Hendrickson now offers Quik-Draw pin-pull mechanism retrofit kits and individual actuators and valves for 42" and 48" slider boxes.

Kit part numbers are: 42" retrofit kit, D-25430-2; 48" retrofit kit, D-25430-8. Service part numbers: 42" front actuator with fittings, B-25234-1; 42" rear actuator with fittings, B-25235-1; 48" front actuator with fittings, B-25234-2; 48" rear actuator with fittings, B-25235-2; and three-way automatic reset valve, VS-25223.

A pneumatic, pin-pulling system, Quik-Draw reduces driver effort to a fingertip pull. After trailer brakes have been set, the driver pulls the externally mounted operating knob on the slider. When activated, Quik-Draw applies continuous pressure until pins release, simplifying repositioning if pins are frozen or jammed. Once the slider has been repositioned, a push of the knob resets slider pins.

Quik-Draw enhances safety by automatically resetting pins when the trailer emergency brake is released. Quik-Draw is compatible with all Vantraax slider designs. For more details, contact Hendrickson, 800 S Frontage Rd, Woodridge IL 60517-4904.
