Advantages of Air Springs for Trucks

Air suspensions offer some significant advantages over traditional coil or leaf spring suspensions on trucks and trailers.

Ride Comfort
Drivers who spend a lot of time behind the wheel are subject to the effects of “NVH” (noise, vibration and harshness). These factors can lead to fatigue, back pain, hearing loss (if the truck is noisy), and more. Fatigue is deadly, so anything that can reduce the chances of a driver falling asleep at the wheel is a benefit. Improving comfort in a truck also means less time away from work due to pain.

Drivers report that trucks equipped with air suspensions are easier to drive over bumpy surfaces and more maneuverable. Drivers also have the choice of a softer ride when driving on the highway or a firmer ride for better handling and less body roll on more challenging roads.

Short wheelbase trucks have a reduced tendency to pitch over bumpy surfaces when unladen because the softness of the suspension gives them more control.

Reduced Wear
Air suspension means less vibration in the vehicle and less wear on truck or trailer components. Smoother suspension characteristics also improve tire wear, and some systems can lift axles unnecessarily, extending tire life.
