Below are some of the comments we have received from our satisfied customers
LoadSafe installed VB Semi Air which transformed our Mercedes Sprinter Kea Breeze M660 from a WOF to a COF (now 4080kg). We now have a motorhome that, when loaded with the basic necessities for a holiday, is not overweight. The ride is a lot smoother and stable. Being able to adjust heights at the rear means the rear clearance is much better. I was very impressed with Bruce's knowledge and service and have recommended him to a number of people. I am very satisfied with the end result
After talking to Bruce about the front suspension ride on our Renault Master motorhome he suggested a better type of front springs. After fitting, the MH has a far better and more stable suspension. Bruce knows what he talking about and is so easy to deal with. TOTALLY recommend Loadsafe.
I contacted LoadSafe to enquire about Rear Suspension upgrade for our Dethleffs Motorhome and received prompt attention to my questions. The fitting of the VB system was completed to a very high standard. Driving away afterward revealed a dramatic improvement in handling and there is now the ability to raise the rear of the vehicle for access to sites and to negotiate Ferry Ramps. Rear axle loading uprated also. Bruce was great to deal with and clearly knows his work. Thoroughly recommended.
We fitted a VB 4C Full Air Suspension to our Fiat Ducato Autotrail Delaware a year ago and are very happy with it. We can now negotiate the Cook Strait Ferry ramps without tail strike. The auto-level function is great when parked on moderately uneven ground. We haven't noticed much change in ride quality but the other features have made the upgrade very worthwhile. Bruce at LoadSafe was very helpful throughout the whole process.
I recently upgraded my Fiat Ducato rear axle load rating. The whole process was made so easy by Bruce from my first enquiry to final certification. The kit and the information supplied made it a breeze to install myself. The system works great too. So good to be able to adjust to suit the load and to level the van somewhat. Well done Bruce , Thanks
Bruce’s knowledge and customer service is outstanding from quotation to delivery. We had VB semi air fitted to the rear of our Frankia on a Mercedes platform. The result has been excellent for softening the ride and convenience of raising and lowering the tail from the dashboard. Highly recommend Bruce and Loadsafe if considering air suspension.
We needed the airbags and new springs done on our A Class Dethleff Esprit. LoadSafe was recommended to us by several people. We are in Lower Hutt and so decided to give them ago. Bruce was so nice and explained it all to us. We dropped it in for a day (hired a small car to get around) then went back the next day to get the certification. You cannot go wrong using LoadSafe quick and efficient and such a nice man.
Bruce fitted VB air suspension to oir motorhome to avoid "taildragging" His emails were informative with excellent knowledgable facts. His quote was easily obtained via the website, and the subsequent booking made to accommodate our needs. He said it would be fitted and ready in 3 hours -- IT WAS. Highly recommend this Company for professionalism, service and value
We chose to upgrade our new Benimar running on a Ford Transit as it was impossible to keep under the weight limit of 3,500 kg. We are now easily within the upgraded limit of 4,100. A bonus is the better handling, especially in windy conditions. Bruce was great to deal with and provided the kit and all the necessary paperwork for compliance. With the actual installation work carried out locally in Christchurch.
Bruce fitted VB Air bag suspension to my Ducato motorhome, increasing the payload to 4000kg and rear axle to 2250kg, the ride in the motorhome is 100% improved, the noise level in the motorhome has decreased significantly. Bruce defiantly knows all the ins and outs re upgrading motor home suspension, I have no hesitation recommending him to assist with your suspension upgrade.
Bruce was up front and honest with all the questions we asked we had VB full air suspension fitted to our 2008 Fiat Ducato motor home and the end result is far beyond our expectations. If your considering doing full air or semi air Bruce is the man
Our Rapido motorhome had 16inch Borbet alloy rims, VB semi air suspension with dash mounted control panel, VB coil springs with Koni frequency selective dampening shock absorbers front & rear creating a perfect combination of superior ride comfort and exceptional road holding. What a magnificent difference it has made. Bruce is a pleasure to deal with answering any questions that comes his way. One of the best contractors I have ever dealt with. Would highly recommend his services.
