The ABT product portfolio provides solutions to a number of identified problems

Problems identified

ABT solution

Customer benefits

Damage suffered to OEM braking systems operating in harsh off-road environments

  • Abrasion and corrosion - contamination by dust, mud, chemicals leading to premature brake wear, poor and often unsafe braking performance

Unintended vehicle movements

  • Risk to both people and equipment due to vehicle roll aways

Impact to both people and the environment

Enclosed and sealed braking systems

  • Prevents contaminants from causing premature brake wear and poor braking performance

Failsafe technology

  • Spring applied hydraulic release, failsafe capability

Wet brake technology

  • Fluid filled braking system

  • Significantly improved safety for both people and equipment

  • Improved Total Cost of Ownership through reduced maintenance costs

  • Increased vehicle uptime & fleet availability

  • Excellent braking performance even in the harshest operating conditions

  • Zero brake particulate emissions improves safety and lowers environmental impact

  • Improved heat management results in reduction in brake fade and bearing overheating

  • Harmful brake dust emissions
