Call it the best of both worlds. Get your fleet into a smaller wheel without compromising brake quality and performance.
Experience the Bendix® ESTM (Extended Service) brake technology, the only available true extended service thicker lining in a 15-inch brake for 19.5-inch wheels. Bendix ESR brakes are also available for up to 3,000 lb heavier axle ratings than 12.25-inch brakes. When you want to use low-profile wheels for more cubic space and payload, but you want to avoid the brake maintenance costs inherent with typical 12.25-inch brake systems, the Bendix® ESRTM Reduced Envelope Brake is the solution.
Long-Life Brakes, Minimized Maintenance
Only Bendix provides ES brake technology with 19.5-inch low-profile wheels. Available in both drive and steer axles, the Bendix ESR 15.0-inch brake design offers significantly longer reline intervals over competitive 15-inch brakes and standard 12.25-inch low-profile brake systems. With reline intervals comparable to standard 16.5-inch diameter brakes, ESR technology minimizes brake maintenance costs. For fleets this translates into significant bottom line savings.
Improved Vehicle Efficiency, Greater Hauling Capacity
Bendix ESR brakes utilize the exclusive ES lining materials for optimum brake and drum life, and are available in regular and wide versions. With more cubic space in every haul, ESR low profile technology allows increased payloads for improved vehicle efficiency and profitability.
Brake system weight savings up to 230 pounds per tandem over 16.5 x 7-inch brakes, means greater hauling capacity in weight-sensitive applications.
