Big truck braking systems in our inventory are engineered for safety and reliability, combining advanced technology with robust construction. Standard configurations include dual-circuit air braking systems with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). The tractor’s braking system features 24-inch diameter brake drums lined with semi-metallic friction material, capable of generating 18,000 N·m of braking torque per axle. Trailer braking is managed via a proportional control valve, ensuring synchronized braking between the tractor and trailer to prevent jackknifing. For heavy-haul applications (gross combination weight > 60 tons), optional engine exhaust brakes (capable of 2,500 N·m retarding torque) and hydraulic retarders are available to reduce brake fade during long descents. All braking systems are certified to ECE R13/09 standards and undergo dyno testing to ensure consistent performance across temperature ranges (-40°C to +80°C). Maintenance-free air dryers and automatic slack adjusters minimize downtime, with brake linings designed for 200,000 km service life under normal operation.
