Airide integrated cab air-damping system

Firestone Industrial Products' Airide Integrated Cab Air-Damping System offers a lighter-weight alternative to cab mount suspension applications, providing the functionality of an air spring and shock absorber in a single part. The system is comprised of an exterior bellow made of natural rubber that encompasses a proprietary, shock-absorbing module. Preliminary testing indicates a reduction in the transmission and frequency of vibration when compared to traditional air spring/shock absorber or air spring/hydraulic damper configurations. The Airide Integrated Cab Air-Damping System reduces driver fatigue, and since the system reduces vibration inputs in the cab structure, there is less wear-and-tear on cab mounting points.
