SUSPENSION SYSTEMS DEFENSE
For over a century, Hendrickson’s products have carried countless loads of freight and raw materials both on- and off-highway. Our expertise as a global manufacturer and supplier of heavy-duty suspensions doesn’t stop there – based on our commercial vehicle suspension technology we also supply products for robust defense vehicles that support and protect armed forces around the world. Hendrickson has supported defense applications for over 85 years through various programs including, the M915 and M916 tractors and the HEMTT, HET, PLS, MVT, MTVR, LVSR, MRAP, HMMWV, Army Heavy Dump Truck and various trailers. Through our experience and strengths in design and development, we understand that each defense application is demanding, and thus, requires proven technology. Our involvement early in the process enables Hendrickson to deliver reliable, durable and innovative suspension systems to help support and protect those who protect us.
