2 x AL-KO Red Octagon Shock Absorbers – Caravan Axle Dampers 601206

The AL-KO Red Octagon Shock Absorber Kit (Part No. 601206) is a genuine axle suspension upgrade designed to enhance ride comfort, towing stability and handling for caravans and trailers fitted with AL-KO Euro-style axles (1994 onwards). The red-coded Octagon shock absorbers are intended for heavier single-axle loads (1301 kg – 1800 kg) and tandem axle setups (2501 kg – 3500 kg) when two sets are installed.

This kit helps reduce axle bounce, vibration and road shock transmitted into the caravan body, resulting in a smoother towing experience and improved contact with the road surface.

Why Choose These Shock Absorbers?

• 🚐 Enhanced Ride Comfort & Towing Stability – Dampens heavy axle movement and reduces bounce over uneven surfaces.

• 🔄 Improved Handling & Road Contact – Helps maintain better ground control under load.

• 🛠 Genuine AL-KO Suspension Component – Built for AL-KO Euro axles (1994 onwards).

• 📦 Complete Retrofit Kit – Includes two shock absorbers with mounting brackets, nuts and bolts for installation.

Key Features & Specifications

What’s Included

How It Works

1. Fit the shock absorbers to your caravan’s AL-KO axle using the supplied brackets and hardware.

2. The internal damping mechanism absorbs and smooths axial movement during towing.

3. Resulting in reduced bounce, vibration and shock transmitted into the caravan body.

This improved damping action increases driver confidence, particularly on uneven roads and at higher touring speeds.

Who It’s For

Upgrading to the AL-KO Red Octagon Shock Absorbers makes a tangible difference in towing dynamics — smoothing the ride, reducing harsh jolts and enhancing road contact under load. Because these are engineered specifically for AL-KO suspension systems, they deliver reliability and performance matched to your caravan’s chassis specifications.

Compatibility & Installation Tips

• Designed for Euro-axle caravans (1994 and newer).
