Henderson Axles?

[NVR FNSH]

I'm looking at a KIT Mfg Patio Hauler 351F & have been told by the factory that they use 6K Henderson axles. Anybody have any experience with these axles?

You sure thats was not Hayes axles?

Hayes are exspensive to work on. Very exspensive.

The email stated 'Henderson Wheels, 6000lb - not upgradable'.....

What makes Hayes so expensive to maintain vs Dexter (or others)?

There is a company called "Hendrickson" that has been building axles and suspension for the big rigs for years. Top quality, very reliable. They have a new air ride steer axle that will be very popular on the 2002 model Freightliner trucks.

Found out the axles are Alco/Hayes with 12x2 brakes. The beams are rated at 7K & the springs are 6K.

Any specific issues to look out for with this set-up?

A buddy of mine from Beeville needed to replace the brakes on his gooseneck. He had 2-10,000lbs Hayes axles. If he would have bought all new brakes (4 elec. )it would have been around $700 dollars. I replaced all 3 sets of brakes (triple 7000lb torx axles dexters) on my gn for about $380.

Henderson axle is located on south lake street in salt lake city, ut. I upgraded the axles on my travel trailer & found them very good to deal with. The paper work with telephone & address are in my trailer stored 50 miles from house. Should be able to get that from information;Ron
