Diamond C Brings Anti-Lock Brakes to the Heavy-Duty Trailer

· 1 min read

Diamond C has built an anti-lock braking system into its heavy-duty trailers, including models rated to haul up to 16,000 pounds. In panic-brake testing, the system keeps a fully loaded trailer stable rather than letting the wheels lock, turning what is typically one of the more alarming moments behind the wheel into a controlled, uneventful stop. For anyone towing a classic car, a boat, or livestock on the highway, that stability at the moment of hardest braking is the whole point of the upgrade. It's a quiet piece of engineering, invisible until the one time it's needed.

With reporting from The Drive.
