Product detailed description
AL-KO Octagon Plus axle shock absorber
The original red AL-KO Octagon Plus axle shock absorber is specially designed for AL-KO axles, with damping characteristics optimised for the trailer’s weight category.
Unlike universal shock absorbers designed for a very wide range of loads, the Octagon Plus is tuned to match the characteristics of the axle. It effectively reduces unwanted trailer oscillation and bouncing when travelling over uneven surfaces.
Red version for up to 2,000 / 3,500 kg
AL-KO uses colour coding to distinguish the weight categories of its Octagon shock absorbers. The red Octagon Plus version 244086 is designed for:
- single-axle trailers – up to 2,000 kg
- tandem-axle trailers – up to 3,500 kg
The green and blue AL-KO Octagon Plus shock absorbers are designed for lower weight categories. The black AL-KO Octagon Compact is intended for even higher loads. Choosing a shock absorber that matches the trailer’s weight category is important for optimum damping performance.
AL-KO Octagon shock absorber weight categories
AL-KO identifies Octagon shock absorbers by trailer weight category using colour coding. Each version has a damping characteristic optimised for the corresponding load.
| Version | AL-KO | 1 axle | 2 axles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Octagon Plus | 244084 | up to 900 kg | up to 1,600 kg |
| Blue Octagon Plus | 244085 | up to 1,350 kg | up to 2,700 kg |
| Red Octagon Plus | 244086 | up to 2,000 kg | up to 3,500 kg |
| Black Octagon Compact | 244087 | up to 4,000 kg | up to 7,500 kg |
The values shown are the maximum gross trailer weights for each version according to AL-KO. A shock absorber from a higher weight category is not automatically more suitable for a lighter trailer. For correct operation, choose a version that matches the weight and construction of the axle.
Improved trailer stability
Axle shock absorbers reduce chassis oscillation and wheel bounce when travelling over uneven surfaces. A correctly selected AL-KO Octagon Plus shock absorber helps to provide:
- greater driving stability
- greater stability when braking
- better tyre contact with the road
- reduced trailer oscillation and bouncing
- more comfortable trailer handling while driving
AL-KO Octagon Plus design
The shock absorber uses articulated mounting eyes with rubber bushes. The design allows installation at an angle of up to 5° without unwanted tension and with low bush wear.
AL-KO uses high-quality seals, overload protection, a chrome-plated sintered-metal valve, a finely machined piston rod, dust protection between the inner and outer tubes, and special shock absorber oil.

Original AL-KO part
When replacing shock absorbers, we recommend fitting two shock absorbers of the same type and weight category on each axle. Before ordering, check the axle type, the trailer’s maximum weight and the design of the mounting points.
