Air suspension for animal transport and horse trucks
Transport can be demanding for horses and other animals. Bumps, vibrations and sudden movements can cause stress during the journey and may affect the condition in which animals arrive.
A smoother, more stable ride helps make animal transport calmer and more comfortable. Air suspension reduces harsh movements from the road and helps the vehicle remain stable, even when carrying valuable or sensitive animals.
This can help reduce transport stress and support animal welfare, especially during longer journeys or when road conditions vary.
For vehicles transporting animals, the right suspension setup can make a clear difference to comfort, stability and the wellbeing of the creatures on board.
EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE (SUSPENSION) PROBLEMS?
Animals are highly sensitive and, just like people, will feel every pothole and bump in the road. Animals – whether we are talking about fish, deer, horses or alpacas – are sensitive to vibration and this can create discomfort for them. A sense of instability and a steep ramp can also cause stress for animals. Air suspension makes the journey smoother for both animals and humans. Your animal will arrive more relaxed and you will have a more comfortable ride too.
THIS WILL PROBABLY SOUND FAMILIAR
If you regularly move your horses by road, you'll be aware that you are carrying a significant amount of extra weight. This may cause problems, such as your vehicle bottoming out or sagging at the rear. This is the case, for example, with compact horse boxes – driven on a B licence – that are fitted with standard suspension: these are two examples of (suspension) problems we regularly hear drivers reporting.
WHAT A RESULT!
VB-Airsuspension (air) suspension systems provide solutions for your suspension problems, so you and your passengers enjoy optimum ride comfort, increased stability and greater safety when on the road. The additional features provided by our air suspension, such as the kneeling function, mean the ramp can be lowered making it much less steep for the animal – !another big benefit!
