SAMM has developed a wide range of suspension systems for tracked and wheeled armoured vehicles.

SAMM mass produces twin-cylinder hydropneumatic suspensions for the Giat Industries Leclerc MBT now in service with the French Army and the United Arab Emirates, including hydraulic or mechanical bump stops. By mid-1999 well over 5,000 had been built. Each Leclerc MBT has six hydropneumatic suspension units each side while the Leclerc armoured recovery vehicle has seven.

The company is now developing new products for application in the next century which include microprocessor damping devices and composite damping systems.

In addition to the suspensions described below, SAMM also designed and produced the hydraulic suspension system for the Giat Industries 155 mm TR towed artillery system now in service with Cyprus, France and Saudi Arabia.
