RUBERY-OWEN-Rockwell's Anchorlok ES spring brake for trailers will be launched at this week's Amsterdam Show. It is now available to trailer manufacturers as original equipment, and can also be fitted to trailers already in use.
The ES is a further development of the Anchorlok concept and is a triple diaphragm unit (in effect a spring brake attached to the rear of a double diaphragm brake chamber).
It replaces the conventional trailer parking brake with one that is applied as the emergency line is disconnected, and if the air in the trailer reservoir drains then the spring brake takes over.
ES differs from a conventional trailer spring brake system in that it does not employ an inverting relay valve.
