Air suspension for car transport & vehicle recovery
Vehicle transport and recovery work require control, stability and safe loading conditions. Whether used on car transporters, recovery vehicles or beavertail trucks, the right air suspension system can help operators load, unload and transport vehicles more efficiently, with less risk of damage.
VB-Airsuspension systems support adjustable ride height, improved vehicle stability and greater control during daily operation. This helps make loading and unloading easier, while also supporting safer and more stable transport on the road.
Vehicle loading should be controlled and predictable
Every loading situation is different. The vehicle being carried, the body design, the loading surface and the available space can all affect how smoothly the process goes.
That is why the loading angle remains such an important factor in car transport and vehicle recovery. Even with ramps, beavertail bodies or tilt mechanisms, a steep or inconsistent angle can make loading more difficult and increase the risk of contact damage.
A more manageable loading angle helps make vehicle loading easier, safer and more controlled.
Better protection once the vehicle is on the road
Once the vehicle is loaded, the focus shifts from loading control to transport stability. Road conditions, vehicle weight and movement on the body can all affect comfort and control during the journey.
By reducing shocks and movement during transport, VB-Airsuspension helps support a more stable ride, better driver comfort and added protection for the vehicle on board.
How air suspension supports loading and transport
VB-Airsuspension systems adjust the vehicle height depending on the situation. During loading and unloading, the rear of the vehicle can be lowered to help create a more favourable loading angle.
During driving, the system supports vehicle stability and helps reduce the impact of road irregularities on the vehicle being carried.
This gives operators more control during loading, unloading and transport.
FULL AIR SUSPENSION MAKES LOADING AND UNLOADING EASIER
In regular vehicle transport, a lower loading angle can help reduce the risk of contact damage and make day-to-day operation easier.
In recovery work, vehicles may be harder to manoeuvre, unable to move under their own power or positioned where loading is less straightforward. In those situations, extra control during loading can be even more valuable.
These are practical challenges we understand through close cooperation with bodybuilders, VB-Partners and end users in vehicle transport and recovery. That experience helps us develop suspension solutions and control options that support real day-to-day operation, not just technical specifications.
Suitable for a range of vehicle transport and recovery applications
VB-Airsuspension systems are suitable for applications where vehicles need to be loaded safely and efficiently onto a carrier body. This includes car transporters, recovery vehicles, beavertail bodies and other specialist transport applications. Available for selected chassis configurations, including Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Iveco Daily.
