What are the benefits of retrofitting auxiliary air suspension on the front and rear axles of light and heavy commercial vehicles?



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 even load distribution on both the front and rear axles.

  • Better Driving Stability: Retrofitting auxiliary air springs helps to improve driving stability. This is especially important with heavy payloads/loading and when driving in bends. The risk of unwanted lateral movements or swaying of the vehicle is reduced.

  • Optimized Suspension and Driving Comfort: Auxiliary air springs improve the vehicle's suspension, leading to increased driving comfort. Bumps in the road are better absorbed, which is more pleasant for the driver and passengers, especially on uneven roads.

  • Reduction of Axle Tilting: The installation of auxiliary air springs on both axles helps to minimize axle tilting, especially in curves or during quick 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 depending on 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.

  • Extension of 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 tires, as wear is reduced.
