MagneRide Suspension Specification Example for City Buses: Folding Type
MagneRide Suspension Specification Example for City Buses: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for magneride suspension in a folding type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The folding type version exists because the duty cycle on city buses is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.
Example specification

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Forged Aluminium, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- laser cutting
- die casting
- sintering
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for city buses. Related applications include boat trailers, utility trailers, camper conversions, dealership service, construction equipment.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
