## Product description

### Shock absorber for caravan and trailer

The AL-KO Octagon shock absorber is a wheel shock absorber for caravans and trailers that helps improve driving comfort and stability on the road. This red version is tuned to a specific weight range and is suitable for applications where calmer road handling and fewer unwanted axle movements are important.

When used on the correct axle and vehicle configuration, this shock absorber contributes to better control on the road, including on uneven road surfaces, in bends, and during braking manoeuvres. That makes it an interesting option for those who want to equip their caravan or trailer correctly from a technical point of view for regular road use.

### Technical features and dimensions

This AL-KO Octagon shock absorber is intended for:

- single axle up to 1800 kg
- tandem axle up to 3500 kg
- mounting on compatible AL-KO applications
- colour: red
- mounting bolts not included

The stated dimensions are compact and practical for replacement or checking an existing installation:

- extended end-to-end length: approx. 41 cm
- extended centre-to-centre measurement: approx. 38 cm
- compressed end-to-end length: approx. 28.5 cm
- compressed centre-to-centre measurement: approx. 24.7 cm

### Version for the correct weight range

Within the Octagon range, shock absorbers are matched to a specific weight range. This allows you to choose a damper more precisely to suit the load of your caravan or trailer. A correctly matched damper supports more stable handling and helps reduce shocks and residual vibrations in the chassis.

This shock absorber is especially suitable for owners of a caravan, folding camper, or trailer who value neat, controlled road holding. Especially on longer journeys or with a loaded combination, a properly matched shock absorber is an important part of driving comfort.

### Installation and use

This version is supplied without mounting bolts, so it is best to check in advance which fixing materials are required for your chassis or existing mounting points. It is also advisable to carefully check the installation dimensions and the permitted weight range to ensure a correct replacement.

The AL-KO Octagon shock absorber is a suitable choice for technical maintenance, replacing worn dampers, or improving the road handling of a compatible caravan or trailer.
