For commercial vehicles and transporters

Accessories for more comfort and safety

Whether transporters, platform vehicles, sales vehicles or horse transporters — commercial vehicles are subject to particularly high requirements, especially those that are used commercially. They should be functional and ergonomic, offer comfort and naturally ensure the greatest driving safety. After all, the load should arrive at its destination undamaged, and comfort is not to be neglected when driving such a heavy vehicle. Depending on individual demands, you can make the transport safer and more comfortable with the right accessories for transporters and commercial vehicles.

Accessories for commercial vehicles: Suspension systems for the greatest demands on comfort

AL-KO offers retrofittable air suspension for commercial vehicles such as the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Volkswagen Transporter and Citroën Jumper with AL-KO chassis. The fully automatic systems contribute to distinctly improved vehicle response, compared to standard fittings. In addition, if needs be they create more ground clearance for easier parking on inclines or when loading or unloading. During the drive, hard shocks are effectively cushioned and the driving response optimised — for example with ruts, when cornering or with braking manoeuvres.

Thanks to automatic balancing of the vehicle level, driving properties are optimised. Differences in height are also compensated for on the diagonal. Driving stability, comfort and smooth running significantly and sustainably improve. Manual setting of the vehicle level by remote control not only makes ramps and parking on slopes easy, it can also improve off-road driving characteristics.

 

Practical accessories for Transporters: Spare wheel carrier

A puncture on a commercial vehicle that is needed on the road is particularly annoying. Therefore there should always be a spare wheel on the vehicle. With the weight-optimised AL-KO spare wheel carrier that is attached under the trailer, you save space and are always well prepared. In addition it lowers the centre of gravity and thus improves driving response.

Equipped with mechanical steady legs for any parking place

Whether it’s a sales vehicle on a gravel path or a horse transporter that is parked in the meadow next to the paddock — commercial vehicles often have to be parked on uneven or sloping ground. With the mechanical ClickFix steady legs from AL-KO, that’s not a problem. By manually compensating for differences in height with a crank, you can use this sturdy accessory to ensure that your commercial vehicle stands safely and firmly — on all types of ground.

Equipped with the right coupling for every load

Commercial vehicles are often exposed to demanding conditions – whether on construction sites, off-road or in urban delivery traffic. With AL-KO’s robust towing devices, the connection between vehicle and trailer remains stable and reliable at all times. The high precision fit makes coupling and uncoupling easier and ensures safe driving in all operating conditions.
