Hendrickson Trailer Commercial Vehicle Systems has added more air disc brake maintenance training videos to its online training portal, Hendrickson-Academy.com.
The online resource is free and features training videos for a variety of truck and trailer products, including Hendrickson’s Maxx22T trailer air disc brake system.
“While the perception may be that air disc brakes are maintenance-free, the reality is that, like any other braking system, a regularly planned maintenance schedule is integral to maximizing performance and achieving optimal life,” said Greg Dvorchak, applications engineer for Hendrickson’s wheel-end and braking systems business unit. “Hendrickson’s free online training academy is a great tool for educating technicians on Hendrickson’s recommended maintenance practices for a variety of products, including Maxx22T air disc brakes.”
Hendrickson announced the latest training videos prior to the Mid-America Trucking Show and will host several informational sessions during the show to educate attendees on key tips for maintaining trailer air disc brake systems.
Air disc brake maintenance training is available through Hendrickson’s online education portal at www.Hendrickson-Academy.com.
