FAQs

Base Air™ is an advanced method of pressure control in vehicles equipped with pneumatically-controlled air suspension. Originally designed for heavy haulage, the system has been applied to many vehicle types, including trailers, dollys, caravans, agricultural equipment, and lighty-duty utes/SUVs.

Air suspension is typically arranged into either single or dual-circuit systems. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks. Base Air bridges the divide between these two setups, maintaining the benefits of each, throughout changing road conditions, or load distribution. It does this by combining two bespoke Height Control Valves (HCVs), one dual Pressure Protection Valve, and Crossflow technology.

By precisely and actively managing the connection of air circuits in real time, the predictability of a heavy vehicle is greatly increased. This has several benefits:
– Reduced tyre wear
– Reduced driver fatigue
– Reduced fuel consumption
– Reduced freight damage
– Improved load share, reducing road damage
– Reduction in rate of road degradation

Yes, Base Air is available for Light-Duty vehicles, including 4WDs.

In this instance, Base Air is packaged with an “air-assist” kit, that typically includes air-bags, an air tank, and compressor. The Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM’s) suspension remains unaltered.
