FULL AIR SUSPENSION: VB-FULLAIR 4C
Full air suspension is an automatic, adjustable solution to a suspension problem where the existing leaf or coil spring suspension is replaced by a full air suspension system. This system includes air springs, shock absorbers, height sensors, a compressor and an electronic control unit (VB-ASCU).
The air suspension system filters out unevenness in the road surface, improving ride comfort.
While driving, the vehicle will constantly remain at the ride height set by VB-Airsuspension during installation.
The standard ride height is determined during the development of the air suspension and is fixed.
The ride height is the ideal height for comfort and stability. The driveability and stability of the vehicle are improved, which in turn increases safety. When the vehicle is at a standstill (in some cases with the handbrake on), the access/loading platform height can be increased and decreased to comfortably enter and exit the vehicle and for goods to be conveniently loaded and unloaded.
VB-FULLAIR 4C
VB-FullAir 4C is a complete air suspension system on the front and rear axle of the vehicle. 4C or 4-Corner indicates that four height sensors are fitted: two on the front axle and two on the rear axle. The VB-FullAir 4C system comes with one of the remote controls below. You can use our deluxe remote control (VB-Remote control) to easily control all the functions of the system.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR VB-FULLAIR 4C
EMERGENCY VALVE KIT
The VB-FullAir system can be pressurised by means of filling valves in the event of a possible electronic failure or a defect in the compressor. The vehicle can be brought up to driving height again by means of an external air supply so that the journey can be continued.
'EXTRA TIME' MODULE
This module in VB-ASCU ensures that the air suspension remains active for one hour after the ignition is switched off. The vehicle's ignition can therefore be switched off, while all the functions of the air suspension remain active.
ADDITIONAL SWITCH
This is an additional switch that allows the high/low function of the air suspension to be controlled from a different location in the vehicle, for example at the rear door. The advantage of this is that the driver does not have to walk to the cab to operate the air suspension.
VB-AUTOLEVEL
This module allows the vehicle to be positioned horizontally, even when the vehicle is standing on uneven ground. At the push of a button, the vehicle can be levelled quickly and smoothly. Unevenness of up to more than 10 cm can be corrected (depending on the type of vehicle).
