New videos are now online on the AL-KO Italia YouTube channel,
illustrating the operation and benefits of AL-KO and E&P hydraulic levelling jacks,
developed for motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and caravans.
AL-KO and E&P Hydraulics hydraulic levelling jacks allow the vehicle to be levelled fully automatically, with millimetric precision and in just a few minutes, guaranteeing a perfect stop in any ground condition.
The 100% hydraulic technology, the clean installation with no internal encumbrance, the zero maintenance and the possibility of integrating the weighing function with a dedicated app make these solutions the most advanced and versatile on the market.
With a wide range of models – from the compact LevelC for caravans to the sophisticated LevelM Pro and HY4 for motorhomes and 4x4 vans – AL-KO now offers the ideal answer for every type of vehicle and requirement. Here are the main differences between the products.
AL-KO HY4 – Top-level stability and comfort for motorhomes
AL-KO’s HY4 system represents the most advanced standard for medium and large motorhomes. It can be installed on AL-KO AMC chassis or on vehicles based on the FIAT Ducato, Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (including VS30), up to 6 tonnes maximum capacity.
The HY4 is the only system to feature four independent hydraulic units, each with its own pump and dedicated tank, mounted directly on the chassis. This architecture completely eliminates the central tank and long hydraulic circuits, resulting in simpler installation, better weight distribution and no loss of internal space in the vehicle.
The system automatically levels the motorhome in under a minute and, thanks to the integrated tilt sensor, checks whether the chosen position allows for correct levelling. Users can also select three preset positions – automatic levelling, tank emptying and rest – to make daily operations easier and preserve the tyres during storage periods.
Why choose it:
- Specifically designed for motorhomes with an AL-KO or compatible chassis
- Modular, fully external structure: no internal encumbrance
- Optimal weight balancing and no maintenance required
- Optional weighing function via app, to check the load before every trip
- Precise, fast and safe automatic system, even on uneven ground
E&P LevelM Pro, comfort and reduced weight for vans and low-profile motorhomes
E&P LevelM Pro is the lightest hydraulic levelling system in its category, weighing just 56 kg, designed for low-profile motorhomes, motorhomes and vans based on the FIAT Ducato, Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Ford Transit. It will soon also be available for the MAN TGE and VW Crafter.
While maintaining the robustness and precision typical of E&P systems, the LevelM Pro has been designed for vehicles with a reduced payload margin, where every kilogram counts.
The system is fully automatic and controlled via an internal touch panel, which allows the user to select automatic levelling or two other preset positions (tank emptying and rest).
The independent dual-pump technology and brushless motors guarantee quiet operation free from chassis torsion, improving component durability. All the electronic controls are housed in a sturdy external casing, well protected from water, debris and dirt.
The weighing function is available as an option, currently compatible with the FIAT Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit, and soon also with the MAN TGE and VW Crafter.
Another benefit is the ability to update the software online, without having to visit a workshop for assistance.
Why choose it:
- Extremely reduced weight: just 56 kg
- Suitable for motorhomes and vans with limited payload
- Fully automatic and quiet system
- Remote updates and optional weighing function
- Stable, fast and safe support, even on uneven ground
E&P LevelM Pro 4x4, stability off-road too
Designed for adventure lovers, the LevelM Pro 4x4 is the version dedicated to off-road and all-wheel drive vehicles, particularly vans based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VS30 4x4 chassis.
The system uses extra-long hydraulic cylinders with a useful stroke of 280 mm (compared to the standard 140 mm) to compensate even for steep gradients and uneven ground.
Operation is fully automatic: just one button is needed to level the vehicle in a few minutes, quietly and precisely.
As with the standard LevelM Pro, the weighing function here also allows the load on each axle to be monitored, improving weight distribution – a crucial aspect for 4x4 vehicles, which face much higher stresses on the chassis and suspension.
Why choose it:
- Dedicated to 4x4 vans and off-road motorhomes (Sprinter VS30 4x4)
- Long-stroke hydraulic cylinders (280 mm) for maximum travel and stability
- Automatic levelling with a quiet, durable hydraulic system
- Optional weighing function to balance loads and reduce wear
- Ideal for those seeking comfort when stopping, even after an off-road route
E&P LevelC, dedicated to single-axle and twin-axle caravans
The E&P by AL-KO LevelC system is specifically designed for
caravans with a single or double axle, up to 3.5 tonnes total weight.
It is the only system in the range dedicated to non-motorised vehicles, capable of guaranteeing complete automatic levelling in just a few minutes.
The LevelC uses six hydraulic jacks: two mounted on the axle and four AL-KO Big Foot jacks fixed to the corners of the chassis. This configuration ensures stable, torsion-free support, thanks to an algorithm that controls the pressure at each point.
The additional weight is minimal – around 20 kg – and installation can also be carried out at a later date, on almost all single or twin-axle chassis. Furthermore, once levelled, the caravan can no longer be moved easily, acting as a mechanical anti-theft device.
Why choose it:
- Designed exclusively for caravans up to 3.5 t
- Six hydraulic jack system for stable, even support
- Reduced weight (20 kg) and can also be installed after purchase
- Integrated anti-theft function
- Automatic or manual levelling via panel, remote control or app
