Braking response and brake application control
is significantly better with disc brakes even under the
toughest braking conditions. Tests confirm that disc brakes
out perform 'S' cam drum brakes in extended downhill driving
situations. The smaller brake chamber used consumes less air
than standard drum brakes to perform a similar task. |

PERFORMANCE |
|
|
With the inherent high efficiency
of disc brakes the vehicle stops more easily in a straight
line and less distance. The disc brake does not suffer from
fade under constant brake pressure whereas the drum brake
needs gradually increasing brake pressure to maintain the same
brake performance |
 |
| MAINTENANCE |
| Exchanging air disc brake pads
take 1/4 of the time of typical 'S' cam drum brake linings
resulting in large time savings. Reduced parts inventory is
achieved through the use of the same brake components on all
the axles fitted with 19.5" and 22.5" wheels. The expected
longer life of the main service items also results in fewer
service intervals |
