Base Air.
Level the Road.

Elevated performance.

The Base Air system comprises two bespoke Height-Control Valves (HCVs) and one Dual-Pressure Protection Valve (DPPV), along with unique Crossflow technology. By first creating two independent air circuits - one for either side of the vehicle - the suspension can then best respond to road conditions on that side. When a vehicle returns to level ground, Base Air’s unique Crossflow technology reconnects the two circuits, providing equal pressure and better load-share.

Industry leader

Recognised as the most innovative safety technology for heavy vehicles on Australian roads for 2023.

Significant reduction in tyre-wear.

Base Air makes the response of air suspension more predictable by locking in the air volume of each circuit when dynamic conditions occur. This is accomplished with no electronic sensors or controls; and manual pressure adjustments are never needed. A more predictable vehicle response makes driving smoother, reducing tyre-wear, freight damage and driver fatigue.
