to cover light CVs. The SDI series Air Ride Suspension has been developed for drive axles rated between 2,600kg and 5,500kg and is suitable for vehicles under 7.5 tonnes.
It uses Firestone airbags mounted forward of the axle which are connected laterally by a cross spring to ensure positive roll stiffness.
The airbag location allows for maximum axle travel and provides excellent ride characteristics, claims Rapidform. A release valve also gives a kneeling facility, enabling the rear of the vehicle to be lowered by up to 130mm.
So far the biggest orders have come from minicoach operators, with other enquiries from ambulance services.
