james j neiweem Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hendrickson made numerous models. I guess they must have had some good designs as they were used by most of the other truck manufacturers including Mack.

rsb502 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have to say Mack Camelback is #1 it hasn't let me down yet, after that probably Hendrickson Haulmaxx its a very smooth riding rubber block walking beam , I hate to say it but I have heard good things from others about the t ride also but I've never tried it.

j_martell Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have to say Mack Camelback is #1 it hasn't let me down yet, after that probably Hendrickson Haulmaxx its a very smooth riding rubber block walking beam , I hate to say it but I have heard good things from others about the t ride also but I've never tried it.im currently running hendrickson haulmaxx on my roll off. rides a bit rough bare rail, but loaded, its great. excelent stability off road, keeps all the drives on the ground. one thing i will say; with the walking beams under the axle,.you loose a bit of ground clearance, which led to the one and only time i got stuck. not much lower than the center section of the axle housing, but low enough they hit the ground and lifted the wheels.
