    AL-KO HY2: Functionality, safety and comfort on two steady legs

    New hydraulic levelling support system available from spring 2020 – ideal for vans

    AL-KO HY2 makes supporting a motorhome automatically on the axle effortless. Like the tried and tested, fully automatic HY4 levelling support system, the ‘little brother’ also impresses with perfect vehicle support, maximum operating safety and anti-theft protection. At the same time, the AL-KO HY2 has a significantly lower weight and represents a cost-effective alternative to the system with four steady legs. Retrofitting to HY4 is possible without any problems. AL-KO will present the new HY2 for the first time at CMT Stuttgart in January 2020.
