AL-KO IRS Axle

The AL-KO IRS Axle (Independent Rubber Suspension) is a fully independent suspension system for caravans and trailers, renowned for its stability, safety, and durability in tough Australian conditions.

The IRS features a unique, low-maintenance design that uses rubber torsion elements for damping road shocks.

Key Features and Benefits

Independent Suspension: Each wheel is independently suspended, improving the trailer’s stability and reducing the risk of dangerous snaking and weaving, especially under heavy loads.
Unique Self-Damping Mechanism: The system uses a hexagonal outer tube housing three rubber elements and a triple-fluted inner tube. Suspension movement compresses the rubber elements, which inherently dampen road shocks and slow down the rebound, ensuring a smooth ride.
Low Maintenance: With fewer moving parts (no springs or shackle bolts), the system requires less maintenance compared to traditional suspension systems.
Versatility: The axles are available in various load capacities (from 300kg up to 2500kg for highway use) and can be configured for single, tandem, or tri-axle setups, with options for off-road and marine applications (hot-dipped galvanised versions).

Customisation: A range of options is available, including different stub axle lengths, ride heights (standard, low-line, super low-line), and various brake types (electric, hydraulic, or mechanical disc/drum).
Australian Made: The axles are manufactured in Australia to exact engineering standards and tested with advanced alignment technology for optimum performance on local roads.
