“Due to reduced stopping distance requirements, air disc brakes are growing in popularity for both fleets and owner operators,” says Ian Shackleton, TSE Brakes director of North American OEM sales and marketing.
“Fleets are also interested in air disc brakes for their safety performance and their potential for reduced maintenance requirements. To meet this market need, TSE Brakes is providing a premium product, the UL-Disc, that features an industry best warranty of up to 7 years.”
TSE says benefits of the UL-Disc actuators include:
