Girling Skidchek. The anti-skid, anti-jack-knife system from Britain's leading brake systems manufacturer: one of the most advanced braking developments in years.
Skidchek cuts down the stress and strain of driving in increasingly difficult conditions and can pay for itself many times over. Safer transport means more secure profits. Because every accident raises insurance liability— ties up capital during repairs—and lowers productivity through downtime.
Added to that, greater vehicle safety means less risk to your fleet, the loads, road-users—and to your drivers themselves. Skidchek keeps your driver in control because each wheel is individually monitored. It comes in axle sets and can be fitted to the drive, steering or trailer axles of an articulated vehicle.
For maximum protection it can be fitted to all axles.
When a wheel is about to lock Skidchek goes into action.The brake pressure on the axle is momentarily released and then reapplied several times a second and at a rate determined by the system to give the best possible balance of braking performance, whatever the weather and road conditions, leaving the driver in full control.
On every account it's a worthwhile investment.
* Can be fitted to all makes of air braking systems.
* Inexpensive. Only a small proportion of the total vehicle cost.
* Compact. Just six parts per axle, * Can be fitted in-service with minimal downtime.
* No change to existing components.
* Sealed components for easy maintenance.
* Self-checking system.
Skidchek can be fitted at any Girling Appointed Fitting Station.
But don't just take our word. Write for details of our next full scale demonstration. And see for yourself the dramatic proof of the best news haulage has had for years.
