What is an Automatic Levelling System?
Levels the entire van at the touch of a button — no ramps, no guesswork.
Simplified animation — not to scale.
In plain English
Electric or hydraulic legs lower at each corner of the van and, guided by an onboard sensor, raise or lower themselves independently until the whole vehicle reads level — a huge step up from driving onto ramps and eyeballing a spirit level.
How it works
A tilt sensor tells a small control unit how unlevel the van is on each axis; the unit then extends the correct combination of corner legs (electric ram or hydraulic) until it reads level, holding position with the engine off.
Signs of trouble
- ⚠Legs won't extend — check the fuse and battery voltage before assuming a motor fault
- ⚠Van settles unevenly after apparently levelling — ground may be too soft, use a leg pad
- ⚠One leg noticeably slower than the others — often just needs a clean and light lubrication
Rough UK cost
£1,500 – £4,000 fitted for a full four-corner system.
Ballpark only — depends on your van, converter and local labour rates.
