Vehicles, and especially light commercial vehicle (LCV) chassis, are designed to manage a wide range of loads

Arnott explains that suspension solutions are developed for average loads, providing the maximum possible comfort when the vehicle is empty and concurrently providing necessary safety when fully loaded.
Consequently, the suspension can be too strong, making the ride harsh for an unloaded vehicle.
On the other hand, Arnott says the suspension is too weak for permanently loaded vehicles, causing premature wear of the steel suspension and an uncomfortable driving experience.
Arnott explains many LCV manufacturers use either conventional coil set-ups or leaf spring configurations in their suspension systems.
It says the advantage of using coil springs is that it provides more overall comfort, whereas a leaf sprung suspension, due to its progressive nature, can cover heavier loads.
Arnott says Air helpers offer an adjustable solution to manage cases of more permissible gross weight or increases in the maximum permissible axle load.
The spring reinforcement optimizes the suspension, increasing the safety and usability of the vehicle.
Due to not overstressing the suspension, Arnott says air helper springs eliminate premature wear and tear and improve drivability, increasing the vehicle’s lifespan.

Air Helper Springs​
Arnott Air Helper Springs are designed and engineered to complement your suspension, preventing it from sagging with increased payload and providing extra stability and increased ride comfort.
Air helpers offer an adjustable solution to manage cases of more permissible gross weight or an increase in the maximum permissible axle load.
Arnott says the spring reinforcement optimises the suspension, increasing the safety and usability of the vehicle.
Arnott says Air helper springs are the most convenient and flexible solution because no matter if the vehicle is empty, permanently partly loaded or always fully loaded, it always has the capacity of providing the best possible drive comfort and maximum safety and stability.
Since the suspension is not overstressed, Arnott says air helper springs eliminate premature wear and tear and improve drivability, increasing the vehicle’s lifespan.
Arnott says Air helper springs are designed and tested in the USA or in the Netherlands and use only the highest quality components.
With 35 years of experience in engineering suspension and air springs, Arnott says the designs are optimised to create an easy-to-install product with fewer pneumatic connections to minimize the risk of leakage.