My Mercedes Sprinter LWB weighed 3850kg. I contacted LoadSafe and spoke to Bruce about my issue, and was able to upgrade the vehicle to 4050kg GVM. Within a month after fitting, I received all the necessary documents to take to VTNZ in Silverdale Auckland for the COF inspection. The empty weight was 3380kg with no load and two people I was already over 3500kg. The vehicle is also 45mm higher at the back giving it more ground clearance. Thank you Load safe for a Job well done.
From first contact to driving away from his workshop, Bruce was very easy to communicate with. His answers to all my questions were well explained and I felt confident with the solutions he put forward. My 2018 Fiat Ducato now has VB semi air suspension, GVM is now up to 4000kg's, she has new heavy-duty mags, and the ride/drive is noticeably smoother, especially when towing. Bruce knows his stuff.
Bruce certainly knows his stuff, the airbag suspension fitted to the rear of our Dethleff Esprit have softened the ride noticeably and allow us to raise when necessary to avoid gouging out the entrance into some petrol stations!! Couldn’t be happier.
Great work, Bruce really knows his stuff, and was very helpful while I went thru the process to upgrade my Roller Team form 3500 to 3850Kgs with out change the rims and springs just added the Bellows and recertified , Dropped the van in the morning and it was ready that after noon to pick up. Its been working really well and gives us good options regarding the on board weight and can now load the bikes etc and have no concern about being over weight.
I found the information on the site extremely useful. I am looking for a 'small' camper that can tow my 2.6t boat and trailer legally. I want to have GCM under 6T to avoid getting Class 2 license. I think I am right in working out that if I have GCM of 5.99 my 2.6 boat and trailer would leave a GVM of 3.13 (allowing 10% for downward towball weight transfer). Your advice of getting everything weighed and making proper allowances for what is in the rig is spot on - before buying. Thank you
LoadSafe supplied & arranged fitting of VB Air suspension to our Iveco motorhome, Full Air on rear axle & Semi Air on front axle. Bruce made the process so easy, his replies to my many questions prompt and made me very confident .The MH rides better, is more comfortable & more stable on the road. Corners are no drama, large vehicles like truck & trailer units no longer affect the MH when passing close in the opposite direction.You couldn't wish for a better experience than dealing with LoadSafe.
Excellent. Had VB semi air suspension added to the rear axle of a Fiat Ducato chassis MH, bringing the GVM up to 4,000kgs from 3,650; then later had stronger VB coil springs and Koni frequency-selective shock absorbers installed on the front. These have both made big improvements to the suspension and ride of the motorhome. Bruce is an expert, straight-up, meticulous engineer.
Recently we have fitted the VB air suspension to our new Fiat Motor Home. Bruce was extremely helpful with the installation. This is the second motor home he has upgraded for us. So we can highly recommend Load Safe. Cheers
We recently fitted full air suspension to our Burstner Aviano. What a magnificent difference it has made to the handling and ride comfort. The ability to adjust the vehicle height allows access to steep driveway entries and exits and travel over rough terrain. The self levelling means we can park where we want. The impact of wind has lessened both while driving and when parked up, plus we can carry extra weight. Bruce was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the whole process simple.
We have a Ford Bailey Adamo 75-4i with a rather long rear overhang. Before fitting the VB air rear suspension upgrade we bottomed several times. Bruce fitted the rear VB air for us and we’ve not bottomed since. We just have to remember to stop and inflate, then take back to normal afterwards. As a side benefit this has enabled us to increase our weight to 4100kg, we were already on a COF but only 3550kg. Now no worries about being weighed up! Great service from Bruce, thoroughly recommended.
Contacted Bruce to see if I could purchase a VB airbag kit for my Swift 694 and fit myself. Made the whole process easy and answered all my questions when I got into difficulties installing the kit. All worked out and now I’m within my max axle weights and a comfortable ride as a bonus.
We had semi air suspension fitted on the rear axle of our Autotrail Tracker as well as getting mag wheels. Upgrading the GVM from 4,400kgs to 4,800kgs which does away with any overloading fears. Great service received with no problems to talk about. Thanks Bruce.
