LiquidSpring LLC introduced front-axle suspensions for ambulances at FDIC 2018.

The front suspensions can be integrated with the company’s CLASS rear-drive axle suspensions. Variable stiffness and damping is adjusted automatically and instantaneously based on road conditions and without driver intervention, the company notes in a release.

Other features include 7,000-pound GAWR and a kneeling feature to improve cab and side door egress. Two models are currently available: Model FS70F for Ford 450/500 and Model FS70R for Ram 4500/5500.
