Independent wheel suspension for SILOKING self-propelled units – Greater driving comfort on rough tracks and on longer journeys

SILOKING has equipped the new SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Premium 2215-22 self-propelled vertical feed mixer with independent wheel suspension at the rear as standard (optional for other Premium models and for the SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Compact). In connection with a steering angle of 45°, the newly developed independent wheel suspension makes sure that the high-capacity self-propelled moves smoothly and robustly with poor road conditions and over longer distances on and between farms.

The new independent wheel suspension has an electronic level control system, in which an optimum vehicle position is achieved regardless of the load, and has hydro-pneumatic suspension, in which the hydraulic cylinders work in combination with a compressed air storage system. The interaction between these two components results in above-average smooth driving characteristics and impressive driving comfort.
Large-dimensioned 355/50 R22.5 tyres also assist the positive steering behaviour. Since the overall steering and suspension mechanism in the new machines is generously dimensioned and the unsprung masses have been reduced, the susceptibility to wear is also reduced.
