Hendrickson Truck Parts

Hendrickson’s beginnings go all the way back to 1913 with the founding of The Hendrickson Motor Truck Company. Then, the small Chicago-based manufacturing company built trucks that were often equipped with cranes. These cranes were used to haul stone and other building materials.

This led to the development of the first tandem truck suspension in 1926, which mounted the axles on each end of an equalizing beam. This unique “walking beam” design distributed the truck’s load evenly between the two rear axles, which improved traction and safety. This walking beam allowed for more payload and soon became the industry standard among six-wheeler trucks.

Hendrickson is committed to serving the transportation industry with innovative products that help improve productivity and profitability. Hendrick’s dedicated employees across the globe champion the proud Hendrickson name through creativity, integrity and superior service. Hendrickson continues to be a leading innovator and manufacturer of suspension systems and components for the global heavy-duty vehicle industry.
