Retrofitting a specialised brake system can be a safe and cost-effective solution to protecting a fleet of trucks and earthmoving equipment.

Australian Brake Controls (ABC) provides brake solutions and genuine replacement parts for industrial, mining and commercial sectors  – backed by a team of qualified specialists.

Since its inception in 1987, ABC has supplied customers in these markets with an extensive range of services.

These include:

  • Fitting an air system to a grader to enable trailer towing
  • Fitting brake locks to the front and rear axles of a truck with a cherry picker to prevent it from moving while the cherry picker is in use
  • Fitting an air brake system to actuate trailer brakes to be able to tow a fifth wheeler
  • Installing specialised transmission hand brake systems
  • Upgrading prime movers to the latest anti-lock braking system (ABS)
  • Fitting load-sensing, ABS or (electronic braking system) EBS to a trailer
  • Providing air-bag dump systems

ABC’s specialist workshop facility is complemented by a wide range of air brake parts and brass air fittings sourced from major brands globally.

“Not only can we do the work but it will be fully engineered when required and you can be assured of the quality,” the company says.

“Give our team a call to discuss your special requirements and we may just have the solution you are looking for.

“Make sure that any modification work done to your brake system works and is safe – someone’s life depends on it.”
