After all these years, it is still the most versatile trailer suspension on the road today.
The Hutch 9700 Series remains the leader in our long and distinguished line of trailer suspension systems. Hutch Suspensions incorporate innovative thinking that results in a durable and reliable system that not only extends service life, reduces downtime and protects your cargo - but also provides a smooth and comfortable ride.
The 9700 Series can be assembled in single, tandem or multi-axle configurations. In addition, mounting heights from 6" to 20+" are easily achieved. The 9700 Series offers axle spacings from 42" to 121" and comfortably adapts to round, square or rectangular axles. A wide variety of springs offer suspension capacities from 22,400 up to 25,000 lbs/axle. All 9700 Series suspensions are available with either fabricated (shown here) or cast steel spring hangers and rockers. These hangers come in a wide variety of styles designed to fit numerous mounting requirements. Whether your frame is tubular, I-beam, C-channel or a G-rail, Hutchens has a spring hanger configuration to meet your needs. We also have a package specifically designed for tank trailer applications that utilizes cast rockers and cast torque arm eye-ends.
