INTERMAAX®

6 x 2 liftable forward tandem axle and rear suspension system

INTERMAAX

Hendrickson’s INTERMAAX system is a 6×2 solution to help reduce costs for fleets by saving fuel, reducing tire wear, reducing weight and potentially reducing toll costs with comparable handling to 6×4 tandem axle configurations. Operating as a liftable axle in the forward tandem position, this system provides versatility for fleets with variable loads or those with dead head loads. The INTERMAAX system is ideal for fleets in need of additional flexibility for on-highway tractor applications.
