Features that include auto lift axle control and tire inflation data management have been added to the Rollover Stability Support (RSS) 1M trailer stability control system from Meritor WABCO. The recently released two-sensor, one-modulator system that provides both ABS and trailer stability control in a single unit, according to the company, now has the additional benefit of being able to link with a variety of trailer components.

The new features for controlling and monitoring ancillary trailer components were previously available on the company’s RSS 2M system, which has been available to fleets for nine years. The added automatic lift axle control system will raise and lower the lift axle based on the load of the trailer. Retrofit kits for RSS 1M are now also available to support air and spring suspension systems.
