As you know, the standard type of suspension, which is installed on most serial minibuses, is a leaf spring suspension. It has certain disadvantages, which are manifested both in the organization of passenger transportation, and in the implementation of transportation of various categories of goods. And the main environment of these shortcomings is the uneven distribution of the load. As well as the lack of compensation for the weight of the car and adaptation to it. As a result, the suspension may feel too stiff or too soft while driving.

To avoid these disadvantages will allow the installation of air suspension. This service is provided to our clients by our company. You can contact us regarding the installation of air suspension for Mercedes Sprinter, Ford, Peugeot and other popular brands of minibuses.

What gives the installation of air suspension on minibuses?

First of all, it is advisable to install air suspension on minibuses that are used as passenger transport. After all, one of the conditions for quality service in this area is to ensure comfort for passengers. Installing air suspension on Ford or other popular brands of minibuses allows you to achieve maximum smoothness of the car. And also to avoid sharp inclinations of the minibus when changing the direction of movement. Passengers will also feel comfortable when stopping the vehicle - the presence of air suspension allows you to avoid the so-called "peck". The floor in such a car will be at a constant height. And even driving on rough roads will not be associated with discomfort for passengers.

Do not assume that the installation of air suspension is in demand only when re-equipping passenger cars. This service is also in demand among owners of cars used for other purposes. And this is not surprising, because the Peugeot air suspension, for example, or installed on a Mercedes, can have a positive impact on various aspects of car operation. In particular, one of the consequences of its installation is a change in clearance. As well as leveling the car in case its loading is uneven. In the presence of air suspension, the load exerted on the shock absorbers is reduced. The car becomes more stable, its sensitivity to a strong side wind decreases.

Many who plan to install Citroen, Ford or Peugeot air suspension are interested in the cost of such work. Our company offers very affordable prices for such services. Using them, you can pay for the installation of air suspension after about 20,000 km of run.

- reduction of longitudinal swings during acceleration / braking and passing through obstacles;
- increase in the service life of the standard suspension elements;
- improving the controllability and stability of the vehicle;
- shock absorption of body vibrations on roads with worn-out surface.

Components of the air suspension:

1. Air springs with mounting kit. The mounting kit is designed individually for each vehicle model, taking into account the design features of the standard suspension.
2. High-performance outdoor oil compressor designed to maintain pressure in the system up to 12 atm.
3. Steel receiver with a volume of 6 liters to maintain pressure in the air springs, excluding frequent switching on of the compressor.
4. Control system. There is a choice of automatic or semi-automatic air suspension control system.

The Ford Transit is the market leader in light commercial vehicles. Installing DRIVE-RITE air suspension in addition to the standard rear suspension can significantly improve the handling and stability parameters of these cars.

The optional DRIVE-RITE* air suspension works in tandem with the standard suspension, which uses a steel spring as an elastic element. The elastic element of the additional suspension is an air spring. Air pressure can be adjusted manually or automatically using DRIVE-RITE control systems. The consumer can choose the best version of the control system, based on the characteristics of the operation of the vehicle.

The additional air suspension significantly reduces the load on the regular springs, improving the vehicle's stability and comfort parameters.

With the help of the control system, the driver can adjust the pressure in the air springs so as to provide optimal parameters of stability and comfort, regardless of the degree of loading of the car.

Optional DRIVE-RITE air suspension is an investment in your vehicle. As you know, over time, regular metal springs lose their elasticity and begin to “sag”, which leads to a decrease in comfort, an increase in loads on the chassis elements, and an increase in driver fatigue, especially when the car is fully loaded.

Additional air suspension is an active component of the regular suspension of your vehicle. A vehicle equipped with the DRIVE-RITE air suspension package is easier to drive, more comfortable and safer throughout the entire payload range.

FAQ

Question: Does your air suspension kit include a compressor (control system)?

Answer: No, not included. But we offer to purchase it separately, with a choice of components specifically for your needs. Firstly, this reduces the cost of the kit, because many do not need a control system, and secondly, you get a product that meets exactly your needs, and not some kind of universal, average set.

Question: How much cargo can I carry after installing the air suspension?

Answer: Now it's up to you, our air bags have huge margin of safety. But we kindly ask you to think about other elements of the car that you did not strengthen, now they are at risk. Use your vehicle wisely.

Question: What is the lifespan of your air suspension?

Answer: When properly installed and used in accordance with our recommendations, the service life of the air suspension practically unlimited. Of course, we do not take into account external damage to the pneumatic element.

Question: The springs need to be replaced, do they need to be changed to install the air suspension?

Answer: Our air suspension kit can be installed and on "tired" springs they do not need to be replaced. If the springs are broken, then they, nevertheless, will have to be changed.

Question: Why so expensive?

Answer: Expensive only at first glance. The kits are created using a large number of imported components, which affects the price. But the price of the kit is comparable to the price of replacing the springs with new ones, and the pillows will last much longer. If you consider the savings on replacing springs, as well as the additional profit from increasing the carrying capacity of your vehicle, you will realize that this is not at all expensive and will pay off very fast.

Question: Should I choose a single or dual circuit system?

Answer: If you use the basic kit without a control system, if you do not overload the car on one side, then you will be enough one circuit(pillows are connected in one highway). For greater stability of the car (for example, with a high height of the body / booth), we recommend installing dual control system.
