Air Suspension Trailer
Air suspension is a kind of vehicle suspension. Nirvaan Infra has been advancing experience on air suspension trailer from long back.
The popularity of air suspensions or air suspension trailers has grown in nearly
all segments of the trailer industry. In 1996, air
suspension acceptance accounted for 36 percent of the
industry. Today air suspension usage averages about
75 percent. Truckers operating vocational trailers realized
the advantages of air
suspensions early. As a
result, the migration to
air suspensions leveled
off in applications that
show high percentages
of acceptance such as in
flatbeds and drop decks.
Air suspensions continue
to gain popularity for
tankers and have become
the suspension of choice for
aluminum and combo
flatbeds.
Many benefits
drive the steady movement to air suspensions.
Fleet managers experience
reduced maintenance costs and a higher resale value on
their equipment by spec’ing air suspensions. This higher
resale stems from reduced shock and vibration transmitted
to the trailer from the wheels and road. In simple terms,
there is less “wear and tear” on the equipment. Fleets can
also experience enhanced tire life and improved fuel economy.Air suspension Trailer is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. Unlike hydropneumatic suspension, which offers many similar features, air suspension does not use pressurized liquid, but pressurized air. The air pressure inflates the bellows, and raises the chassis from the axle.Drivers continue to insist on a better ride. In today’s
business climate, recruiting and retaining good drivers
holds more importance than ever and driver satisfaction
remains a key to success.As technology advances, air suspensions become lighter
and more price competitive. In addition, air suspensions
increase the resale or trade-in value of a trailer. As the
benefits of technological advances add up, more and
more fleets and owner operators continue to make air
suspensions standard.Some significant benefits associated
with air suspensions trailers include maintaining
consistent ride quality, enhancing driver
comfort and providing cargo protection
over a broad range of payloads.It's no secret that trailers with air suspensions suffer much less wear and tear than those that ride on steel. They enjoy longer cab and vehicle life, lower operating costs, less downtime and fewer failures of expensive onboard equipment. And when trailers ride better, so does their cargo. Trailers equipped with air suspensions often experience less cargo damage than those with conventional suspensions.Our trailer suspension springs enable almost perfect load equalization between axles, so cargo stays put.
The traditional suspension and leveling setup is exposed to harsh environments and is susceptible to wear, misalignment and faulty installation.
These conditions can lead to incorrect vehicle height settings and, ultimately, suboptimal vehicle operation. The intelligent air spring system overcomes
these limitations and provides commercial drivers with real-time trailer height data. The result is enhanced reliability and greater leveling accuracy on
challenging road conditions.Air suspension trailer springs enable almost perfect load equalization between axles, so cargo stays put.
Benefits of Air Suspension Trailer
The tendency to bounce on uncomfortable roads when empty is reduced as there’s more control in the softness of the suspension by using this technology. The associated machinery and materials cost to repair will get down significantly.As Air Suspension in Trailer produce less vibration and it transmits less vibration to roads because of this cost of roads rebuild also come down Vehicles with air suspension are often said to "glide" over bumps, while traditional steel spring suspension can cause a harsher ride. Also, air suspension is often adjustable. That means drivers can select a cushy ride if they're on a rough road or a harsh ride if they want to improve handling.
Sometimes critical situations require drastic measures, where freight cost becomes irrelevant due to certain unforeseen situations. Fastest means of transportation may save millions of USD which may result in loss of production or sales. In such cases Nirvaan provides unique Hand Carry Cargo within India and internationally from anywhere across the globe. Provided with Onboard Courier Service ( OBC) where a person travels with the critical cargo from airport to airport which avoids any offloading of shipments and cargo is booked in baggage along with the escort. This service can be arranged in a very short span of time and hand carried in the fastest available flight which can save days for top urgent shipments or critical medicines
