AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group and its subsidiary E&P Hydraulics announced the introduction of LevelVan: a hydraulic leveling support system for vans that allows significantly more payload thanks to its low weight.
“LevelVan from E&P is the first and only hydraulic levelling support system with a net weight of less than 50 kilograms specifically designed for vans,” the company said. “ It’s all thanks to the use of carbon cylinders — a material that is hard to beat in terms of lightness.”
Increased payload
The four hydraulic cylinders made of a carbon-aluminum-steel mix level the van precisely, gently and quietly at the touch of a button. This mix of materials saves around 30 % in weight, preventing the loss of faster traveling speed, AL-KO said.
Light components, simple assembly
The steady legs extend automatically in just a few minutes, leveling the vehicle into a horizontal position to ensure a firm stance. Two customized positions can be saved: Leveling position and tank-emptying position. LevelVan is easy to install thanks to a chassis-mounted pump unit (to maximize internal locker space), pre-crimped hoses and plug-and-play configuration — all fitting material delivered as part of the kit.
