Modular magic: ARV Suspensions, the Titan, Titan-X & Titan Air
Angles are vital when you’re installing tough caravan suspension; trailing arms, springs, bump stops and dampers all have their optimal place. So it’s no surprise established chassis manufacturer ARV spent two years designing, testing and tooling up for the local production of a broad suite of easy-to-install trailing arm suspension teaming seamlessly with their and other manufacturer chassis.
Off-road and Semi Off-road suspensions
The solution? The Titan Range, available in off-road, semi off-road and luxury airbag solutions. This is no side-hustle, either, with ARV expanding their workfloor space three-fold to the tune of 10 million dollars–complete with custom machinery.
“We’ve fitted suspension and brakes to our chassis for many years. We just really wanted a bit more quality control,” explains Ian Broomfield, General Manager for ARV.
Aussie-made Holroyd Hubs
Indeed, all ARV suspensions of all specifications are manufactured from Australian steel, Aussie-made Holroyd hubs packed with premium automotive oils, readily-available Pedders shocks and Japanese bearings. What’s more, ARV introduces a unique trailing arm design to The Titan Range, allowing optimal angles for all components.
“We did a lot of CAD testing to prove the designs. Getting the jigs right took a bit of time but it was worth the effort. We’ve got great footage out on the test track.”
ARV Suspensions offers 5-year warranties on The Titan Range and will work with any reputable caravan manufacturer–just ask for it by name.
Titan
Although classing it as Semi off-road, ARV Suspensions takes no shortcuts when using components for this Titan Range spec. Designed for twin-axle caravans, these Titan Range suspensions feature coil springs and a Pedders damper at each wheel and come in a choice of 10in or 12in brake pad, to provide 3300kg and 3500kg maximum ATMs respectively.
Titan-X
The Off-road Titan-X Range offers single- and twin-axle setups for touring and sustained off-road travel. All Titan-X Range suspensions feature coil springs, 12in brakes and twin Pedders dampers, with dual-axle types supporting 3500kg-4500kg max ATMs. Ian says ARV Suspensions also offers 2750kg and 3T single-axle variants in the Titan-X Range!
Titan Air
A caravan industry first, the Titan Air Range offers air adjustments at each wheel–for consistent towing as your load changes. Like the Titan-X Range, the Titan Air Range comprises twin Pedders shocks for single and dual-axle vans, allowing 2750kg/3700-4400kg max ATMs respectively. Four air control types suiting different budgets range from easy-access airing points to self-levelling systems.
