Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems announces the addition of the ILAS E Air Suspension Valve, which can control the position of the lift axles through an electrical connection. A 12V power supply is needed to keep the lift axles in the raised position, and when power is removed via an electrical switch, the lift axles will be lowered automatically. When coupled with the Haldex TRS System, the lift axles can be controlled to raise and lower automatically as the air suspension reacts to changing loads in the trailer. The ILAS E / TRS System can be adjusted to react at various pressure conditions making the system versatile for single or multiply lift axle trailers, its maker said.

The ILAS E simplifies the lift axle system with four push-to-connect fittings and a standard DIN electrical connection. Traditional lift axles systems are often complex with multiple components and numerous fittings. The Haldex design combines all the functionality into an easy to use system, the company said.

The lift axle will raise or drop automatically with vehicle unloading or loading. This can provide operational savings to the end user because the lift axle and wheels are not subjected to wear when the vehicle is empty .