Bruce did a great job on our fiat Ducato sunlight van, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and his equipment to anybody. The new airbag system is a dream to use and gives us a lot more confidence to take the van to my sons rather steep rutted drive, and also ferry ramps, thank you Bruce it’s a top job
LoadSafe arranged the supply of the VB semi air suspension kit and supervised the installation to our Traillite, Bruce guided us through this process with an expert eye for our safety and was totally knowledgeable when it counted. Many thanks for a professional and helpful experience, I would recommend LoadSafe. Thanks Brian H
Bruce did a great job fitting his air suspension system to my Auto Trail motorhome. He had it all completed in a few hours including the Engineers Certificate. I can recommend Bruce for his knowledge of his product and helpful follow up.
At a motorhome rally, Bruce weighed our Benimar 294 & to our surprise, we were overweight. We decided to book our vehicle in with Bruce to have the semi air suspension upgrade. Bruce was excellent to deal with & kept us well informed during the whole process. We are now legal with all the certifications completed, & most importantly our insurance is also compliant. We have no hesitation in recommending Bruce at Loadsafe in Tauranga. Vaughan G.
Thank you Bruce, For the clear communications as to our needs for the upgrade. Everything went like clockwork with the suspension upgrade and certification. Well worth the trip up from Christchurch. We arrived back with a smoother journey and when I went for the swap from WoF to CoF it took less than an hour! We can now carry more, but also my Omeo ramps up into the garage and our adventures allow more freedom for us.
Fabulous communicator and really happy with the way our motorhome has been performing with the new suspension kit etc. Thoroughly recommend Bruce and his work!
We have had a overweight WOF Campervan, after Bruce had talk at a EBOPNZMCA outing we changed it to a COF. Bruce did a very good job and we had no problems to get it registered and got our first COF. Cheers Bruno P.S.: the Van drives much better now
We found Loadsafe a useful way to increase the payload on our Dethleff Trend Motorhome. Bruce was very good to deal with & the whole procedure was a successful experience.
We had the VB semi air kit install on our Dethleffs Pulse Classic (Fiat Ducato Maxi). We had it installed so that we can lift the rear of the motorhome after having bottomed out and damaging the rear bumper. We didn’t need a weight upgrade but it has given us a smoother ride plus it’s given us a bit more payload in the rear garage. Bruce made the process so easy from start to finish. We really appreciated his knowledge and professionalism with the installation and all the associated paperwork.
Loadsafe has upgraded our Dethleffs Trend motorhome from GVM 3650 kgs to 4000 kgs. From the time we contacted Bruce at Loadsafe, he was a pleasure to deal with and his correspondence was excellent which made the whole process of upgrading our vehicle very easy. We can highly recommend Bruce for his wealth of knowledge and his efficiency with all the bookwork and certifications. Thank you, Andy & Jo
LoadSafe recently supplied and fitted semi air units to the rear of our 7.4 m heavy chassis Fiat Ducato motorhome. Reason for fitting was to give greater rear end clearance - and the results are fantastic. Not only do we have no clearance issues now, the vehicle travels with almost no rattling thanks to the adjustable pressures available - even over corrugated roads. We are really delighted with the system and Bruce was quick in responses. I highly recommend Bruce and Load Safe.
Loadsafe have upgraded our Auto-Trail Tracker FB motorhome from GVM 3650 kgs to 4000 kgs as we were running 330kgs over with all our gear onboard including water etc. From the time we contacted Bruce at Loadsafe he was a pleasure to deal with and his correspondence was excellent which made the whole process of upgrading our vehicle stress free. I can highly recommend Bruce for his wealth of knowledge and his efficiency with all the bookwork and certifications. Thank you Bruce. David and Gale.
Loadsafe supplied the VB semi air kit for our Fiat Ducato maxi based, Mobilvetta Kea motorhome. Bruce supplied the kit very promptly and did all the paperwork to upgrade our GVM from 4400 kg to 4600 kg. The kit was fitted in Christchurch by Diesel services and they arranged certification. The motorhome ride is much improved.
while I didn't need to upgrade the GVM on our Burstner Lyseo 727. I did want the try to improve the ride of my Fiat Ducato. Bruce responded within hours to my initial query and suggested ways to do this. We followed his advice and first added air suspension to the rear axle. and subsequently replaced the front springs and shock absorbers. Money very well spent with the ride now comparable to a medium size SUV. Thanks Bruce, thrilled with the result.
