Air suspension on a tag axle (18 Viewers)

[Just us on Tour]

Hi All
I am after some advice please . Has anyone had rear air suspension fitted to a tag axle ? If so , does it make much difference . What are the advantages. We are looking to buy a particular tag MH but it has air suspension on the rear . I am wondering if the air suspension reduces the payload . I have not had a tag before but I am told they are more stable than a single rear axle , that being the case I am trying to understand why the previous owner spec it with air suspension?
Any advice greatly appreciated .
Thank you

I’ve had Goldsmitt air suspension for 20 years+just had it replaced as they were going crackly like a worn tyre ,wouldn’t be without them handle like s Mini Cooper o the bends,have there extra anti roll bar it makes it amazing,you could also have goldsmitt front HD springs simply wonderfull.Then update to 5000kilo.

Maybe added to increase payload

I’ve got rear air on a Carthago tag axle. Fitted because of a fairly long overhand that could ground otherwise. Easy to adjust the height according to load. Rides great. Able to up-plate from 5000 to 5500kg
