OPTIMAAX® for FreightlinereBay logo Vehicles
SECTION 2

Product Description
HendricksoneBay logo’s OPTIMAAX® liftable forward tandem axle and suspension system is a 6×2 solution
to help fleets save fuel cost and weight with comparable handling to 6×4 tandem axle configurations. Operating as a liftable axle in the forward tandem position, this system provides versatility
for fleets with variable loads.
OPTIMAAX is Ideal for diminishing load carriers such as: bulk haulers, grocery, livestock, beverage
or applications experiencing empty back hauls. It includes integrated lift axle, suspension and
automated controls. OPTIMAAX is available in 20,000 pound capacity and is compatible with
drum brakes and disc brakes.
FIGURE 2-1

■■ OPTIMIZE Automated Controls — Proprietary program logic controls lift axle movement and

load transfer. Fully automated controls eliminates driver intervention and training. Automates
axle lowering and lifting by sensing load capacities.

■■ OPTIMIZE Savings — Achieves up to three percent additional fuel economy improvement

through eliminating one (1) drive axle (6×2 configuration). Provides up to two percent additional fuel economy improvement through lifting the non-drive axle (4×2 configuration).

■■ OPTIMIZE Traction and Handling — Lifted axle position provides increased traction by

increasing drive axle load. Improved traction when backing under trailers in soft soil or wet
conditions versus traditional 6×2. Maintains vehicle handling characteristics by keeping the
drive axle behind the fifth wheel.
