Hendrickson said Comfort Air’s main support member exhibits lower roll stiffness to give a more compliant ride and enhanced protection from road shocks for passengers, drivers, chassis and equipment.

To further soften the ride, a longer main support member allows the air springs to carry more of the vertical load. A wider frame hanger bracket spreads out road forces over a greater area to help reduce frame stress and increase vehicle life, the company added.
