Running Gear - Tandem Axle

• H&S models 410, 412, 415, 612, 614, and 617 have L-shaped front spindles with structural bracing to withstand high stresses from shock loads.
• The H&S heavy running gears – models 415 through 622 – utilize thrust bearings to assure dependable, smooth turning and straight trailing.
• The tele-pole is made of structural tubing and the mounting plates have wide spacing between them to reduce sway and increase the strength of the pole.
• King Pin, Hitch Pin, Spindles, Tie Rod Ends and Tie Rod Steering Pivot Point are all wear protected by replaceable oil impregnated steel bushings and are greaseable as well.
• Full Contact Turn Stops distributes the pressure exerted in tight dragging turns along the bolster face – this reduces the possibility of bunk damage or collapse.
• Running gears from 12 ton on up have 4-bolt brake flanges as standard equipment so that optional hydraulic surge brakes may be installed.
• The tie rod is positioned behind the bolster on all models and is a one-piece design that reduces the number of wear point that could change the toe-in and tracking.
• The spring assist is stan­dard on all models and is adjustable from a light assist to full support.
• Front and rear stake pockets wear pockets are standard on ALL MODELS!
