HydraShox™ Platinum

As competition spurs the need to carry heavier loads at higher centers of gravity, the energy they exert can damage the entire car/rail system. The HydraShox™ hydraulic stabilizers from A. Stucki Company are designed to absorb that damaging energy by lowering the impact at the wheel/rail interface to prevent rail damage. HydraShox™ hydraulic stabilizers provide a “cushion” to protect against the adverse effects of rock, roll, bounce, and pitch. As they dissipate energy, it lowers the impact, extends the wheel life and the life of truck friction components, thus extending the life of the car itself.
