Seattle, Washington (October 27, 2021) — CounterRide™ is a revolutionary and economical new suspension technology that proactively senses and responds to vibration and shock events, helping to shield marine, vehicle, and aircraft operators and their vibration-sensitive cargo. In extreme environments—like losing contact with the road or crashing over a wave—the CounterRide™ suspension anticipates the shock event, preemptively expands, and responds with unparalleled protection. CounterRide™ rivals more costly active and semi-active power-driven suspensions, and it exceeds the vibration-reducing capabilities of passive mechanical- and air-driven suspensions. Developed and patented by Suspension Systems Technologies (SST), CounterRide™ performs like no other commercial suspension available today and suspension units are available for evaluation.
Companies that employ marine, vehicle and aircraft operators are familiar with the impact of low back pain—the single most common occupational injury in the United States costing billions of dollars annually. Low back pain is often associated with exposure to vibration, shocks and impacts—and the resulting injuries can substantially impact the cost of insurance and health claims. Higher-performing, low-cost suspension solutions are needed to protect marine, vehicle and aircraft operators from injury, to protect vibration-sensitive cargo from damage, and to improve worker well-being and help enhance productivity and profitability.
Current suspension solutions have not sufficiently evolved to meet the challenge of adequately protecting marine, vehicle, and aircraft operators and the vibration-sensitive cargo that they transport. Active and semi-active suspension solutions are costly and require power-driven controls. While more affordable, most commercially-available passive suspension solutions simply do not perform well.
Enter CounterRide™—a truly unique new suspension solution. It is the only passive suspension in the world that mitigates shocks and stabilizes the payload by moving the operator or cargo in the opposite direction of the terrain—mirroring and eliminating the terrain’s undulations. The elegant horizontal shock absorber, cam and interconnected lever arms of CounterRide™ eliminate the transmission of almost all upward and downward vibrations and movements without the cost and maintenance headaches of motors, sensors, or electronics. CounterRide™ delivers the performance of active and semi-active power-driven suspensions, at a fraction of the cost.
SST plans to design and license its low-profile and adaptable CounterRide™ suspension technology to interested manufacturers and OEMs. SST also has the capability to fabricate evaluation suspensions and seats for targeted vehicle and marine applications.
