Base Air.
Level the Road.

Dynamic and precise air-management

Applicable with multiple suspension manufacturers, Base Air is a method of pressure-control that allows vehicles to operate between single and dual air circuits as required.

Instantly adjusts

The Base Air system comprises two bespoke Height-Control Valves (HCVs) and one Dual-Pressure Protection Valve (DPPV), along with unique Crossflow technology. By first creating two independent air circuits - one for either side of the vehicle - the suspension can then best respond to road conditions on that side. When a vehicle returns to level ground, Base Air’s unique Crossflow technology reconnects the two circuits, providing equal pressure and better load-share.

Reduced tyre wear and driver fatigue

Base Air makes the response of air suspension more predictable by locking in the air volume of each circuit when dynamic conditions occur. This is accomplished with no electronic sensors or controls; and manual pressure adjustments are never needed. A more predictable vehicle response makes driving smoother, reducing tyre-wear, freight damage and driver fatigue.