We purchased an A class motorhome with only 40,000kms on it, but it was terrible to drive. It handled like a pig and felt every bump in the road- it was just exhausting. Bruce fitted airbags to the rear and new Koni shocks with heavy duty springs to the front. Not only does it now sit level it is a completely different vehicle to drive. Bruce made the whole process easy, his advice was spot on and I would recommend him to anyone that has any issues with weight or handling.
Roller Team 747 from a WOF on 3500kgs to a COF on 4000kgs. When I rocked up to the VTNZ in Whangarei brandishing the paperwork forwarded by Bruce 2 weeks later, they couldn't find fault with anything and I drove away with a COF 2 hours later. Mixed feelings about a COF but at least I am legal. Insurance means nothing unless you are legal. Now I can leave home with ebikes, a full tank of water and all her shoes 🙂
Bruce made the process of upgrading our Benimar Tessoro 487 an absolute dream. He supplied the parts and suggested a company in Nelson to fit them.
Loadsafe NZ have upgraded our Autotrail Imala to increase weight capacity to 4000kgs as when at 3500kgs we always ran overweight. We are extremely happy with the results. The ride is smoother and the peace of mind we are legal is fantastic. Bruce gave us excellent advice and his communication skills were fantastic and job completed smoothly along with paperwork to ensure a smooth transition to COF.
We wanted to increase the GVM of our Fiat Ducato Autotrail so that we could carry the gear we wanted without the worry of being overweight. Bruce at Loadsafe recommended fitting VB Semi Air to the rear axle, increasing our GVM to 4000 Kgs. The modification also provides a much smoother and quieter ride which is a very pleasant bonus. Bruce was excellent to deal with and his workmanship is very good. The paperwork provided allowed us to change from WOF to COF, as required without any problems.
Bruce is one of the best communicators we have dealt with in recent years. Right from my first enquiry the very prompt replies to my questions was fantastic. We were looking for a better ride with less crash and banging in the rear of the van. The ride is only marginally better which is a bit disappointing but the stability is greatly improved and where our van tended to under steer it now points into the corners much better. I would give a big thumbs up to Bruce for his service & communication.
Web search revealed few air suspension providers and I have chosen LOAD SAFE. I was impressed by the web site and that continued in contact with Bruce before and during the installation on my PEUGEOT/ BAILEY AUTOGRAPH. Now it carries more, rides smoother and handles better. Bruce’s commitment to customer satisfaction with high level of expertise completed installation and all certification in a day, while I was enjoying super breakfast. Top of the class pro, thanks.
Bruce was very helpful when I made my initial enquiries on our Tessoro 494 and even fitted us in ahead of the scheduled time. The fitting went smooth and easy and the COF issuing went smoothly as well so now I can load up to 4100kg. I was always going to be overweight otherwise. Thanks Bruce. Highly recommend your service
We recently upgraded our Benimar Tessoro 463 suspension through Bruce, to increase our load rating from 3500kg to 4100kg. We consequently operate under a CoF. Now we have peace of mind regarding our loading knowing we're not exceeding our weight limit thereby jeopardising our insurance. Bruce was great throughout and regularly communicated with us during a long Covid delayed process. We would recommend his services to other motorhomers who are considering an upgrade from WoF to CoF.
Bruce upgraded our 2021 Ford Transit Benimar from 3500 to 4100 kgs. The process was easy and thorough, although due to overseas supplier issues (NOT Loadsafe's fault) it took a bit longer than initially anticipated. Very happy with the result, knowing we're all within the legal limits.
Bruce fitted 16inch rims and airbags to increase our GVM from 3500kg to 4000kg on our 2019 Autoroller 747. I was a little apprehensive about submitting the paperwork to VTNZ but it all went through like clockwork and all of a sudden, we're on a COF and hitting the highways! The improvement in suspension is subtle but valuable, especially when cornering.
