MCK AIR DRIVE auxiliary air suspension for AL-KO chassis

The MCK AIR-DRIVE system can be combined with the coil springs from the Mille pistes kit.

The product is based on MCK Plug&Drive suspension kit to which are added the parts required for the AL-KO chassis, i.e. shock absorbers and specific fasteners.

As each motorhome has its own specific characteristics, we invite you to consult us for any request in order to define the vehicle's requirements.

Suspension, in conjunction with shock absorbers, is essential for absorbing shocks and vibrations caused by uneven roads. They are all the more important on motorhomes. Because of their heavy weight, these vehicles face specific problems and constraints in terms of comfort, whether on the road or at a stopover.

To improve your comfort on board your motorhome, Mecatek offers you its range of MCK Air-Drive auxiliary air suspensions, designed for vehicles fitted with an AL-KO chassis.

What are the advantages of MCK Air-Drive auxiliary air suspension systems?

Auxiliary air suspension refers to a system of air cushions supplied with compressed air via a 12V compressor. Controlled via a control panel integrated into the motorhome dashboard, this system complements the vehicle's original suspension, which often consists of leaf springs.

The auxiliary air suspensions help to improve the comfort experienced on board the motorhome, particularly when loaded, whether on the road or stationary.

Dedicated to motorhomes fitted with a AL-KO chassis, The MCK Air-Drive range of auxiliary air suspension systems is currently the most innovative and suitable suspension system available for motorhomes. Here are all the advantages:

Correcting the base for motorhomes

The auxiliary air suspensions in the MCK Air-Drive range allow you to correct the motorhome's trim, i.e. its inclination in relation to the ground, by simply varying the pressure of the air cushions. Changing the pressure inside the air bags will allow the motorhome to return to its original trim. As a result, it will be more stable on the road, as well as on the stage.

What's more, as well as optimising the stability of the motorhome, the auxiliary air suspension make it easier to reposition the high beam.

Improved straight-line stability

MCK Air-Drive auxiliary air suspensions will improve the straight-line stability of your motorhome in many situations:

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

Roll reduction

The advantage of auxiliary air suspension is also that it reduces the roll of the motorhome on bends and roundabouts. Because of their heavy weight, motorhomes can roll a lot when turning. Visit MCK Air-Drive air suspension are ideal for compensating for this inertia.

Optimising torsion bar work

Torsion bars are an integral part of the motorhome suspension system equipped with a chassis with AL-KO axles. Their main function is to absorb shocks and vibrations on the road, but also to maintain the stability of the motorhome to ensure the comfort of the passengers on board.

MCK Air-Drive auxiliary suspensions are designed to assist the original suspensions of motor homes with AL-KO chassis. They facilitate the work of the torsion bars fitted to these vehicles.

Greater driving comfort

MCK Air-Drive air suspensions are made up of air cushions that help absorb shocks and vibrations while driving, greatly improving driving comfort on roads with irregular surfaces.

Finally, the air suspension are designed to make motorhomes much more comfortable to drive on uneven roads, thanks to the excellent shock absorption provided by the air cushions.

Raising the rear of the motorhome

The MCK Air-Drive air suspension can also be used to temporarily raise the motorhome on demand, making it easier to pass speed bumps, climb kerbs or board ferries.
