The D120 rigid truck is designed primarily for distribution applications. Replacing the steel suspension with HAS has not only improved ride comfort for the driver, but offers better protection for the load carried and reduces the risk of fragile packages being damaged.
Fitted with an electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) package, including a remote control, the driver is able to adjust the loading height – a major benefit during loading or unloading at docking bays or loading ramps. Furthermore, it makes the D120 suitable for demountable bodies.
Fitment to the AVIA D120 tractor also makes coupling and uncoupling to semi-trailers a quick and easy operation.
AVIA and Hendrickson have worked closely together to ensure they provide the best suspension system for this application to customers and for drivers.
Hendrickson, a member of the Boler Group, is a premier global manufacturer and supplier of truck, tractor, bus and recreational vehicle suspensions and heavy duty springs; trailer suspensions, controls and non-integrated axles; truck and trailer lift axles; and bumpers and trim components to the commercial transportation industry.
