Explain the advantages and disadvantages of air suspension semi trailers

In the future, semi trailers will be equipped with air suspension. I believe everyone is familiar with the term "air suspension". Today, at Trailer Home, we will briefly explain the advantages and disadvantages of air suspension, which will also facilitate better choices when purchasing semi trailers in the future. As the name suggests, air suspension is simply a suspension with air springs as elastic elements, and its most obvious feature is the airbag type air springs. What are the advantages and disadvantages of air suspension? Let's take a brief look below.

One of the biggest advantages of lightweight air suspension is that it is much lighter compared to traditional steel plate spring suspension. This is also an important reason why ordinary users pay attention to air suspension. Under the current weight based charging system, the lightweight advantage of air suspension is obvious.

Secondly, compared to lightweight, vehicles with air suspension have smoother driving, which is more noteworthy. The elastic coefficient of the air spring, which is the softness and hardness of the spring, can be automatically adjusted according to the needs. When the vehicle is driving at high speeds, the air spring becomes harder to improve the stability of the vehicle. When encountering poor road conditions, the air spring becomes softer to improve the comfort of the vehicle. By adjusting the air spring, the height of the cargo compartment can be kept constant, which is beneficial for protecting the safety of the goods.

Thirdly, the ability to lift and lower is reflected in two aspects. Firstly, the axle can be lifted through air suspension, which is beneficial for reducing tire wear and saving fuel, especially suitable for working conditions with unilateral emptying.
