Why LiquidSpring® is the Common Denominator in Premium Vehicle Performance
Ambulances racing to emergencies. Paratransit vehicles carefully transporting people with disabilities. Families embarking on cross-country RV adventures. Overlanding enthusiasts tackling challenging terrain.
These diverse scenarios all demand exceptional vehicle performance. And at the heart of this performance lies one remarkable technology: LiquidSpring® suspension systems.
The Technology for Every Industry
LiquidSpring suspension systems feature a sophisticated blend of hardware and software that delivers an unparalleled driving experience across all terrains.
What makes this system so versatile across diverse vehicle applications?
At its core is a liquid-based strut and a secondary volume that adjust the ride’s softness or stiffness based on how much fluid is being compressed. An onboard microprocessor directs this adaptive system and monitors speed, steering, braking, and road inputs 1,000 times per second.
Unlike conventional suspension systems that remain static regardless of conditions, LiquidSpring’s intelligent design monitors conditions continuously and makes rapid adjustments to changing road surfaces, vehicle loads, and driving patterns, making it ideal for everything from emergency response to family vacations.
The Emergency Response Gold Standard
For over 20 years, LiquidSpring has been dedicated to serving emergency responders with a suspension that enhances vehicle capabilities, improves driver and passenger safety, and lengthens fleet lifespans. This commitment has resulted in remarkable industry adoption.
Today, LiquidSpring is the #1 choice of OEMs for upgraded ambulance suspensions, earning the trust of 97% of Type 1 ambulances. When lives are on the line, emergency response teams choose LiquidSpring for its reliability and security.
From Saving Lives to Smoothing Rides
The same advanced technology that ambulance manufacturers trust is now revolutionizing the recreational vehicle experience. With a foundation of safety and reliability firmly established, LiquidSpring expanded into the Gas Class A Motorhome market. By 2024, they introduced a single-wheel conversion for Sigma Series Super C RVs to meet the needs of a growing market.
RV owners who upgrade to LiquidSpring quickly discover the difference:
Brian, who owns a 2016 Open Road 35 QBA with a four-corner LiquidSpring suspension, compared his RV to a high-end diesel model. His conclusion? “I have to admit that I think that QBA has the edge in handling and comfort. Yes, I said it… There’s no double bounce.”
Shared Priorities Across Applications
Whether it’s an ambulance rushing to save lives or a family starting off on a cross-country vacation, vehicle operators across applications share key priorities:
1. Stability and Control
For emergency vehicles, LiquidSpring’s proprietary 5-link system allows rescue vehicles to perform their duties safely and effectively, wherever the call takes them.
For adventure truck enthusiasts, the technology provides unparalleled performance on challenging terrain. Jerime Monroe, Owner of Elevation Off Grid, puts it simply: “We are proud to say that we build the finest trucks in the world, with the finest suspension in the world. Thank you to the entire team at LiquidSpring for geeking out over the most overlooked, but most detrimental component to World Class vehicles!”
For RV owners, this same technology eliminates the “white-knuckle experience” of driving in challenging conditions like crosswinds or when passing large trucks.
2. Comfort for Precious Cargo
No matter how you use your vehicle, whether for work or play, it shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Safety and comfort are paramount wherever you go, on the road and off.
In emergency settings, LiquidSpring reduces road and terrain vibrations, improving ride comfort and reducing the risk of driver and crew fatigue.
In the paratransit sector, the City and County of Honolulu found that implementing LiquidSpring resulted in a “complete elimination of passenger injuries related to sudden vehicle movements” and “no further reports of passengers hitting their heads on ceiling fixtures.”
For RV owners, this translates to arriving at their destination refreshed rather than fatigued, allowing them to enjoy and explore sooner.
3. Reduced Maintenance and Extended Vehicle Life
LiquidSpring systems mean reduced stress and strain on vehicle components, and rescue vehicles are always ready to perform when they’re needed most.
In Honolulu’s paratransit fleet, vehicles with LiquidSpring average $0.83 per mile in maintenance costs compared to $1.24 per mile for traditional suspension vehicles—a 33% reduction. They’ve also seen a dramatic reduction in suspension-related issues and significantly improved tire life.
For RV owners, this means reducing wear and tear on the RV chassis and other components, resulting in a longer lifespan for the vehicle, ultimately providing better value for the RV owner.
The Bottom Line: Universal Excellence
The core values that make LiquidSpring indispensable in emergency vehicles are the same qualities that make it revolutionary in RVs, transit buses, and adventure vehicles.
For dealerships and vehicle manufacturers across sectors, offering LiquidSpring represents an opportunity to exceed the expectations of their customers. Whether saving lives or improving them, LiquidSpring delivers on its promise of adaptive performance in all conditions, monitoring road conditions 1,000 times per second to provide the optimal suspension response in any situation.
