Why our steering and suspension systems?
Maximum manoeuvrability
Electro-hydraulic steering systems enhance the manoeuvrability and positioning accuracy of large vehicles when operating in confined spaces.
Less vibration for patients and personnel
Hydropneumatic suspension systems reduce vibration exposure, improving both patient and staff comfort and enabling them to carry out their duties more easily.
Level control for quick and safe access
Electronic levelling improves accessibility and reduces physical strain, ensuring stable operation on uneven ground.
More space for mission-critical equipment
The compact, lightweight system architecture increases both the available installation space and the useful load capacity.
Suitable for electric and hybrid platforms
These systems are designed for use with electrically powered auxiliary systems and hybrid or fully electric vehicle platforms.

Technical support from the very first development phase
We combine expertise in mechanics, hydraulics, electronics and software. This allows us to support at system and integration level, not only at component level. From the first specification of a new vehicle platform through to homologation and commissioning, we support body builders and OEMs in every phase of the development process.

Electro-hydraulic steering for emergency and recovery vehicles
Electro-hydraulic steering systems make large emergency and recovery vehicles more manoeuvrable and are easy to integrate thanks to their compact design and low weight. This gives more design freedom and can, depending on the application and vehicle type, contribute to lower energy consumption compared with conventional hydraulic systems.
Our steering systems are available for driven and non-driven axles and suitable for a wide range of vehicle configurations. This ranges from compact urban fire service vehicles to heavy recovery vehicles with multiple steered axles.

Hydropneumatic suspension for emergency and recovery vehicles
Hydropneumatic suspension systems keep emergency and recovery vehicles stable and comfortable, even on uneven terrain, under high and varying loads and in conditions that are far from ideal. The system offers optimum axle-load distribution and contributes to even driving behaviour for the driver, the team and the patient.
For applications in which vehicle levelling is critical, the system supports active height and transverse control. This is relevant, for example, for lowering the loading floor of an ambulance during stretcher transport, stabilising a recovery vehicle on a sloping location or setting a vehicle level during deployment.
