Air Ride Suspension
Also known as: air suspension, airbag suspension
A suspension system that uses air-filled bags instead of metal springs to support a vehicle’s load.
Air ride suspension improves ride quality and cargo protection by absorbing road shocks more effectively than traditional springs. It allows ride-height adjustment and is common on long-haul tractors and trailers. The system also helps reduce driver fatigue and freight damage.
