Air Bag

An air bag (air spring) is a component of a truck or trailer’s air ride suspension system designed to improve ride quality and load handling. It consists of a rubber and fabric bladder that holds pressurized air. This air pressure supports the vehicle’s load and absorbs shocks from road irregularities, providing a smoother ride for the cargo and passengers.

Air bags are commonly used in both trucks and trailers to distribute weight more evenly, reduce vibrations, and enhance overall towing performance. They are particularly beneficial for transporting fragile goods, as they minimize the risk of damage from bumps and vibrations during transit.
