The Hendrickson Vehicle Suspension Institute scheduled the next date of its heavy-duty suspension training program for November 18-20.
There will be two separate sessions at Eastern Main Community College in Bangor, Maine. Each session will feature classroom and hands-on training and focus on both truck and trailer suspensions. Hendrickson’s regional field service managers will be conducting the training sessions.
“HVSI has proven to be a popular and effective hands-on and classroom technical training program,” said David McCleave, marketing and aftermarket director at Hendrickson. “We want our end users, technicians and parts specialists to have a great experience learning how to maintain our Hendrickson suspension systems.”
The truck session will involve Haulmaxx, Primaax EX and front steer axles, and the trailer session will include the Vantraax, trailer axle wheel-ends and brakes, and Hendrickson’s tire inflation system, Tiremaax Pro. The program provides basic orientation and hands-on experience for the recommended installation, service, maintenance and repair procedures for all Hendrickson suspension systems.
