INDIANAPOLIS. Hendrickson’s Primaax EX rear air suspension is now being offered on the Kenworth T270 and T370 front drive axle equipped medium-duty trucks.

Kenworth made the announcement during the NTEA’s Work Truck Show here.

Kenworth continues to expand its suspension offering with quality products that help meet customer requirements in demanding vocational applications,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing planning and research. “The Hendrickson Primaax EX really fits well with Kenworth’s T270 and T370 4x4 trucks introduced last summer. These dependable vehicles – with factory-installed front drive axles – can provide excellent performance and low life-cycle cost to vocational operators who prefer running medium duty trucks to get the job done.”

The suspension has a 15.5-in. ride height and is available for trucks with a single rear axle and ratings of 23,000 lbs. and 26,000 lbs.

According to Hendrickson, the axle is ideal for vocational and severe duty applications, offering durability and long component life while reducing road shock.
