Composite advantages are simple – less weight, increased durability, improved ride and enhanced performance. It’s a clear choice!
LITEFLEX ® Automotive Springs
Hendrickson composite springs for the passenger and light truck segments enjoy many unique benefits over steel suspension systems. Among them is weight reduction for improved range, ride and comfort versus steel springs and corrosion and sag resistance. Our springs offer manufacturers better packaging with systems that require less space. This allows for lower hood lines, elimination of coil towers and oftentimes lower drag coefficients. It can also provide for larger interior space and / or the addition of more passenger amenities without adding to the overall vehicle weight.
LITEFLEX ® Medium-Duty Springs
Hendrickson composite transverse springs create space by reducing traditional suspension towers, reduce weight with composite materials requiring smaller / lighter support structures, like stabiliser bars. The result is less weight and increased hauling ability. OEMs enjoy composite springs that are up to 70 percent lighter than their steel equivalents. This weight savings helps OEMs improve efficiency while increasing capacity limits.
