Advanced performance in a flexible package
It's a fact… rollovers are an issue that can impact every North
American fleet. They are expensive – not only in terms of safety and
property impacted – but also in downtime, productivity, customer
satisfaction and fleet reputation. The Bendix

TABS-6 Advanced MC
stability system for trailers delivers a flexible solution that works for a
variety of fleet needs – from 2S/2M through 6S/3M requirements – on
full and semi-trailers. This dynamic system will intervene automatically
when detecting conditions that may lead to a trailer rollover – typically
before the driver realizes an intervention is needed.

Improving safety improves the bottom line
Most people don't think of a safety system as contributing to the
bottom line. However, when you consider the costs of accident related
vehicle damage, downtime, clean-up, etc…it's easy to see how it does.
Every dollar saved through incident reduction goes directly to the
bottom line – a $100,000 accident means a fleet operating on a 5%
margin has to grow revenue by $2 million to cover the lost profit.
Simply preventing one accident can often cover the cost of installing
TABS-6 Advanced MC on every trailer in a large fleet.

Most of the key system components – two modulators, the lateral
acceleration sensor, and the ECU – are efficiently housed in an
environmentally-protected central modular unit. Only the wheel speed
sensors are external – keeping wire and hose connections to a
minimum. (In a 6S/3M configuration, the third modulator is also
externally located.) A locking connector cover that provides a second
line of defense against water and road grime, helps deter tampering,
ensuring the system is available when rollover intervention is required.

Plus, the Bendix TABS-6 Advanced MC roll stability system can work
with a variety of trailer electrical requirements – from 8 volts to 32
volts – without a separate power converter. And, custom applications,
such as automatic trailer axle air-suspension control, are also available.

Maintenance for the system is no more than that of a standard trailer
ABS system. Components are replacement only, which means no need
for repairs. Diagnostics are simple, using PLC communication with

Adding stability to your fleet is an easy retrofit!
Our system can be easily retrofitted to a fleet's existing trailers with
ABS, and added to trailers without ABS. By upgrading their trailers with
the TABS-6 Advanced MC roll stability system, fleets get the added
functionality of a roll-stability system on their equipment. For any fleet,
adding trailer stability delivers an additional measure of safety in their
operations.

Here's How It Works…
The Bendix
®
TABS-6 Advanced MC
™
trailer stability system
continuously monitors a variety of trailer parameters with sensors
to determine if the trailer is reaching a critical stability threshold.
When such a situation develops, the system will quickly
and automatically intervene to assist the driver by
applying the trailer brakes to mitigate a potential rollover.
