Hendrickson’s newest Paralift axle system shed about 90 pounds, yet retains the versatility of the older model. The Paralift PST features some changes including: enhanced driveline clearance, extended wheel cut and redesigned axle seats. The new lighter lift axle system is available for a wide variety of Class 8 truck chassis.

Hendrickson says it trimmed 90 pounds from its Paralift lift axle system with the launch of the Paralift PST. Fitting Paralift with a new axle, Hendrickson says the 20,000-pound steerable lift axle system comes with a Westport axle and D22 spindle, and is available for a wide variety of Class 8 truck chassis. To enhance driveline clearance and extend wheel cut to 25 degrees, the company says it redesigned the axle seats and moved the stabilizers inside the tie rod and connected them to the axle brackets. Hendrickson says PST also retains features of previous Paralift models, including adjustability of frame width and ride height, allowing fleets, aftermarket installers and body builders to apply one unit to meet a wide variety of truck configurations.

Paralift’s parallelogram design helps facilitate proper wheel tracking and helps keep lift plates parallel for longer air spring life, while the trailing arm beams feature a single-paddle z-beam configuration. Paralift PST delivers 12 inches of total travel with nine inches of lift in ride heights from 9½ to 13½ inches in a 28-inch package space. Zero-torsion trailing-arm bushings help eliminate bushing windup and allow for the dual lift-spring configuration.
