Kenworth has added the Neway ADZ rear air suspension from SAF-Holland for heavy-duty and severe-duty applications.

The ADZ suspension is for heavy-duty applications such as construction trucks, loggers, and fire apparatus and emergency vehicles. The suspension also is for severe-duty applications where heavy vertical loads, high gross combination weights, high torque drive trains, high center of gravity loads, and significant off-road travel are expected.

Available in 23,000- and 26,000-pound capacities per axle, the Neway ADZ is engineered for independent single suspension mounting that allows for single-, tandem- or tridem-axle truck or tractor applications.

The ADZ series, which replaces the AD series suspension for over-the-road applications, incorporates a simplified lightweight V-rod construction that replaces the traditional track and torque rods. A new integral lower control arm module provides improved roll stability for high center of gravity load vehicles. The ADZ series also offers a weight savings in a typical installation of approximately 250 pounds per axle compared to the Neway AD.

Kenworth is offering the Neway ADZ series suspension in both 23K and 26K per axle versions for the Kenworth C500, T440, T470, T800 and W900.