From my first contact with Bruce, the information he provided was a great help to me to go ahead and have the necessary modifications done to my Fiat Ducato Dethleffs 7057DBM to allow the increase in GVM from 3500 to 4000kg. All necessary compliances he had approved by NZTA and were forwarded to me for upgrade to COF without problems. A pleasure to deal with Bruce and LoadSafe.
I recently upgraded my Tessoro 494 GVM from 3500KGS to 4100 GVM and it was a very easy process working with Bruce at LoadSafe. Everything from my first contact with him to my last, was straight forward and clear .The job was done in the time specified and when the paperwork was couriered to me it was an easy process at VTNZ to upgrade to a COF. I have no hesitation in recommending Bruce at LoadSafe, in fact I have already recommended him to quite a few fellow motorhomers.
I would like to thank Bruce for the excellent job he has done in upgrading my Fiat Ducato motorhome to a 4000kg. As a novice he has lead me through the process to achieve a higher weight capacity and the result is exceptional. The motorhome has a much better ride and now I am able to tow a small vehicle as well. An added bonus has been the ability to level the rear wheels. I would not hesitate to recommend LoadSafe to any future clients. Thanks Bruce
LoadSafe recently fitted airbag suspension to our Burstner Aviano motorhome allowing us to increase the load capacity to 3850 kg. It has given a smoother quieter, drive. Bruce was a great help in deciding what we could/should do, and with his standard of workmanship. We thoroughly recommend LoadSafe.
Recently upgraded by Ford Transit Benimar from 3500 to 4100. Bruce was both helpful and professional and ensured the whole process went smoothly. Loadsafe supplied the upgrade kit to their recommended installer in Christchurch. Costs were exactly as estimated and I'm very satisfied with the completed job.
Amazingly professional service right from the first consultation through to completed job. We had our Fiat Ducato Sinfonia upgraded for extra weight capacity - the back axle. The Motorhome travels so much better now, less road noise which was a surprise and a more comfortable ride. We don’t use our ramps for levelling now, just pump up the back. The paperwork Bruce supplied ensured there was no trouble at VTNZ. Really recommend Bruce at LoadSafe. Very happy with the job.
Our motorhome was partially complaint for the new rating, Bruce had no problem with only selling the required bits to get it to 100%. We had non-compliant (weight-wise) airbags and had new compliant bags fitted. We also had non-complaint steel wheels - Bruce had no problem arranging for just the wheels to be supplied. Have now sold off the steel, and have on-sold the old airbags too. We were borderline compliant on a good day, not so on a fully packed up journey. Happy to be fully complaint now.
LoadSafe recently upgraded our Fiat Ducato GVM to 4800kg and Rear Axle weight to 2700kg. The whole process was painless. Bruce kept us informed of the delays as well as updates regarding delivery of the kit (Covid supply chain issues). A quick trip to Tauranga and the job was done in half a day. HVEC inspection was done at the time. The necessary paperwork arrived, and we registered the upgrade with VTNZ. Very efficient service. I'm glad to say we are now legally within our weight restrictions!
Our Burstner Ixeo 286 was overweight and is on a COF. When I researched what to do I consistently came upon LoadSafe. Rang Bruce and was impressed with the discussion so booked in. I’m very happy with the result. Being able to adjust each side separately is a bonus for levelling and emptying grey water. No longer bottom when going out our drive. And the ride is much smoother. The best thing is that we are now legal. I was expecting some issues at VTNZ Chch but it was very simple, took 10 Mins.
Delighted with the results achieved by Bruce at Loadsafe. Autotrail Imala 730 gone from 3,500kg to 4,000kg and WOF to COF without any problems. I feel whole process has been worth the effort, now on the road feeling safer, legal and able to use the motorhome to its full potential, and cream on the cake insurance company happy.
Very happy that we chose Bruce to upgrade the GVM on our Tessoro 463 to 4100kg. Being legal brings a great piece of mind and as a bonus we think it handles better also. Also good that we only required the rear semi air suspension and didn't need to change wheels or tyres. A simple process both with Loadsafe and VTNZ
Very helpful, very efficient, great communication, and the air suspension works as expected. Thank you.
