Airbags are only the beginning when it comes to heavy vehicle suspension

Despite what the name suggests, Brisbane-based Airbag Man supplies far more than just airbags when it comes to heavy vehicle suspension.

As an approved Firestone distributor for truck, trailer, cab, and seat airbags, Airbag Man has been supplying air suspension systems and components to the heavy vehicle market since 1995. 

Beyond supplying high quality replacement airbags, the company also designs and manufactures a range of suspension assist kits for the heavy vehicle industry.

Where a multi-leaf or parabolic leaf spring cannot cater for the large varying loads alone, Airbag Man’s helper kits are designed specifically to mount between the leaf spring and the chassis providing additional support.

An Airbag Man helper system achieves a safer vehicle for both the driver and their cargo, supporting the load to prevent bottoming out and suspension sag, while also improving vehicle stability, handling and braking. 

From their state-of-the-art facility in Brendale, the team also supplies a wide range of air control components for heavy vehicles, including height control valves; raise/lower valves; brake protection valves; lift axle valves; as well as pressure control regulators and gauges.

Airbag Man is an authorised distributor of Firestone airbags for heavy vehicles.

System-specific enclosures are designed and assembled in-house to meet customer and legislation requirements, following ISO9001 Quality Assurance Operating Standards. 

The proudly Australian owned and operated family business, which started off in a suburban garage 30 years ago, is now one of the largest airbag suspension companies in the world. To meet growing demand, Airbag Man has expanded its product range to an impressive 7000 line items (and growing).

Airbag Man founder and managing director Richard Clamp said their products were made to stand up to the demands of heavy vehicles in the harsh Australian conditions.

“Over the last 30 years, Airbag Man has been synonymous with air suspension in Australia, in partnership with world-leading brands like Firestone and Dunlop,” Richard said.

“Our suspension products are well proven in Australia’s harsh conditions, with thousands of satisfied users over the past three decades.”

Airbag Man’s commitment to excellence extends beyond just its products. The company prides itself on its customer service, offering expert advice and comprehensive support to ensure customers get the most out of their air suspension systems.

“Our customers are the heart of our business,” Richard said.

“We’ve built long-lasting relationships by providing solutions that truly add value, and that’s something we’ll always continue to do.

“Backed by a team of specialists and supported by a vast dealer network, Airbag Man is a one-stop-shop for all your heavy vehicle air suspension needs,” he said.
