How Base Air works | Base Air: Level the Road

Equal length lines

Front-to-back and independent side-to-side dynamic suspension control. Symmetrically equalised air pressure and balanced suspension loads when dynamic control is not required.

Historical approach to
heavy-vehicle suspension & safety:

Significant improvements continue to be made in advancing the safety and stability in the transportation industry, however standard height control valves’ (HCVs) continued focus is only on maintaining a vehicle’s ride-height. Prime movers and their trailers are still subject to unstable conditions, with varying loads across different environments.

Air management with Base Air™

With the Base Air™ system installed, air is independently delivered to each suspension spring. This significantly improves the vehicle’s handling and ride-height.

Available for trucks and trailers

Base Air™ technology is available for any heavy vehicle equipped with air suspension, including trailers. An entire combination equipped with Base Air would provide maximum benefit.

Mechanically adjusts

Base Air actively and mechanically adjusts vehicle suspensions—in real time—in response to changing vehicle dynamic driving conditions (i.e., offset weight, weight shift, load changes, body roll, axle input, braking, accelerating, etc.).

Stable air-flow

The benefits that the Base system provides to a heavy-vehicle combination is the result of dramatic improvement in overall stability. Fuel consumption, tyre-wear and driver fatigue are all reduced, while load integrity is increased.
