Air suspension for vans and light trucks

Like all modified vehicles, converted vans need, in certain configurations, suspension systems to absorb the shocks associated with the vehicle's body movements. The role of suspension, in conjunction with shock absorbers, is to absorb the impact of road imperfections when the vehicle is in motion. A quality suspension system is therefore a guarantee of greater road comfort, stability and safety.

Sawiko France helps you to improve your driving comfort at the wheel of your van by offering you the’installation of air suspension systems MCK, which can be fitted to the chassis of vans and converted vans from a wide range of brands.

What is air suspension?

An air suspension is a type of suspension that consists of a air cushion system powered by a 12V compressor.

An air suspension system is connected to a control panel on the vehicle's dashboard. The role of this control panel is to adjust the air suspension by adapting the volume of compressed air sent to the air cushions.

Thanks to their wide range of adjustment options, air suspension systems can significantly improve the comfort experienced on the road, particularly when the van is loaded.

Why fit your van with air suspension?

Installing an MCK air suspension system on your van is advantageous in more ways than one.

Firstly, you can more easily correct the trim of your van, i.e. its inclination in relation to the ground. You can easily stabilise your van by varying the pressure of the pneumatic cushions. This will restore your van to its original trim and reposition its headlights.

Equipped with air suspension, your van will also be more stable in a straight line, especially :

• When you drive faster
• When you experience sideways gusts of wind
• When passing or overtaking large vehicles

By equipping your van with air suspension, you can significantly improve driving comfort on uneven roads, thanks to the shock-absorbing effect of the air cushions.

The air suspension of your van will also allow :

• Reduce roll on bends and roundabouts
• Compensate for the sagging of the reinforcing strips
• Optimise the work of the torsion bars
• Temporarily lift the van on demand to pass speed bumps, climb kerbs or board ferries more easily
