Details
Memory Level
Programmable trailer height levels to achieve optimum on-the-road efficiency and safety
- Automatically maintains trailer at the level of the loading bay during loading /unloading procedures
- Leverages OptiLevel features to provide 6 programmable height levels
- Driving and loading or unloading levels can be activated using OptiLink, SmartBoard, Remote Control Unit, speed level or a switch on the dashboard
- Improves vehicle stability when travelling at high speeds and while loading or unloading
- Reduces loading and unloading turnaround time at warehouses by eliminating manual adjustment of the trailer height
- Driver can stay comfortably in the cab during bad weather or in dangerous environments
- Trailer builder or service partner can use diagnostic software to pre-program driving levels in the Trailer EBS E
Return to Load Level
Maintains trailer at the level of the loading bay
- Automatically re-adjusts trailer height to the selected ramp level as the weight on the trailer increases or decreases while loading and unloading
- Reaction times can be parameterized to optimize air consumption
- Is one of the six functions of OptiLevel
- Automatic trailer height adjustment allows forklifts to more easily and safely enter and exit the trailer platform
- Eliminates the need to manually lift or lower the chassis height
- Allows the driver to stay safely and comfortably in the truck cabin
Trailer Immobilizer
Secures trailer with unique PIN code locking system
- Protect your trailer with the clean-hand alternative for the king pin lock
- Protects trailers against theft and unauthorized use
- Helps prevent drivers from picking up the wrong trailer
- Activate the lock from the comfort of the truck cabin by using OptiLink smartphone app
- Can be retrofitted with Trailer EBS E Premium version 1.5 (2010) or higher
- Use a simple, one-step process to activate and deactivate the trailer’s spring brakes to lock or release the wheels
Trailer Extension Control
Safely accelerating telescopic trailer extension process
- Automatically locks the telescope and releases the brake after extending the trailer
- The truck can pull the front part of the trailer forward, while the rear part stays locked
- After extending, the trailer is automatically blocked and the brakes released
- Reduces tire damage by keeping front tires of full trailers from scraping over the ground while extending the telescopic trailer
- Requires fewer components compared to other trailer extension solutions
Operating Data Recorder
'Black Box' that records all trailer operating data
- Records data from previous 600 trailer related trips, including speed, axle load, distance, brake wear and RSS events
- Data can be remotely accessed via telematics or at the vehicle via Diagnostics software, SmartBoard, OptiLink or the ODR-Tracker-Software
- Optimizes fleet performance by quickly identifying recurring overload or structural underutilization of trailers
- Optimizes maintenance planning and reduces maintenance costs
- Improves driver safety and efficiency by identifying inappropriate driving behavior based on objective data
- Uses data to build management reports on driver behavior and vehicle utilization
Brake Pad Wear Indicator
Detects and alerts when brake pads need replacement
- Sensors on each brake pad connected to the Trailer EBS trigger an alert when the brake pad wear has reached a limitation of its original pad thickness
- Provides wear status visibility to both drivers (via OptiLink, SmartBoard - or via a warning lamp) and fleet owners (via the TX-TRAILERGUARD web portal or fleet management system)
Service Mind
Alerts drivers on due service intervals on the trailer
- Allows for tracking operating hours of moving components and reminds of service intervals to minimize maintenance costs
- Stores service intervals based on operating hours in the Trailer EBS E memory for key moving components on a trailer
- Alerts driver on the dashboard or on Smartboard when a maintenance interval is reached
- Helps to reduce downtime caused by worn components
- Allows for pre-scheduled maintenance planning
- Can be retrofitted with Trailer EBS E version 2.5 (2012) or higher
Notebook Memory
Vehicle data safeguard to optimize service and support
- Stores key vehicle data – part numbers, vehicle identification data, service history, contact details, invoicing information - in the EBS system memory
- Leverages the diagnostic software. Can also function with imported spreadsheet data
- Ready access to vehicle data allows efficient trailer servicing and reduces downtime
- Data can be displayed in the diagnostic software and exported to a spreadsheet for further analysis
Advanced Multivoltage
Connects 12V and 24V trucks to your trailer without converters
- Enables fleets with a mix of 24V trucks and 12V trucks to operate all trailers in the fleet
- Saves money by eliminating the need for an external power converter between trucks and trailer
- Supports special trailers with multiple EBS modulators to avoid low voltage
- Available from Trailer EBS E version 2 (2011) onwards
Battery Control
Maintains uncoupled trailer functions active
- Activates and powers trailer functions while uncoupled from the truck
- Supports stand-alone battery in the trailer connected to Trailer EBS E
- Battery is automatically activated when the trailer is uncoupled from the truck, providing uninterrupted electric power to Trailer EBS
- Control all TEBS and suspension functions and access to trailer data using the SmartBoard or OptiLink
- Provides auto switch-off as per parameter setting and wake-up by push button
- Can be retrofitted with Trailer EBS E Premium version 2 (2011) or higher
