• YAP( TEC is to launch a positive steering system in April for trailer axles, which will be offered at a price "comparable with self-tracking installations."

The new design has been developed by York Holland where it is being used in prototype form. A system of heavy-duty cables connect a sensor at the fifth-wheel coupling to the steering axle(s). The cables cross over beneath the trailer so the axles steer in lhe opposite direction from the movement of the kingpin in the fifth wheel. York expects the positive steering system to be offered alongside a new .E1,500 self-tracking system which will be launched in March.
