Read MoreA spring brake cylinder (also known as a DD3 safety chamber) is found on the rear axle of most heavy trucks. It is used for parking and emergency braking in case the service brakes fail. The system wo
Read MoreThe brake system on a truck requires high levels of air pressure to stop and begin moving again. Long-haul trips often require the driver to pump the brakes many times over for hours at a time. This c
Read MoreAir brakes are an essential safety device for trucks and buses. They provide the power and force to stop your vehicle and trailer, and they must be inspected and adjusted daily by drivers to ensure th

Read MoreWedge brakes are another type of air drum brake found on some heavy trucks. They use a push rod that directly contacts the brake shoes and drum, pushing the brake shoe linings against the drum. Unlike
Read MoreBrake chambers pack the power and force in your vehicle’s braking system, converting pressurized air from the brake pump into mechanical action to apply your brakes. These brakes are critical to your
Read MoreIn recent years the truck brake industry has seen a big shift from drum to air disc. This is largely due to requiring reduced stopping distances for trucks and trailers. In addition to improving braki
