and less frequent, which is a win for both fleets and technicians.”
