Capus adds value with air springs and kingpins
Capus (UK) Ltd specialises in the supply of technical and safety critical parts for trucks, trailers, buses and coaches, as well as for the marine, agricultural, military and industrial sectors.

The company offers an extensive range of Vibracoustic original equipment (OE) air springs for the UK and Ireland commercial vehicle aftermarket.
German-owned manufacturer Vibracoustic’s aftermarket range comprises over 800 part numbers, serving OE and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide, with OE fitment on Mercedes, DAF, BPW, Iveco, MAN and more.
Highlighted benefits include reliable performance, technical support, product availability and competitive prices.
“Capus recognises the importance of providing the CV aftermarket with safety-critical components of the highest quality, which is reflected in its decision to bring the Vibracoustic brand of air springs to market,” the company said.
“Aimed at the commercial vehicle (CV), truck and bus, agricultural and industrial sectors, the Vibracoustic comprehensive product range includes more than 800 cab, seat and suspension air spring solutions for popular applications.
“Vibracoustic air springs ensure safety, quality and comfort in vehicles as they are specially designed to provide constant levelling.
“With large stocks of popular part numbers held centrally in our Midlands-based warehouse, customers can rely on Capus to deliver without compromise.”
The company has also recently announced the launch of its own line of trailer kingpins – designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom.
“This marks a major step forward not only for Capus but for British manufacturing in the aftermarket sector,” said the firm.
“Capus brings a vital component of trailer safety and reliability.
The new range of kingpins promises to meet the highest industry standards for durability, performance, and compliance. Available in multiple sizes and configurations, Capus’s kingpins are compatible with a wide variety of HGV trailers.
Traditionally, trailer kingpins have been imported from overseas manufacturers, says the firm, adding that its decision to bring production to the UK reflects a strategic commitment to improving supply chain resilience and reducing lead times for fleet operators and trailer builders.
“We’ve listened to our customers,” said a spokesperson.
“Fleet operators and trailer manufacturers want faster turnaround times, tighter quality control, and local support. By manufacturing kingpins here in the UK, we can offer all of that – and more – without compromising on quality or compliance.”
