ACOFAS to hold technician suspension training at Hendrickson International facility

Sept. 30, 2013
Occasion will help mark Hendrickson's 100th anniversary.

The American Council of Frame and Alignment Specialists (ACOFAS) http://www.acofas.com is holding a technician training clinic on Hendrickson truck suspensions at Hendrickson-International’s Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems facility in Woodridge, Ill.

Hendrickson (www.hendrickson-intl.com) designs and manufactures suspension systems and components for heavy duty trucks and trailers.

Not only is this a learning opportunity, say ACOFAS officials, it will help celebrate Hendrickson's 100th Anniversary.

Hendrickson has made many changes to its Airtek, Softek, Steertek, Haulmaax, Ultimaax and  Primaax suspensions, they note. Many of these enhancements will be covered in the training.

The Woodridge facility is where much of the research, development and testing of Hendrickson Truck related suspension products are performed. Those who attend the training session will get a behind the scenes look at Hendrickson and the facility.

The training clinic is set for this Oct 22 and 23.

For additional details and to register, contact Gordon Botts at 815-482-4255 or [email protected]

The host hotel for the training session is ALOFT in nearby Bolingbrook, Ill. Reservations may be made by calling the hotel directly at 630-410-6367 and asking for the Hendrickson Group rate - $109/night, plus taxes.
