Suspension

Our 6x6 FULLY FLOATING COIL SPRING BOGIE SUSPENSION with in built 6 WHEEL STEER FUNCTION, ENABLES OUR 6X6 to TRAVERSE EXTREME TERRAIN, even with FULL RATED LOADS.

The 6X6 AUSTRALIA VEHICLE is ABLE CONSISTENTLY TO OUTPERFORM AND OUT HANDLE the original 4x4 base vehicle, WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF LOADS OR SPEEDS, which says a lot for the 6X6 AUSTRALIA SUSPENSION and the fact the new load capacity is THREE TIMES THE ORIGINAL 4X4 LOAD RATING, with The new Gross Vehicle Mass/Weight of the 6x6 being DOUBLE the 4x4.

The 400mm PLUS WHEEL ARTICULATION of OUR 6X6 BOGIE SUSPENSION is obtained by the UNIQUE COMBINATION of COIL SPRINGS and LOAD SHARING BEAMS and the coil springs are in fact FAR STIFFER THAN LEAF SPRINGS but RIDE FAR SOFTER due to the much HIGHER LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY OF COIL SPRINGS when COMPARED TO LEAF SPRINGS.

This all means YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO, without COMPROMISING between RIDE COMFORT, or ON ROAD and OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE, which is the normal situation in 4x4’s.

The FOUR COIL SPRINGS used in our bogie suspension HAVE A COMBINED SPRING RATE OF MORE THAN FOUR TIMES THE ORIGINAL PAIR OF LEAF SPRINGS, GIVING A LIMOUSINE RIDE, WHILE WORKING LESS BUT CARRYING LOADS ABOUT THREE TIMES HIGHER.

The GREATLY INCREASED SPRING RATE, INCREASES THE ROLL STIFFNESS of the 6X6 and REDUCES BODY ROLL TO 4 DEGREES, THIS MAKES THE 6X6 HANDLE LIKE A RACE CAR ON STEROIDS. The SIX WHEEL STEER FUNCTION is ACHIEVED BY DESIGNING

THE SUSPENSION GEOMETRY PROPERLY, giving a FULLY IN BUILT BOGIE ROLL STEER to ASSIST with DRIVER CONTROL.
