Hydro-Pneumatic Suspension can be supplied with a control system to allow the suspension setup to maintain a constant ride height regardless of the vehicle load. This setup is advantageous to vehicle applications that require a constant working ride height. Hydraulic suspension is very advantageous to the constantly  hanging loads on agricultural machinery during operation. This suspension setup also provides a more stable and consistent centre of gravity thus improving control of the vehicle at a range of speeds and cornering.

Using dual acting rams in this suspension setup allows for future expansion with developing controls systems capable of “slope control” during off-road operations. This will actively keep the load/trailer body in a vertical position when operating on uneven ground to improve safety and further reduce the risk of vehicle rolling.

The Dual Acting Ram allows an axle to be lifted when the trailer is unladen, this helps in the reduction of tyre wear.

Hydraulic Drawbars can provide many benefits over standard mechanical or rigid drawbars. The hydraulic rams connected to gas accumulators provide a smother journey with less shock loads. The hydraulic rams provide greater stability in the field and on the road. The drawbar valves enable the drawbar height to be adjusted to transfer weight on the vehicle. There are also valve options to give load compensation to get the best performance from the drawbar laden and unladen.
