Asimo, based in Owen unter Teck, has introduced the Ewolift hydraulic support system for caravans. The system uses four supports mounted on steel crossbars between the chassis longitudinal beams and does not require additional axle-mounted rams for lateral tilt compensation. The supports, called elephant trunks, have a horizontal kinematics: the hydraulic cylinder operates in tension, which reduces hydraulic fluid demand and eliminates harmful torque forces in the frame. Lifting height is 550 to 850 mm, installation height is 100 to 140 mm. The system weighs 65 to 70 kg and starts at 3,700 euros. Base and premium versions are available; premium versions can be upgraded with a scale and smartphone remote control. Asimo works with over 30 service and installation partners across Europe.
