Air ride

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000133

A suspension system in vehicles, particularly trucks and buses, that uses compressed air instead of conventional springs to support the chassis and absorb road shocks. This system provides a smoother ride, reduces vibration, and can maintain a constant vehicle height regardless of load. Air ride suspensions are common in vehicles transporting sensitive cargo or passengers.
