NEW FABRICATED BEAM GUIDE FOR THE H9700 UNDERSLUNG
WIDESPREAD 97” & 109” AXLE SPACING SUSPENSIONS

3317501 Fabricated

1283405 Cast

Hutchens has developed a new fabricated beam guide assembly for the underslung 97” and 109” axle spacing suspensions. Previously, the beam guides for these suspensions were only available as cast steel. There is a mounting surface and visual difference between the fabricated and cast steel versions that we want our customers to be aware of, see the above views.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, all fabricated H9700 97” & 109” underslung suspension kits will be supplied with the new fabricated beam guides (part number 33175-01). We will continue to provide the cast beam guides (part number 12834-05) in all cast CH9700 97” & 109” underslung suspension kits. The cast beam guides will also remain available as replacement parts.

For additional installation information, please refer to Hutchens engineering drawing 27532.
