Severe Duty System

The Hendrickson Severe Duty System HSDS® delivers rugged dependability and outstanding ride quality and control for curtainsiders, platform trailers, tippers, tankers and container chassis.

Our patented TRI-FUNCTIONAL® Bushing in unison with a rigid beam and rigid axle connection provides the ideal combination of ride softness and roll stability. With only two long-life bushings for each suspension, HSDS provides a straight-forward, functional design with few parts to minimize maintenance.

Available with drum brakes, the HSDS supplies responsive, consistent braking power in a reliable and durable package. In addition, standard QUIK-ALIGN® provides fast, easy, accurate axle alignment using standard tools.
