Secondary (Cab) Suspension

Our MR technology enables equipment operators of industrial, agricultural and off-highway equipment to improve productivity over conventionally suspended cabs. Optimal shock and vibration suppression and real time control result in better protection to vehicle occupants.

MR Technology Advantages

Mitigation of end-stop hits. Relative to passive suspension systems, our MR system’s superior responsiveness to extreme terrain changes enables it to provide superior mitigation of end-stop hits (the topping or bottoming of the suspension) in the ride experience, leading to greater operator efficiency and safety.
No compromise between ride comfort and ride safety. No compromise between ride comfort and ride safety. Unlike passive suspension systems, which are a design compromise between ride comfort, shock (end-stop hit) prevention and roll-and-pitch control, the semi-active LORD MR system provides superior vibration isolation with greatly enhanced shock control while continuing to provide protection against roll and pitch. These enhancements are realized without the need for passive roll-and-pitch control components, such as roll bars.
Superior value to fully active systems. Unlike “active” hydraulic systems, which must be custom-integrated into each cab-system design, our MR system is comprised of components that can be applied to a variety of cab configurations without modification of the vehicle. In addition, our MR system components are fewer in number, simpler in design and smaller in total size. These benefits can lower the total cost of suspension system design, components and installation. Further, the cost savings from our MR solution can be realized while offering suspension performance that is comparable with that of expensive, fully active suspension systems.
