Safety

Trakker features the following braking systems:

  • ABS,
  • EBL
  • and, upon request, ASR.

Thanks to the "off-road mode" it is possible to deactivate the ABS function allowing (up to a max speed of 15km/h) the wheels to brake in synchronisation - particularly useful for negotiating arduous off-road conditions were grip is at premium . Once the speed exceeds 15km/h the ABS function automatically reactivates.


ANTI-LOCKING SYSTEM

The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) on the Trakker prevents the brakes locking up during braking, no matter what the road surface conditions are. The signals which reach the ABS sensors, located on the wheels, provide exact information regarding the behaviour and reactions of each wheel during braking. Therefore the ABS is able to reduce brake force immediately before one or more wheels lock. If the road surface conditions allow for more decisive braking, the ABS increases the braking power again up to the maximum grip limit.


ELECTRONIC BRAKE LIMITATION

Trakker is equipped with EBL (Electronic Brake force Limitation) in order to optimise brake power based on load. The impulses sent from the ABS sensors provide all the necessary information regarding the reaction of individual wheels under the braking action. It is therefore possible to calculate the effective distribution of the load between the axles and the live axle and to calibrate the braking pressure on each axle in real time based on the conditions at the moment.


ANTI-SLIP REGULATION

The function of ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) is to impede slippage of the drive wheels and improve traction during acceleration. The ASR electronic control unit:

  • optimises vehicle stability,
  • prevents slippage of the wheels at all times
  • and reduces wear on the tyres.

With ASR the drive wheels have the best possible traction on all road surfaces such as steep inclines or slippery surfaces.
