The first tandem system will be fitted free of cost in exchange for your old suspension, so be one of the first to benefit from this offer.
Transform your old caravan with this bolt-on galvanised tandem-axle leaf-spring suspension kit. It replaces the standard ALKO suspension with a more robust trailer leaf-spring suspension and new axles that absorb road impacts in a traditional way.
The condition of your original ALKO axle is no longer a concern; this unit will replace the whole lot and bolt onto the existing caravan chassis rails.
The Solution
Ideal for older caravans with failing rubber suspension cords. If in doubt, our technicians can inspect your suspension for hidden wear, damage, size, and other issues, and advise on the best approach for your particular case.
We’ve engineered a custom solution to upgrade European caravan suspensions, making them tough enough to withstand harsh NZ road conditions. Our latest upgrade replaces the entire ALKO suspension with a heavy-duty leaf spring system, with new hubs and brakes, significantly improving towing stability, tracking, and highway handling. You will not lose any of the original features that you are familiar with; the hitch will remain the same as long as it is still in good working order, the original handbrake should connect to the new system, and if you have an anti-sway device on your caravan, we can marry it to the new brakes and hubs.
How it works.
The process is straightforward. We simply remove the existing axles and install a whole new running gear
-
What's included: The frame is designed to receive the new leaf springs, axle system, hubs, bearings, wheels and brakes.
-
Seamless integration: All components connect seamlessly to the existing handbrake and hitch via the existing cables.
-
WOF Ready: Because all the components are brand new, you’ll have no WOF issues or comebacks when installed correctly.
Why is this a good option?
New Zealand doesn’t have smooth Autobahns like those in Europe, and Kiwis strongly prefer leaf-spring setups over Duratorq systems. This upgrade ensures smoother towing by allowing the suspension to absorb road shock more effectively. It is a solid, trouble-free solution built specifically to cope with our potholed roads.
Customisable Fabrication
Through extensive research and development, we can accommodate a wide variety of European caravan chassis designs and weight specifications. Just send us the make and model, and we’ll narrow down the exact components you need. Please be patient as we continue ironing out minor issues and finding solutions.

Things to be aware of!!
If your caravan has been towed for some time with a poor suspension, you may have already damaged the existing structure.
By structure, we include the interior cabinets and furniture, which are part of its structure.
The furniture consists of floor-to-ceiling bulkheads. Attached to cabinets that sit on the chassis rails, this all forms part of the overall caravan structure
Please ensure that the interior components are well connected to the walls, floor and ceiling. Otherwise, the vehicle will continue to deteriorate even after the suspension has been replaced. Do not try to reattach the bulkheads and cabinets if the caravan is not fully supported in its original factory state on level ground with the suspension in place.
If in doubt, contact us or let us conduct a free assessment before any work starts in order to identify any issues.
