An apparatus and method for effecting wheelbase adjustment for utility vehicles having one or more axles with wheels, includes one or more adjustment mechanisms to which compressed air can be applied. The adjustment mechanism(s) adjust at least one of the axles in relation to the body of the vehicle. A pressure sensor measures the pressure of the compressed air in the adjustment mechanism(s) and generates corresponding pressure signals. A pulse-controlled valve or, alternatively, a spring-return valve, is employed to optionally feed the compressed air into the adjustment mechanism(s) and discharge the compressed air from the adjustment mechanism(s).
An apparatus for effecting wheelbase adjustment in a vehicle having at least one axle with wheels, said apparatus comprising at least one adjustment mechanism to which compressed air can be applied for adjusting at least one of said at least one axle in relation to a body of said vehicle, a pressure sensor constructed and arranged to measure a pressure of compressed air in said at least one adjustment mechanism and to generate at least one corresponding pressure signal, and a pulse-controlled valve constructed and arranged to feed said compressed air into said at least one adjustment mechanism and to discharge said compressed air from said at least one adjustment mechanism.
