Quality, innovation and ease of use are at the heart of VB’s products, offering a wide range of options to solve a multitude of problems.

 

But don’t take our word for it, over their thirty-year history, VB’s expertise has been recognised by accredited manufacturers such as; (deep breath) Fiat, Citroën, Ford, Hyundai, Izuzu, Iveco, Kia, Land Rover, MAN, Ligier, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Tata, Toyota, Vauxhall and VW. In fact, Mercedes now fit VB air suspension on their own assembly line when the build calls for it.

 

With this manufacturer partner approval, VB-Airsuspension does not void a manufacturers warranty when its installed, which is a possibility for 3^rd party aftermarket kits

 

Examples of VB’s products can be found on many vehicles that you’ll see on the road daily.

 

All Fiat Ducato based ambulances are fitted with VB full air suspension, not only to aid in ride comfort and stability, but to raise and lower the rear axle for ease of access. Both RAC and AA fit VB-Airsuspension to their vans to help with uneven loads from heavy tools. VB can also be found on utility vehicles, HGVs, LGVs and of course, motorhomes.

 

VB’s product offering is built around problem solving, so before we can identify the best solution and best product for you, we need to understand the issues you’re looking to deal with.

If your motorhome or campervan is rocking, swaying or wallowing then VB’s shock absorbers may be a cost effective solution to resolving this. By using FSD (frequency selective damping) the shock absorber regulates the flow of oil through an internal valve to help compensate for any instability. To complement this, VB also manufacture spacer blocks, struts and coil springs. If you’re feeling every bump in the road, if ride height is an issue or if you’re looking to carry a bigger payload, then semi or full air suspension will work wonders for you.

VB Manufacture a variety of kits to suit the many AL-KO chassis configurations out there. Most chassis manufacturers will have AL-KO versions of their chassis, either by AL-KO extensions to the original chassis or by having an AL-KO chassis throughout the cab. As these can vary so much from the layout of the “standard” chassis, VB manufacture kits specifically for each chassis. A quick and easy way to identify if your motorhome is on AL-KO is by looking at your suspension, most standard motorhome chassis use leaf spring suspension while AL-KO chassis use a torsion beam instead.

Semi air suspension is when we fit airbags To replace the factory bump stops to provide support to your leaf springs.

Whilst some height may be gained on the rear axle from semi-air, its main purpose is to aid with stability (Users with motorhomes which have worn torsion beams typically see the most lift in height compared to newer models or AL-KO based motorhomes) Our most common installation has a compressor located underneath the seat, gauges & valves installed in the coin storage on the right side of the steering wheel on Fiat Ducato cabs with manual handbrakes.

Semi air suspension is also commonly required when deciding to up-plate your motorhome.
