Hendrickson has launched an online truck suspension systems parts catalog.

The new truck parts catalog with interactive navigation can be browsed online under header of “Digital Parts Catalogs.” The digital parts catalog is accessible through any mobile or desktop device and does not require additional downloads or apps.

The catalog offers the ability to make side notes from the bottom toolbar.

“The notes are specific to the user and they remain available when you return using the same device,” states David McCleave, director aftermarket for Hendrickson.

Hendrickson says it is continuously improving parts information accessibility. Digital parts catalogs for trailer, auxiliary axle, and bumper and trim divisions will also be released in the coming months.
