INSTALLATION

Investing in a Redfoot Levelling MAXI system will bring years of added enjoyment and improved lifestyle with your mobile Vehicle. The system prices are set out above. In addition to the system prices will have freight costs that will depend on where you live, but generally ranges between $100 to $150. The Redfoot Levelling MAXI systems are delivered in environmentally friendly packaging that is boxed and placed on a skid (half pallet). This ensures every system is well protected during shipping.

The Redfoot Levelling MAXI system can be DIY installed provided there is a high level of mechanical skill and access to a mechanical workshop with a suitable hoist. We provide a comprehensive installation manual to assist in the fitment process.

We highly recommend the installation to be done by one of our Redfoot Levelling Authorised installers. We have over 50+ Redfoot Levelling installers across Australia that can assist making your concern of installation distant memory.  Installation costs can range from $2000 at the low end and up to $4000 at the high end, sometime higher depending on the complexity of your chassis and body builders guide lines requirements. The reason for this variation range is; firstly different installers have different cost structures depending on their workshop rental costs and over heads, sometime influenced by their location. Secondly not all installations are the same, for example the location of the hydraulic pump pack can be installed in an existing storage compartment. This would be the most cost effective for installation, however if the owner does not want the pump pack located in a storage compartment then it can be located between the chassis. This change will require extra work to fabricate a customized mounting bracket and protective cover and accordingly leading to extra costs. Best thing is to talk with your installer about the installation cost.
