AL-KO chassis

We love quality. We live quality.

The AL-KO chassis is always the foundation for enhanced safety, better driving dynamics and noticeably increased driving comfort. In collaboration with notable vehicle manufacturers such as Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, we have achieved an unrivalled level of performance and we have the right answer for virtually every transport requirement in our sector. Our innovative concept for motorhomes and commercial vehicles is based on the hot-dip galvanised chassis concept in lightweight construction and the wide-track chassis with independent wheel suspension developed by AL-KO. The standard torsion bar suspension is also unique among chassis manufacturers in the leisure vehicle market.

You can choose between the following chassis variants: 2-axle, 3-axle and 13-inch chassis.

A low frame chassis is predominantly used for motorhomes. These usually have a double floor, providing usable space between the chassis and the baseboard of the motorhome. The additional space can be used as an installation level for heaters and tanks, or for freely usable storage space. Particularly low frame chassis from AL-KO offer the option of maximum storage space between the floors, or reducing the overall height of the vehicle. AL-KO chassis are distinguished from original chassis based on the axles. While straight axles are predominantly fitted in original chassis, AL-KO axles come equipped with independent wheel suspension with torsion bars as standard. This system utilises little installation space and boasts optimum dynamic properties.

The AL-KO chassis offers a diverse range of options following installation. The extensive range of accessories is specially tailored to AL-KO chassis and they can be attached to the vehicle in a rather straightforward manner with little mounting effort involved. Steady legs, spring systems, spare wheel carriers, towbars or light brackets are just some of the possible special equipment options, which you can use at any time to upgrade your AL-KO chassis. Experience greater safety, comfort and practicality with your vehicle each time you hit the road.
