ABOUT

The 9700 Series can be assembled in single, tandem, or multi-axle configurations with weight capacities from 12,000 to 25,000 lbs/axle. The 9700’s numerous axle spacings, from 42″ to 121″, wide variety of mounting heights, and the ability to adapt to round, square, or rectangular axles further enhance its versatility. 9700 Series suspensions are available with either fabricated (H) or cast steel (CH) spring hangers. These hangers come in a wide variety of styles designed to fit numerous mounting requirements. Whether your frame is tubular, I-beam, C-channel, G-rail, or something else, Hutchens has a spring hanger configuration to meet your needs.

FEATURES

– A Huck® “lockbolt” fastening system for the rocker/rocker hanger assembly that is virtually maintenance-free.
– Lightweight, fabricated hangers with 1/2″ wear pads and drainage holes to reduce wear at all spring contact points and increase service life.
– Optional cast steel hangers and equalizers with increased wall thickness at spring contact points, eliminating the need for additional wear pads.
– The industry’s finest rocker bushing.
– Wrapped fabricated torque arm eye ends that utilize a single 1″ bolt and a higher clamp load to prevent separation under extreme conditions.
– Torque arm screws that are coated with “NEVER-SEEZ®,” and then painted to resist corrosion while allowing easy adjustment for suspension alignment.
