Benefits of auxiliary air springs for trucks, commercial vehicles, motorhomes

Retrofitting auxiliary air springs to the front and rear axles of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) can offer several advantages:

  • Improved Load Capacity: Auxiliary air springs can increase the vehicle's overall load capacity. This is particularly important when heavy loads need to be transported. It supports an even distribution of the load on the front and rear axles.
  • Better Driving Stability: Retrofitting auxiliary air springs helps to improve driving stability. This is especially important with heavy loads and when driving through curves. The risk of unwanted lateral movements or swaying of the vehicle is reduced.
  • Optimised Suspension and Ride Comfort: Auxiliary air springs improve the vehicle's suspension, leading to increased ride comfort. Bumps on the road are absorbed better, which is more pleasant for the driver and passengers, especially on uneven roads.
  • Reduction of Axle Tilting: Installing auxiliary air springs on both axles helps to minimise axle tilting, especially in curves or during rapid changes of direction. This contributes to the vehicle's stability.
  • Adaptation to Various Loading Conditions: The ability to adjust the air pressure in the auxiliary air springs according to the loading condition allows for more flexible adaptation of the vehicle to different load weights. This is particularly important for vehicles used for various purposes.
  • Extended Component Lifespan: Due to the more even load distribution on the front and rear axles, auxiliary air springs help to extend the lifespan of axle components and tyres, as wear is reduced.
