This means that when the trailer is subsequently loaded, it is ready to handle its weight capacity.īecause the new automatic lift axle control functionality is part of the TABS-6 Advanced control software, it can be configured using Bendix ACom diagnostic software or at end-of-line installation. The system’s automatic lift axle control is customizable and can be set to lower the axle automatically when the trailer is parked.

“It prevents the error of overloading a single axle and helps operators avoid the additional tire wear and fuel usage – and possibly extra tolls – associated with running a light load on both axles.” “Bendix TABS-6 Advanced is the brains behind the lift axle, looking at the load and determining whether the weight warrants the use of both axles,” explains TJ Thomas, Bendix Director of Marketing and Customer Solutions, Controls Group. When equipped on a trailer with a lift axle, TABS-6 Advanced monitors the load on the air bags and will raise or lower the axle as required, without needing driver input, based on the trailer’s suspension capacity and legal load limits. Fleets and owner-operators can turn to the flexible and innovative Bendix TABS-6 Advanced trailer roll stability system – now offering automatic lift axle control – to help reduce tire wear and fuel consumption by maintaining proper per-axle weight load.
