An air ride suspension system is not as complicated as it might sound. Air ride suspension system simply replaces a standard steel spring with bladder or bag of compressed air. The resulting effect is a much higher shock absorbency ratio to provide a smoother ride to the truck and therefore the trailers cargo.

Air ride equipped trucks use an air ride suspension system instead of conventional steel coils or springs. This suspension system uses an air compressor that provides compressed air into airbags that act like springs when properly inflated.

An air ride system has air bags that usually sit between the frame and the axle. Just like leaf springs, they help to absorb road shock and prevent the transfer of this energy to the frame.

Urgent materials such as radiopharmaceuticals for medical diagnosis or treatment or high-value goods such as technological products and high value commodities are typically shipped by air cargo. Air transport is also ideal for certain food products such as fresh fish, exotic fruits and cut flowers.