Just excellent the whole process. Bruce was lovely to deal with from inception to completion.
I was pleased with the efficiency of Bruce from Loadsafe with the installation of the airbag suspension system to my Benimar Tessoro 463. With the weight limit being rated at 3500kg meant it was never going to be legal on a wof because it would always overweight once loaded. I now have peace of mind when on the road. Bruce made the process easy to follow and was an easy change over from a WOF to a COF through NZTA/VTNZ. Thanks
Bruce recently upgraded our Auto Trail Apache 634 from 3650GVM to 4000GVM We were very pleased with the professional job he made of installing the necessary air bags to our rear suspension and we are now legal on the road to travel with no worries regarding payload. Thoroughly recommend Loadsafe - thank you Bruce for a job will done - Graham M
Thanks Bruce, for your time and patience answering my questions, and of course, for the very professional job you did upgrading my Chausson 747GA (Fiat Ducato) to 4,000 GVM. Worth every penny to now have plenty of payload capacity as well as a smoother ride.
LoadSafe upgraded our AutoTrail Delaware, due to the rear axle being over weight. The whole operation was carried out by Bruce and I definitely recommend him to anyone who requires this type of upgrade. Bruce is highly experienced in this field. My GVM has increased by 550kg to 4800kg and rear axle to 2700kg. I'm pretty pleased with this upgrade, the most amazing thing is the whole vehicle rides and handles better. Thanks Bruce I fully recommend you for your expertise, knowledge and workmanship.
I cannot recommend Bruce highly enough. He was extremely helpful when I asked the stupid questions. My experience from start to finish, Bruce was always professional throughout the entire job. Communication and delivery on what we had agreed to be done was completed at a very high standard.
I cannot thank Bruce enough for his prompt advice and guidance throughout, to upgrade our Fiat Ducato Carado T449, GVM of 4000kg with rear axle increase to 2240kg. Living in Christchurch Bruce provided us with local contacts for the install, submitting the resulting paperwork to NZTA for the new chassis rating. The ride is greatly improved as has handling. Well worth the effort overall, not to mention peace of mind in travel and insurance considerations. Thoroughly recommend LoadSafe.
It was a very smooth painless process. A trip to Tauranga (always a nice place to visit), the change over to the uprated rims the previous day, then on to Bruce the next day for the upgrade of the air suspension. Also, the follow up process of submitting the LT400 to the local testing station for the GVM to be upgraded to 4000kg also went smoothly.
Bruce recently upgraded the rear suspension on our Benimar Mileo, with his air assist product. The reason was to increase the GVM to 4000 kgs, but the benefit didn't end there. Our motorhome immediately became a lot quieter, somehow the rattles disappeared. and the ride was more comfortable. From start to finish Bruce was a great guy to deal with and we have no hesitation in recommending both Bruce and his product.
Bruce did a great job with installing air bags to our Fiat. It’s a totally different MH to drive now so much safer & no worries with overloading. Would recommend Bruce to anyone.
Thank you Bruce for a job very well done. Bruce recently upgraded the rear suspension on our Burstner Lyseo. We are very pleased with result and its great to know we now have a greater GVM and a quite noticeably better ride. The communication was always prompt and everything was made very clear from the start. Would have no hesitation in recommending Loadsafe to other motor-homers. Thanks Bruce
I was advised that Bruce was the ‘go to’ guy when it came to RV suspension issues. Needless to say - Bruce was a fountain of knowledge and knew exactly how to remedy the front suspension on my 2016 Fiat Ducato Jayco Optimum. Replacement heavy duty springs supplied and installed by Bruce transformed our ride and driving experience!! Would definitely recommend LoadSafe to any RV’er with ride or loading issues.
