Watson & Chalin introduces SL13K with air disc brakes(Bulk Transporter Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Watson & Chalin introduces the SL13K-1190 with air disc brakes (ADB), a suspension solution that provides sufficient clearance for faster installation, proper torqued fasteners, and the ability to maintain track. The SL 13K Series Tru-Track Alumilite is Watson & Chalin’s most popular capacity steerable model and incorporates the company’s “quick-change ride height system.” The SL 13K Series is ideal for dump, mixer, refuse, and heavy haul applications. It is lightweight, yet durable. The Super Short Rail (SSR) version offers a more compact mounting design when space requirements become critical. All TRU-TRACK lift axles are backed by Watson & Chalin’s five-year limited warranty. Legislation requiring rigs to stop within a certain distance, is one way of trying to make trucking safe. At Watson & Chalin, this safety feature is already designed into the ADB assemblies. “They hold up better in extreme conditions, maintain stability, improve performance at cooler temperatures, reduce brake fade, and draw identical power from left and right brakes,” said Keith Rhodes, director of North American sales and marketing. Many Watson & Chalin fleet customers already have air disc brakes on steer and drive axles. As ADB demand increases, Watson & Chalin ADB product will soon include 20K steerable Tru-Track and 20K ridged suspensions. ADB benefits include easier brake pad changes, quicker adjustments, greater downhill performance and available with an optional dust shield.
