According to Dayton Parts, the Gen2 elec- tronic control unit (ECU) offers exceptional trailer monitor- ing, control and advanced communication activities with the incorporation of an industry-fi rst WiFi access point that sends diagnostics to any mobile device. Gen2 is available as a 2S/1M single-channel system or a 4S/2M multi-channel system to cover a variety of trailer ap- plications. Dayton Parts says the ECU can be used on existing Meritor WABCO ABS platforms and is covered by a three-year warranty.

Driver comfort, spray suppression tools Minimizer has expanded its Fast Flaps product line and intro- duced a brand-new truck mattress for over-the-road drivers. The company's Fast Flaps' expansion is a mounting bracket for standard tractors and trailers and was designed to accom- modate Fast Flaps on all major truck and trailer applications. Minimizer says the carbon steel and powder-coated black bracket attaches to a frame using multiple slotted holes com- monly found on most pieces of equipment. Minimizer says the mattress is made using 100 percent natural, organic latex foam. Unlike memory foam, which retains body heat and conforms around your body, Minimizer says latex offers breathability and buoyancy, regulating body temperature during sleep and reacting instantly to sleeping position changes. It is backed with a lifetime guarantee.
