Product Description
The Reverse-A-Matic™ trailer direction sensing system is a stand alone device that is independent of the cab. The Reverse-A-Matic™ system automatically locks and/or lifts a self-steer axle. The RM-60 Lift Axlefunction will also lift the forward axle when the four-way flashers are activated and speed is under 60 Km/H is maintained. The value of this feature is that it transfers weight onto the drive axles for increased traction during slippery uphill conditions. The Reverse-A-Matic™ system has an output, which will turn on backup lights and/or beeper while reversing to add safety and convenience. The Reverse-A-Matic™ system monitor’s trailer air tank pressure and warns driver of insufficient pressure with a lamp on the trailer.
The Steer Axle and the Lift Axle functions automatically remove control from the cab. The Four-way Flasher Function gives back the Lift Axle control to the driver when needed for dangerous and slippery conditions only. The Reverse Lights can illuminate the path behind the trailer and warn others of its presence. The RM-60 meets all SPIF regulations including 5 & 6 axle trailers. Wheel Monitor products are designed to meet SAE J-1455 specifications for heavy-duty vehicles.
