Roadlink to distribute AL-KO shock absorbers

Roadlink International is pleased to announce that it has added the AL-KO shock absorber range to its product portfolio of commercial vehicle brake and suspension components.

As the European leader in the manufacture of original equipment trailer shock absorbers, AL-KO is specified by some of the most demanding OEMs, such as Schmitz, Weweler, SAF Holland, Iveco and Renault.

The brand uses the same manufacturing processes and standards for the aftermarket as it does for its growing OE customer base.

Roadlink will stock a full range of AL-KO shock absorbers, which provide a number of benefits including: ‘Virtually unbreakable’ construction; a special sealing system to minimise the chance of oil leaks, thereby significantly extending service life and a weight-saving and durable plastic outer cover.

With the complete AL-KO CV range available to cross-reference on TecDoc and in the Roadlink online catalogue, customers can also efficiently locate the correct product for a specific vehicle.

The introduction of AL-KO follows swiftly on from Roadlink’s launch of a new brake caliper remanufacturing facility at its site in the West Midlands. By adding AL-KO to its extensive range and comprehensive shock absorber offering, customers will now benefit from a much wider choice, greater availability, competitive pricing and a market leading three-year warranty.

Keith Sedgley, Roadlink joint managing director, said: “The addition of AL-KO shock absorbers to our range emphasises our commitment to bringing the best quality products to distributors and end users in the commercial vehicle market. Already, the extensive support we are able to offer customers, alongside the three year warranty, has proven extremely attractive for parts distributors looking for an OE quality product range, backed up by Roadlink’s highly regarded customer service.”

Roadlink’s distribution and remanufacturing processes are audited and approved to ISO9001 & ISO14001 standards, which combined with its Investor In People status, demonstrates the company’s ethos of quality from production to sales.
