THE SOLUTION IS Electronic Brake Inspection

Truck Trailer Transit Inc. has taken the guesswork out of determining whether air brakes are in or out of adjustment. Electronic Brake Inspection  is a state of the art, simple and highly effective electronic brake stroke travel indicator gauge mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. It displays to the driver the condition of the brakes through simple, Green, Yellow, and Red LEDS each time the brakes are applied.

Green: indicates the Air Brakes are operating within the DOT specified travel limits.

Yellow: indicates that the Air Brakes are nearing the maximum travel limits and have approximately 1/8^th inch of travel left before they reach the DOT maximum travel limits.

Red indicates that the Air Brakes have reached or are exceeding the maximum travel limits permitted by the DOT and are in VIOLATION!

No lights illuminated indicate a fault somewhere in the foundation brake system. (See diagnostic capabilities)

Electronic Brake Inspection  WILL SAVE FLEETS THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF SHOP TIME AS A DIAGNOSTIC AID WHEN TROUBLE SHOOTING FAULTS IN THE FOUNDATION BRAKE SYSTEM!
 

Electronic Brake Inspection  WILL IDENTIFY: worn, defective, or seized automatic and manual slack adjusters, or slack adjusters that have not been set up correctly.

Electronic Brake Inspection  WILL IDENTIFY: leaking diaphragms where air leaks may not be detectable, weak or broken emergency brake springs and cracked or out of round brake drums!

Electronic Brake Inspection PROMOTES BALANCED BRAKING: extending tire and tread life, reducing the potential for accidents, jackknife situations and associated risk.
