Air Brakes for tractors?
As tractors and trailers get heavier and travel at higher speeds, efficient braking is becoming more important.
Air brakes deliver the powerful, controllable fail-safe braking that is required by modern road safety laws and regulations.
Adding air brakes to an existing machine is a great way to boost its value and to keep it in step with a modern fleet of tractors, towed implements and trailers.
Air Brakes for Trailers
What makes air brakes for trailers essential? Modern trailers are being built to carry more weight, and at ever higher speeds. Widespread use of commercial axles means that larger brakes are now often fitted, however many trailers are still supplied with antiquated hydraulic brake actuation.
Without the power to brake the trailer effectively this leads to long stopping distances and a trailer that doesn’t comply with road regulations. On top of this, the extra load placed on the tractor brakes can be huge, leading to overheating and premature wear. A system without load sensing will never have the correct brake force which risks locking and jack-knife when empty or insufficient braking when full.
