Reinforced shock absorbers from Marquart Germany
for historic commercial vehicles
Historic commercial vehicles as cultural heritage
Classic cars and historic commercial vehicles are part of our cultural heritage. Not just for museums and classic car clubs, but also for advertising, as an investment, or – last but not least – simply for the fun of it. This sector is enjoying growing popularity. Who doesn’t smile when they come across one of these rare giants?
Whether it’s modern classics or classic cars, the restoration and preservation of historic commercial vehicles is usually a major challenge. Spare parts for old, second-hand commercial vehicles are hard to come by, and technical information on chassis components is often no longer available. For you, as our customer, this is no longer a problem. All we need from you are the dimensions of the fitted dampers, the mounting dimensions and your requirements for chassis performance.
We will then find the right shock absorber for you from our extensive stock. In the case of very rare shock absorbers, we may need to alter the mounting or adapt them using bespoke CNC-machined sleeves, bushings or washers. As a rule, custom-made items are on their way to you within 24 hours.
Beneficial for other chassis components
Among other things, this results in improved handling. And, last but not least, it can help you regain those few centimetres in height that you may have lost over the years. This makes expensive bespoke solutions unnecessary. The performance of our dampers is just as impressive as our prices.
You’ll be delighted by the new handling of your classic car. “As if on a string,” writes the owner of the Mercedes 1017 pictured above. Whether it’s a food truck, a converted refrigerated van or expedition vehicle projects based on historic cars – raised or lowered, comfortable or sporty: we can provide you with any option.
Reinforced shock absorbers for classic commercial vehicles of all brands
We stock shock absorbers for the full range of vintage commercial vehicle makes. From the Borgward B611 to the MAN G90, via the MAN Transporter 12.170, right through to the MAN KAT. We have shock absorbers in stock for all models. For example, for classic Mercedes lorries, ranging from the T1 ‘Bremer’ panel van, through the Vario and ‘Düsseldorfer’, right up to the ‘New Generation’ (NG) Mercedes lorries.
We get old Iveco lorries, such as the 90-16 AW, back on the road just as we do with old Buessing buses, Setra-Kässbohrer vehicles, and even double-deckers from Berlin or London. Magirus Deutz commercial vehicles or more unusual models such as Mack Trucks, Tatra lorries or Leyland Daf can perform with renewed vigour thanks to our shock absorbers.