We were absolutely thrilled with the efficiency of Bruce with the installation of the airbag suspension system to our Fiat Carado. He made the process easy for us to follow. We wanted to take more Toys with us so the up grade allows us to take the extra weight. It was an easy change over from a WOF to a COF through NZTA/VTNZ. Of course the ride has improved as well. If you want to up grade your vehicle we highly recommend Bruce to do this for you. Thanks Bruce. Peter and Jenny, Marton
I was concerned that the Sunlight Motorhome we had would be overloaded once we packed all our essentials. Bruce then did the work, had it certified, and we were on our way. The improvement in ride is unbelievable especially going from 15 inch to 16 inch wheels. The rear of the vehicle is firm but smooth, the difference was immediately noticed as there was a lot less rattling going on in the cupboards. If you are considering upgrading your motorhome get in touch with Bruce, he is so knowledgeable
We own a Frankia i740+ motorhome and I wanted to install semi air suspension. I contacted Bruce at Load Safe and he was very obliging and helpful. We now have a VB semi air suspension air bag system on the rear axle of our Mercedes Sprinter. The vehicle handles much better on the road being a lot more stable. We are now in the process of upgrading the GVM from 5000 kg to 5500kg.
Bruce recently install air suspension on the rear axle of our Benimar 282. It didn’t need the GMV upgrading as we are already rated at 4400kg. We have found that the suspension gives a lot smoother ride and it’s great for assisting in the levelling the MH when parked on a bit of a slope. We are very pleased with the result and the professional and friendly way in which Bruce carried out the work.
When we recently purchased our Adria 700 Motorhome we were fortunate to be advised that we'd need to get Air Bags fitted & were given Bruce at Loadsafe's contact details . We duly arranged fitment & Bruce got the job completed , including paperwork , in less than 6 hours . Very good service , top class workmanship & a marked improvement in the handling of our Motorhome . I would have no hesitation in recommending LoadSafe for the solving of the overloading problem.
Bruce was so helpful when we discovered that our Benimar Mileo 294 weighed in at 3650 Kg With very little payload and provided the solution to increase to 4000kg He also discovered our towbar was not safe and needed to be removed Thanks Bruce
We were concerned that our Ford Transit could become overweight. A visit to the local weigh station confirmed this was the case. I searched for companies capable of GVM increases and came up with LoadSafe. I spoke with Bruce who was very helpful explaining that semi-air suspension would be necessary. We decided to go with his recommendation and subsequently had it installed. We are now rated at 4,100kg. We fully appreciate Bruce's helpful advice and professional installation.
Our Burstner Elegance i890 was manufactured with a GVM of 5000kg. COF weights indicated we were close to maximum. We contacted Bruce at LoadSafe and he provided us with three options which would enable our vehicle to achieve 5500kg GVM. Bruce not only imported the certified parts required but also the documentation that provided a smooth transaction to achieve our objective. An excellent and prompt service which I recommend to other motorhome owners in a similar situation. Thanks Bruce
We bought our McLoiuis Fusion 373 in May and even on a 3650kg COF the GVM was right on the limit with only two person and our gear. Thankfully Bruce came to the rescue during what were difficult times and now we have a 4,000kg GVM. Bruce is an absolute professional. Thank you Bruce
After going over a weighbridge we discovered our Rollerteam Pegaso 740 had exceeded our GVM & the rear axle was on the manufacturers weight limit. Bruce provided great advice & service when fitting upgraded Air Suspension & certification to increase our payload by 500kgs. Comfort in knowing we are not now overloaded & the ride is a marked improvement. Smoother & more stable. Thanks Bruce, job well done
After finding that our Benimar Tessoro 463 had a very limited payload we investigated options on increasing it. Got referred to Bruce Sutton at Loadsafe NZ. Bruce recommended installing air suspension and Bruce arranged the kit for us. This enabled us to increase our GVM from 3500 to 4100. Although we had to change from a WOF to a COF we feel much more comfortable with our payload and compliance. Bruce is very knowledgeable with the process and helpful in every aspect.
Bruce is great to deal with. Have a Corado T449 which was always overweight, fitted air bags to rear axle and uprated wheels. GVM has now gone from 3500kgs to 4000kgs and handling has improved, also as a bonus nice to be able to lift one side at rear for emptying waste tank. Thanks Bruce for a very professional job.
