In South Africa’s commercial trucking sector, operating costs can make or break a business. Every rand spent per kilometre counts, from fuel and tyres to maintenance and downtime. What if you could reduce these costs and improve profitability without compromising performance?

The hidden costs in every kilometre
Many fleet operators unknowingly lose thousands each year to issues caused by poor suspension systems:

• Premature tyre wear: Worn or low-quality shock absorbers cause uneven wear, forcing early tyre replacements.
• Frequent suspension repairs: Inferior shocks increase strain on suspension components, leading to breakdowns and higher maintenance costs.
• Higher fuel consumption: Unstable suspension raises rolling resistance, driving up fuel usage.
• Costly downtime: More breakdowns mean trucks off the road and lost income.

Powerdown shock absorbers are engineered for the toughest South African conditions, delivering measurable savings and superior performance.

• Reduce Cost Per Km: Powerdown protects tyres and suspension, cutting down on replacements and repairs.
• Maximise Tyre Life: Consistent road contact prevents uneven wear, saving thousands per truck annually.
• Lower Fuel Costs: Stable suspension reduces rolling resistance, improving overall fuel efficiency.
• Increase Fleet Productivity: Less downtime means more trips, greater load capacity, and higher profits.

Fleet managers, workshop supervisors and transport business owners…the numbers don’t lie. Every avoidable tyre replacement or breakdown eats into your bottom line. Powerdown’s LTS, SuperShock and RoadTrain ranges are designed to deliver maximum durability, stability and cost efficiency for your fleet.
