ECONOMASTER/RIDEMASTER - Leaf Suspension Systems

The majority of standard trailer suspensions are based on leaf systems. Leaf spring suspension systems have been around for many years. They are simple, economical and reliable. The inter-leaf friction gives inherent damping thus avoiding the need for shock absorbers in basic applications.

All leaf spring bracketry can be supplied pre-mounted onto angle steel to ease installation. All Vehicle Components spring geometries are computer designed in-house to ensure springs will not turn inside out under extreme applications.

Choice depends on requirements. For smaller trailers the ECONOMASTER range of 45x8 is a good option. Where an improved (softer) ride is required move up to the 60x8 leaf spring in the RIDEMASTER, RIDEMASTER Explorer, and RIDEMASTER Premium ranges. These set ups are equally at home on the bitumen or in the outback.

WARNING: All suspension fastenings should be checked 1000km after fitting.
