Tele Pole
 

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.

Front Spindle
 

H&S models 406, 408, 410, 412, 415 have L-shaped front spindles with structural bracing to withstand high stresses from shock loads.

Thrust Bearings
 

The H&S heavy running gears models 415 through 420 utilize thrust bearings to assure dependable, smooth turning and straight trailing.

spring_assist
 

The spring assist is standard on all models (except the 406, where it is optional) and it is adjustable from a light assist to full support.

Turn Stops
 

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.

Tie Rod
 

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.

Brake Flanges
 

Running gears from 12 ton on up have 4-bolt brake flanges as standard equipment so that optional hydraulic surge brakes may be installed.

Wishbone Tandem Axle
 

H&S models 612 and 614 have a wishbone design tandem axle to reduce mud build-up and clogging.
