Hyundai Translead now offers the Bendix ADB22X-LT from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake.
The Bendix ADB22X-LT, with a 23,000-lb. brake rating, was engineered exclusively for trailers. It weighs in at 40 lbs. per tandem axle lighter than its companion Bendix ADB22X air disc brake, making it the lightest air disc brake available in North America. Lighter wheel ends deliver increased payload capacity and value for trailers, such as refrigerated unit, particularly sensitive to brake weight. Bendix said, adding that lighter-weight wheel ends can also help a fleet significantly improve its overall fuel efficiency.
“The advantages of air disc brakes are well-recognized across the industry, but the trailer market brings a different set of challenges and demands than tractor applications,” said Keith McComsey, director of marketing and customer solutions with Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake. “The ability of the ADB22X-LT to meet those needs, and deliver dependability to fleets and drivers across North America, reflects our commitment to safety while lowering total cost of ownership.”
