Heil standardizes on Haldex TRS; Haldex debuts next generation TRS
Heil Trailer North America has chosen Haldex Trailer Roll Stability as standard on its trailers beginning this summer, according to Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems managers speaking at a press conference during the 2008 Mid-America Trucking Show. Heil Trailer International, a Dover Company, manufactures tank trailers for the transport of petroleum, dry bulk commodities, and specialty products.
The TRS system, built on Haldex's newest 4S/2M ABS platform, provides the next generation of high-performance braking along with roll stability safety technology. TRS is designed for one- to three- or more-axle trailers using an air suspension. The system delivers superior braking performance by adjusting for the trailer conditions during normal and ABS braking events as well as to intervene with active braking if conditions indicate a rollover is imminent.

-
includes a trailer brake lamp illumination during roll event

Integral control port air filter
