    The Hutch Series 10 Slider for dry van and refrigerated trailers combines lighter-weight materials and new design concepts, allowing it to be offered with a 10-yr. warranty, according to Hutchens Industries.

    Intended for trailers with a 48-in. nominal frame width and 49-in. axle centers, the new slider accommodates most Hutchens leaf spring and suspension options, and works with all current company van-slider body rails, according to the company.

    Features include a 9-in deep frame made of high-strength steel, Huck fasteners, large dimension lock pins, and the company’s patented EZ-Pull pin release system.
