Key Benefits

The primary advantage of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)—a standard feature on every NACPC chassis—is its ability to prevent brake lock-up, giving you a better chance to steer out of trouble. ABS does this by using a computer processor to monitor and control the application of the brakes. At braking, the processor monitors the RPM and braking pressure on each wheel. With this information, measured amounts of pressure are sent to each wheel in the form of hydraulic pulses to the calipers. These pulses achieve the desired braking pressure without allowing the wheels to lock up.

Conventional hydraulic brakes work by using a cylinder (actuator), which squeezes brake calipers together around the wheel’s rotor when the brake pedal is depressed. Under these conditions, the wheels may lock up and the tires run the risk of losing their grip.

Enhanced Stability for Tri-Axles

Building on this foundation of safety, all of our tri-axle chassis also come standard with Roll Stability Control (RSS). This advanced system is designed to reduce the risk of rollovers, providing critical protection for demanding applications.
