9000 Series
Application: The 9000 inside I-beam slider is designed for platform trailer and similar applications where a mounting height approximating that of a standard spring suspension without a slider is required. This slider requires no body rails. It is assumed that the trailer frame rails are "I" sections in-line with spring centers. These frame rails must conform to the dimensional limits noted in our 9000 Parts and Installation Catalog Section. The 9000 inside I-beam slider utilizes Hutchens sidemount hangers, and is only supplied with hangers and pipe braces attached. The 9000 inside I-beam slider is available in single, tandem and tri-axle configurations with numerous axle spacings and standard spring centers of 36", 38" and 44".
Capacity: Consistent with Hutchens suspensions, the 9000's gross axle weight rating (G.A.W.R.) is limited to a maximum of 25,000 lbs./axle.
Features:
- Sidemount hangers, with UHMW pads fixed atop, that are attached to the slider frame...permitting frictional contact directly with the I-beam frame.
- A lock pin assembly located on top of the slider frame that allows indexing of the slide by means of holes in the web of the I-beam frame...eliminating the need for body rails.
- Locking pins located on 90" centers accommodating holes on 6" increments along the I-beam frame. Limited slide positions can be accomplished by piercing the frame at appropriate locations.
