Hendrickson has scheduled its next round of technical suspension training for the heavy-duty transportation industry with its ninth session of the Hendrickson Vehicle Suspension Institute (HVSI), slated for June 19-22 in Exton, Pa.
The HVSI program provides technicians, as well as parts and service personnel, with a basic orientation for the recommended installation, service, maintenance and repair procedures for newer models of Hendrickson truck and trailer suspensions. According to the company, hundreds of technicians from the U.S. and Canada from independent repair facilities, fleets and OE service dealerships have participated in the past eight installments in Chicago, Canton, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Los Angeles.
The two sessions held from June 19-22 at the Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in Exton will be hands-on training covering the Primaax EX vocational truck air suspension and Haulmaax rubber block truck suspension, and suspension system performance analysis. Hendrickson regional service managers and technical support managers conduct the training sessions, which are spread over a day and a half. Additional sessions are planned in 2012 and will be announced at a future date.
“The overwhelming feedback on our HVSI program has been outstanding,” said David McCleave, aftermarket/technical services director for the Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems. “It is our objective to train and educate as many technicians and parts professionals as possible to keep our customers’ trucks and trailers on the road and in optimum condition.”
