The United States Air Force has chosen Raydan Mfg Inc's award-winning Air Link air-ride walking beam suspension as standard equipment for the new R11 refueler trucks. This deployment represents the first time that the Air Link system has been used by the US Air Force for refueling trucks.
“The R11 refuelers are built by Kovatch Mobile Equipment on chassis manufactured by the International Truck and Engine Corp in Garland TX,” said Ray English, president and chief executive officer of Raydan. “As of May 24, the Air Link system will be installed on International's assembly line, the first of a minimum expected production of 80 units per year, leading to potential revenues of $6 million (Canadian) through the duration of the project.”
