How are Air Springs Used on Trailers?

1. Air Spring Installation Location
Replacing Traditional Leaf Springs: Some trailers use air springs directly as the main suspension system, replacing steel leaf springs or coil springs.

Auxiliary Suspension (Stacking): Air springs are added to the existing suspension system to provide additional support when loaded (commonly used on heavy-duty trailers or RVs).

2. Core Functions
Load Control: Air springs adjust the air pressure to accommodate different loads (lowering the air pressure when unladen reduces jolts, while increasing the air pressure when heavily laden provides enhanced support).

Height Control: Maintains the trailer's levelness, preventing tilting or diving due to uneven loading (especially important when coupled to a tractor or pickup truck).

Shock Absorption: The elastic properties of air springs absorb road vibrations, protecting the cargo and improving comfort (especially important for delicate equipment or RVs).

3. Typical Application Scenarios
Cargo Trailers: When transporting heavy equipment, air springs are used to balance axle loads and avoid the risk of overloading.

RV/Camping Trailers: Maintain vehicle stability, reduce sway during parking, and enhance comfort.

Racing Car/Yacht Trailers: Protect valuable equipment from road impact.

4. Advantages Compared to Traditional Suspension

More Adaptable: Adjust air pressure with a single click to adapt to varying road conditions and loads.

Protecting the Vehicle Structure: Reduces impact from bumps on the trailer chassis and cargo.

Extending Tire Life: Balancing the load prevents uneven tire wear.

5. Precautions: Regularly inspect airbags to prevent aging, cracks, or leaks.

Avoid Overinflation: Observe the manufacturer's maximum air pressure specifications.

Winter Protection: Extreme temperatures may affect rubber elasticity, so use frost-resistant materials.
