Ride quality and performance are key factors when designing the internal make-up of Hendrickson air springs. A low natural frequency is achieved through proprietary piston and bump stop components. Hendrickson air springs undergo advanced design and testing processes to provide enhanced suspension ride, handling and performance.
Hendrickson air springs are designed and tuned specifically for each suspension system and application. Hendrickson air springs undergo advanced design and testing processes to provide optimum suspension ride, handling and performance
Ride quality and performance are key factors when designing the internal makeup of Hendrickson air springs. A low natural frequency is achieved through proprietary piston, flex member, and bump stop components.
Using non-genuine air springs can alter the weight rating and performance of Hendrickson suspensions. Look for the Hendrickson name and logo on the air spring to help guarantee you are getting genuine Hendrickson service parts.

The Hendrickson story began in 1913 with the founding of The Hendrickson Motor Truck Company by inventor and businessman Magnus Hendrickson. This small Chicago-based manufacturing company built trucks often equipped with cranes, which were used to haul stone and other building materials.
In 1926, Hendrickson introduced the first tandem truck suspension, which mounted the axles on each end of an equalizing beam. This unique "walking beam" design distributed the truck's load evenly between the two rear axles, which improved traction and greatly reduced the effects of bumps and potholes in the road. The walking beam soon gained widespread acceptance among the industry's new 6x4 "six wheeler" trucks, which allowed more payload.
In 1978, The Boler Company, whose holdings included manufacturers of leaf springs and metal bumpers, purchased Hendrickson. In the years that followed, Hendrickson would expand into or acquire additional businesses in related areas—trailer suspension systems, auxiliary axle systems, springs, metal bumpers, and other heavy-duty components.
Eventually Hendrickson sold the truck manufacturing operation to focus solely on suspension systems and related components.
Today, Hendrickson is comprised of state-of-the-art facilities, technical centers and manufacturing centers, in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Romania, Turkey, India, China and Australia.
