Pneumatic suspensions are the most advanced and versatile for all types of conditions.
Very simple from a manufacturing point of view and versatile, because traditional springs have been replaced by air springs, controlled by a pneumatic plant enabling you to:
  • change trim "inflating or deflating" the air springs
  • self-level the vehicle independent of the load weighing on the axles
  • compensate braking actions automatically varying suspension rigidity based on stress
  • stabilise the vehicle on a bend automatically varying air spring pressure based on road reactions, to correct machine trim.
  • interact with braking plant safety devices (braking corrector, ABS, anti-skidding)
  • equip vehicles with a practically unlimited number of axles
At first, the use of these suspensions on farming vehicles was a problem as tractors did not normally have a pneumatic plant. The increased speed of these machines has meant that tractor fittings are just about the same as those on trucks, and therefore pneumatic suspensions, like many other devices typical of industrial vehicles, are now normally used on agricultural machines. Vehicles transporting animals or delicate goods were the first to draw advantage from this important innovation.
