Optimised shock absorbers

Special components

Shock absorbers with modified characteristics that replace the original units for more stable, comfortable and safer driving – especially under heavy or variable loads.

Optimised shock absorbers at a glance

The original suspension of the vehicle was fundamentally designed for light commercial vehicles. Practical experience shows that the original springs and shock absorbers often struggle to cope with the increased weight – for example of ambulances and motorhomes. As a result, spring travel is reduced, the bump stops are reached more quickly and the driving characteristics become uncomfortable and unstable.

Our optimised shock absorbers replace the original units and become part of the existing suspension. They are available for both the front and the rear axle, in two types: variable and heavy-duty shock absorbers. Depending on the vehicle and its application, we recommend the right one.

Key features

  • Replace the original shock absorbers, front and rear axle
  • A more stable vehicle, less body roll
  • Less rattling, vibration and interior noise
  • Small bumps are felt less
  • Added value under heavy or variable loads

Versions

Variable shock absorber

A mechanical system automatically adjusts the damping force.

  • Improved driving comfort
  • Enhanced stability and safety
  • Less vibration and unwanted noise: road irregularities are less noticeable inside the vehicle

Heavy-duty shock absorber

Developed specifically for heavily loaded vehicles: unlike mechanically adaptive systems, with fixed, optimised damping.

  • Noticeably more stable handling
  • Reduced body roll
  • More confidence behind the wheel under heavy, constant loads