Bruce was very professional to deal with in installing VB semi air suspension in our Fiat Ducato Benimar Mileo 294 motorhome to allow our GVM to be increased to 4000kg and rear axle weight up to 2250kg. Maybe more importantly the motorhome handles more smoothly, balanced and safely on the road. I can thoroughly recommended the services of LoadSafe for quality work at reasonable price. Jim
Great to be legal on the road. Now 4000kg so got decent payload. No problems at VTNZ & got my hubodometer exemption within hours. Very professional service, recommended.
Whilst researching the dilemma of being over our GVM I came across the LoadSafe website and rang Bruce for a chat. I found him knowledgeable and assisted us to make the decision to fit VB full air suspension, increasing our GVM 500kgs. We knew there would be other benefits to the air suspension, but under estimated how smooth the ride would actually be. What used to be rattles have gone. We used to get sore backsides after an hour the ride was so hard, not now. Well worth the money.
We had original air suspension fitted to our twin rear axle Fiat Ducato Motorhome with an original GVM of 5000 Kgs. Each COF we were marginal on Max weight. Following discussions with Bruce via email, soon determined that our GVM could be increased to 5500 Kgs, with the fitting of an upgraded handbrake lever, which Bruce, was able to supply promptly and was soon fitted. A really great service was provided by Loadsafe, which exceeded my expectations. Well done Bruce.
Very pleased to have used Bruce at Loadsafe to upgrade the weight limit on our Auto Trail Tracker. Being rated at 3500 we were always overweight. With Bruce's guidance the procedure went very smoothly. VTNZ accepted the heavier weight at 4000 without any queries. The ride is improved. We now have peace of mind when on the road. Albie
What a great guy to deal with. Up rated our 294 Benimar to 4000kg with rear airbags and new front springs. Travels way better . Thanks Bruce, job well done
Thanks Bruce for your clear recommendations regarding the GVM up rating for our Fiat/ Benimar motorhome. The recommendation to replace the front spring set, at the same time as the rear air bag installation, has been a major revelation. The ride and handling is so much improved. All the documentation was accepted without question at the Napier VTNZ. We have already recommended the services of Loadsafe to others. Brent
Bruce sorted our Airbag/GVM upgrade to our Ducato - the best part was only spending 5 minutes at VTNZ to collect a new loading cert (Bruce had supplied all the correct paperwork !)
We had our Carado T449 upgraded from 3500 to 4000kg, with rear axle to 2250kg. Bruce was a real rock even helping the (third party) inspector to see the light.
Absolutely best money spent on our Motorhome Bruce is great to deal with and being able to increase rear axle to 2250kg & GVW to 4000kg now means we will not be overloaded ...Easy to fit and sure adds stability to the Motorhome
Had our Benimar 294 upgraded to 4000kg all went very well we now have a gvm of 4000kg. Bruce is good to work with and would highly recommend LoadSafe. (Benimar Mileo 294. GVM increased to 4000 kg, rear axle increased to 2240 kg.)
During a recent trip around the South Island I am impressed with the stability and comfort of the airbags. The increased GVM has enabled us to take the toys without the worry about being overloaded. Thanks Bruce. (RollerTeam 740, GVM increased to 4000kg, rear axle increased to 2240kg)
Have been very impressed with your service completing the GVM increase, and look forward to recommending your services to other friends etc.
I have got the airbags fitted to our motorhome and yes I believe it is money well spent, seems to ride a lot softer although not loaded up properly yet, I have no doubt that it will be about 150% better.Thank you very much for getting them to me so quickly
Just picked up motorhome with (air)bags at 2 bar. Driving comfort is significantly better!
Whilst researching the dilemma of our overweight motorhome I came across the LoadSafe website and rang Bruce for a chat. I found him knowledgeable and assisted us to make the decision to fit Full Air Suspension which would provide another 500kgs to our GVM. We knew there would be other benefits, but under estimated how smooth the ride would actually be. What used to be rattles have gone. Well worth the money and Bruce was there for any questions during the installation which we did ourselves.
Just travelled Mount Maunganui to Taupo, most comfortable pressure 2.5, far superior handling then before, hence travelling faster, thanks for all work and advice. Another very happy customer.
