Knott-Avonride Ltd has announced a ground–breaking automatic adjustment system for auto-reverse brakes that’s set to solve age-old issues in trailer performance experienced by farmers.
In an industry first, this next–generation universal brake system differs to other models on the market due to its unique capability to self–adjust. The system’s automatic action provides smooth braking as well as equal and consistent wear of all brake shoe linings.
In addition, trailers fitted with the new system have further benefits including:
- Enhanced overall performance, putting an end to jerky movements;
- Quicker trailer inspection and servicing, with no need to manually adjust shoe linings;
- Less wear and tear on the towing vehicle and trailer;
- Avoidance of common reversing issues regularly associated with poorly adjusted brakes such as damaged couplings and linkages due to trailer shunting;
- Provides the farmer with peace of mind that the brakes will always be properly adjusted if subjected to a roadside test;
- Faster braking response, consistent braking effect and shorter braking distance.
The system is also available as a retrofit kit on the Knott 200×50 brake that can be easily and quickly installed.
“This exciting innovation dramatically improves the durability and reliability of trailer braking systems with significant performance benefits for trailer owners,” the joint managing director of Knott-Avonride, Phil Holman, said. “Knott has devoted decades to improving brake technology and this latest system really sets the new standard across the industry.
“We are confident that our latest innovation will provide the farming community with many benefits including improvement in overall performance as well as reduced service costs.”
