Running Gear - Single Axle

• H&S models 406, 408, 410, 412, and 415 have L-shaped front spindles with structural bracing to withstand high stresses from shock loads.
• Models 416, 417, and 420 utilize a T style spindle assembly, and use truck type steering because of increased torque loads that result from the use of wide flotation or truck tires.
• Models 415 through 420 – utilize thrust bearings to assure dependable, smooth turning and straight trailing.
• The tele-pole is made of structural tubing and the mounting plates have wide spacing between them to reduce sway and increase the strength of the pole.
• King Pin, Hitch Pin, Spindles, Tie Rod Ends and Tie Rod Steering Pivot Point are all wear protected by replaceable oil impregnated steel bushings and are greaseable as well.
• Full contact Turn stops distributes the pressure exerted in tight dragging turns along the bolster face – this reduces the possibility of bunk damage or collapse.
• All H&S 4 wheel models (except the 406) have a rear hitch.
• Running gears from 12 ton on up have 4-bolt brake flanges as standard equipment so that optional hydraulic surge brakes may be installed.
• The tie rod is positioned behind the bolster on all models and is a one-piece design that reduces the number of wear point that could change the toe-in and tracking.
• A rocking bolster is standard on the 416 running gear.
• A spring assist tongue is standard on all models (except the 406, where it is optional) and it is adjustable from a light assist to full support.
• Stake pocket wear plates are standard on ALL MODELS!
