Can I make sure the driver couples up correctly?
Best practice is already in place for coupling and uncoupling procedures (see related content links at the base of this page) but it has always been a challenge for operators to enforce.
Don-Bur has invented and developed various trailer design enhancements to encourage improved coupling practices, including what is arguably one of the most important connections; the ISO 7638 line (EBS line).
EBS-Safe - A simple warning light positioned in the drivers eyeline on the front offside front pillar. A 90 dB siren also activates when the ISO 7638 line is not providing power.
EBS-Safe+ - An enhanced version of the EBS-Safe system with an additional brake interlock that doesn't release until the trailer ECU is receiving power.
Leg-Safe - A system to encourage drivers to lower the landing legs correctly before de-coupling and thus preventing "dropped" trailers.
