Maintenance-Free Helpers.

Rear-end lift and stability gain under heavy load.

Goldschmitt auxiliary coil springs provide targeted support for the factory suspension systems on the rear axle — particularly in motorhomes and vans with high axle loads. They are mounted in parallel with the existing leaf springs, noticeably raise the rear end of overloaded vehicles, and thereby improve driving stability and handling. Especially with tall superstructures or an unfavourable centre of gravity, the spring systems reduce sensitivity to crosswinds and ensure safe, controlled handling in all driving situations. The systems are maintenance-free, robust, and designed for continuous heavy loads. Depending on the vehicle type, they are installed alongside or directly on top of the existing leaf springs and act as a powerful supplement to the standard spring. They are ideally suited for vehicles that regularly operate at high or maximum rear axle loads — such as mobile service vehicles, service fleets, municipal vehicles, or special-purpose vehicles. As a flexible alternative, Goldschmitt offers auxiliary air suspension systems, where the air pressure in the air bellows can be variably adjusted, allowing the vehicle height to be individually adapted to the current load. This enables precise regulation of the vehicle’s ride height and further optimisation of ride comfort. At our Goldschmitt Technik-Centers, experienced specialists not only carry out professional installation, but also provide comprehensive advice to help you find the optimal chassis solution for your vehicle and individual application.

As an alternative to conventional leaf springs, coil springs can also be used as additional spring reinforcement. Depending on the vehicle model, they are mounted on top of or alongside the standard leaf spring pack, thereby restoring the original spring comfort on overloaded rear axles.

More payload through professional payload upgrades.

In addition to improved spring performance, auxiliary coil springs also open up the possibility of increasing the vehicle’s payload when the standard load capacity is insufficient. This creates valuable additional payload reserves — whether for extensive luggage, additional equipment, or heavy work materials. At the same time, the vehicle remains stable and comfortable, even under sustained heavy loads. A prerequisite for a safe payload upgrade is that load-bearing alloy wheels and correspondingly load-rated tyres are fitted or installed, so that the vehicle can reliably carry the higher loads. The reinforced suspension distributes the load optimally, relieves the standard components, and protects both the chassis and the interior in the long term. On some vehicle types, an additional spring optimization on the front axle can further increase the permissible gross vehicle weight and raise the front axle load. Last but not least, this also contributes to a noticeably higher level of ride comfort. Drivers and passengers alike benefit from greater stability, controlled handling, and maximum safety for people and cargo.

Goldschmitt auxiliary coil springs relieve the standard suspension under high continuous loads, noticeably raise the vehicle’s rear end, and are ideally suited for both retrofitting and as an OEM solution — for motorhomes as well as vans and commercial or special-purpose vehicles with demanding superstructures, interiors, or shelving systems.
