Delicate Cargo Solutions

Many clients have delicate and valuable cargo to transport and a standard van or trailer just won’t do the job. Such clients often transport aircraft and helicopter parts, museum pieces such as vases and paintings, computer equipment, computer servers for TV companies outside broadcast units, rare glass, and of course injured people. Each requires an air suspension solution that is bespoke and not catered for in our load support kits, or low rider kits.

Clients who have specific requirements and whom think they need air suspension but may not be sure what they need are welcome to contact the sales office for further information. We can design an air suspension solution specifically to meet each clients needs.

New Air Bag stock

After struggling over the past few months to keep bags in stock due to high demand we now have pallets of bags on the shelf for around 90% of all bags we supply. These can be purchased via the shop but if you need advice please feel free to email office@airride.co.uk.

Every day we are asked to supply replacement bags for vehicles due to airbag failure (usually after 5-15 years in service). If you need replacement air bags then please measure the bag, and send some digital pictures of the bag (still on the vehicle if necessary), in the first instance. From this we should be able to advise as you should note part numbers are almost entirely useless and we generally supply only current technology for bags.

For replacement of worn out or damaged airbags it is essential for safety reasons to replace them in pairs. This is true of metal springs true but doubly so for airbags as technology has moved on considerably over the past few years with spring rates appropriate for vehicles being used.

Airbag Selection added to Shop to buy

We have just finished adding the bulk of our commonly used airbags (also called air springs or air bags or rubber bellows) to our shop where they can be purchased. These are at the heart of any air suspension conversion. The Airbag supports the weight of the vehicle and is responsible for the great ride and the ability to lift or drop the vehicle.
Almost every day I am approached by someone wanting to replace a worn out airbag. Usual life expectancy is probably greater than a metal coil or leaf spring at about 5-10 years with negligible deterioration is ride quality – its the air that supports the vehicle and not the rubber! Metal springs are softer after only a few years.

If you are replacing an existing spring then our end caps are aluminium to resist rust, and have multiple fittings to assist if you are upgrading from Firestone, Dunlop or other old style airbags. Please email pictures and dimensions if you need advice – its rarely as simple as a part number when replacing airbags.

Classic Mini

We have exciting news on the Classic Mini kit front.  We have been busy redeveloping our air suspension kit for the Classic Rover/Austin Mini and hope to have the new kits available and in stock for the start to middle of September. Although we have been producing air suspension kits for the mini since 2007 they required very expensive billet front dampers.

The new kit uses an alternative solution that gives more lift, more comfort and reduced production costs.

The redevelopment work will hopefully see a very stripped down and basic kit introduced in the sub £1000 bracket. As always a huge number of options ensure that every kit is built to meet an individual clients needs.

Compressors in stock – 200 psi and 120 psi

12v Compressor

We have lovely METAL compressors for air suspension. They vary from our superb 200psi, 100% duty cycle at 100 psi units pictured down to the trailer and van units at 120 psi 15% duty cycle. All compressors are specifically designed for use as suspension compressors and are not recycled tyre inflation units. We recommend the high spec units for most applications. They are a better specification that the compressors used on new range rovers and other high end prestige cars.
