Trailer lift axle system
MeritorWabco has added an automatic trailer lift axle
control system to its SmartTrac portfolio of stability control
systems to monitor suspension load and manage lift axles on
\ZIQTMZ[NWZÆMM\[\PI\ZML]KMTWILNZMY]MV\TaL]ZQVOU]T\QXTM
deliveries to help reduce fuel costs, tire wear, vehicle down-
time and labor and maintenance costs while also increasing
wheel-end and brake life. The system integrates with the
company's trailer roll stability support and anti-lock braking
systems and can control multiple trailer lift axles that can be
lowered automatically when the trailer is parked; a manual
switch can be added.
