The SABO shock absorber has been manufactured in our factories since the 1970s. SABO products, manufactured and tested in our two factories in Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, are certified according to ISO 9001. Shock absorbers are available in stock for immediate delivery.
The SABO range includes more than 1,000 continuously updated codes and includes shock absorbers for trucks and trailers, cabin shock absorbers, shock absorbers for buses, trains, trams and metros, for agricultural and industrial applications, customised shock absorbers on request and for special vehicles.
The experience gained over the years has made SABO commercial vehicle shock absorbers among the most valued for reliability, safety, comfort and durability.
Shock absorbers for trucks
SABO spare parts guarantee excellent driving comfort, road safety and reduce downtimes thanks their exceptional, long-lasting strength.
In addition to their technical advantages, SABO shock absorbers have an excellent price/quality ratio and include a complete range of items, designed for all the most common makes and models of truck. A comprehensive commercial vehicle catalogue, which now includes more than a thousand types of shock absorber, ensures the Roberto Nuti Group is able to meet the modern performance, safety and comfort needs of customers in over 80 countries.
Shock absorbers for trailers and semi-trailers
SABO produces a wide range of shock absorbers for trailers and semi-trailers that guarantee easier towing of the trailer even on uneven road surfaces and greater safety with regard to road holding.
SABO shock absorbers combined with SABO air springs ensure the protection of the transported goods and the vehicle itself, increased vehicle grip and stability, and excellent ground adhesion.
Shock absorbers for buses
SABO shock absorbers for buses ensure high levels of comfort and safety for drivers and passengers alike; moreover, in combination with air springs, they keep the vehicle balanced at all times regardless of load, a must for these vehicles.
SABO shock absorbers are designed and built to meet a wide range of needs in various urban and long-distance transport sectors, making them suitable for any load or route.
Cabin shock absorbers
SABO cabin shock absorbers are essential for drivers’ safety . They offer a smoother and more comfortable ride isolating the cab from the frame and provide a better working environment.
Shock absorbers for trains, trams and metro systems
We obtained the UNI EN 15085-2:2008 certification for welding processes for the design and manufacture of rail vehicles and their components at the beginning of June 2020. This is a prerequisite for being able to supply our products in a sector such as rail transport. SABO shock absorbers guarantee passenger comfort and vehicle safety.
In order to guarantee the safety and long-lasting quality of our shock absorbers, production takes place under the strict control of the Quality Assurance department, and makes use of high-level equipment such as welding robots, digital screwdrivers and final inspection machines.
The production of SABO shock absorbers covers many applications in the railway sector, specifically we produce:
- vertical shock absorbers for primary and secondary suspension
- horizontal shock absorbers for secondary suspension
- dampers with single or dual calibration (differentiated or stroke dependent calibration)
- fields of application: shunting locomotives, locomotives, electric trains, railway carriages
Agricultural applications
Tractors and their drivers undergo strain and stress on a daily basis on account of having to drive over rough, challenging terrain. SABO shock absorbers help reduce that stress, enhancing driving comfort and safety.
For the agricultural sector, SABO produces not only spare parts but also original equipment in cooperation with vehicle manufacturers.
The SABO shock absorbers production covers the following applications in the agricultural sector:
- vertical shock absorbers for axle suspension
- horizontal shock absorbers for steering axles
- shock absorbers for cab suspension with or without suspension
- spring vertical or horizontal dampers for sprinkler arms (sprayers)
- shock absorbers for semi-damper
- modules for forestry grapple.
Custom/special vehicle shock absorbers
The SABO factory in Vicchio del Mugello designs, validates and manufactures shock absorbers for original equipment in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers. On request, it also develops and builds shock absorbers for special applications such as industrial washing machines, dodgems, military vehicles, fire-fighting vehicles and off-road vehicles.
Key customers include manufacturers of road vehicles and vehicles for agriculture and various special applications.
The factory is certified ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO EN 15085 (welding).
Design work is done on CAD and FEM systems, with designers working closely with customers’ Technical Offices.
Project validation is performed according to the customer’s test specifications or in compliance with internal SABO specifications, with final certification of the product’s hydraulic characteristics carried out on an MTS test machine.
