At Hannover, the Adr Group will unveil a new pneumatic suspension system for agricultural trailers, designed to withstand the most extreme working conditions in terms of operating speed and terrain elevation changes.
Alongside it, the Lombardy-based company will present its first self-driven axle — another major milestone in the group’s technological evolution
A world leader in trailer undercarriage systems for the agricultural sector, Adr has chosen the Hannover trade fair to further expand its already extensive range of hubs, axles, and suspension systems for both interconnected and independent wheels, by launching a new pneumatic suspension system.
The star of this innovation is the “RideMatic” system, with a 13-ton capacity, intelligently controlled by a dedicated electronic unit programmed to maintain optimal load leveling of the trailer bed regardless of the transported weight or the terrain conditions.
In practice, this is not merely a suspension designed to “bear weight” — it actively responds in near real time to the stresses exchanged between the wheels and the ground, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride than traditional mechanical suspensions.
Acting also as an automatic load-leveling system, RideMatic adjusts itself dynamically during cornering at high speed and full load, such as when the trailer travels on winding roads. The result is greater stability and safety, allowing operators to reduce transport times from the field to storage or delivery sites.
Thus, RideMatic directly contributes to farm profitability, much like ADR’s second major innovation showcased in Hannover — the company’s first hydraulically driven axle.
Developed in partnership with Black Bruin, a Finnish company with over 60 years of expertise in hydraulic power systems, the new ADR drive axles combine the traditional brake drum with a radial-piston hydraulic motor that delivers traction power precisely when and where it’s needed — directly under the load.
Equipping an agricultural trailer with one or more driven axles guarantees better mobility on difficult terrain, reduces mechanical stress on the tractor, minimizes tire wear, and protects the soil by optimizing traction distribution between the tractor and the trailer.
Additionally, this system enables work even under adverse weather conditions — such as muddy fields, ice, or snow-covered roads — which would normally make trailer use impractical.
