EBS Brakes for Tractor-Drawn Trailers and Hooklifts: Intelligent Safety

Metsjö’s tractor-drawn trailers and hooklifts are setting a new standard for safety in agriculture and construction. By equipping our trailers with an advanced Electronic Braking System (EBS), we offer more than just a brake – we deliver an active safety system that adapts to load, speed, and surface conditions in real-time.

Why choose EBS for your next agricultural trailer?

In conventional air brake systems, braking pressure is often static. This results in a risky compromise between an empty and a full trailer. Metsjö’s EBS eliminates this compromise, providing heavy-duty truck performance for your agricultural transports.

Feature Traditional Air Brakes Metsjö EBS (Intelligent)
Braking Action Static pressure (lock-up risk) Dynamic real-time adaptation
Stability Risk of skidding when empty Active Roll Stability Support (RSS)
Component Life Higher wear on linings Optimized pressure reduces wear
Safety Relies on driver reaction Proactive intervention against roll-over

Key technologies for safer hooklifts and trailers

To maximize safety during heavy transport with hooklift trailers and dumpers, we integrate three core functions into our EBS:

  1. ALB – Automatic Load Sensing: Whether you are hauling an empty hooklift or a heavy harvest, the system calculates the exact braking force needed. Sensors continuously monitor suspension pressure to ensure perfect balance.

  2. RSS – Roll Stability Support: RSS acts as the trailer's digital guardian angel. By analyzing lateral acceleration and wheel speed, the system predicts rollover risks in curves and automatically brakes the outer wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

  3. ABS – Full control during emergency braking: Our ABS prevents wheel lock-up on slippery forest roads or icy surfaces, ensuring the tractor maintains steering control.

Certified performance for 40 and 60 km/h

Metsjö braking systems are designed for modern high-speed tractors.

  • Approved for 40 and 60 km/h: Future-proof solutions for fast road transport.

  • Hot Air Brake Test: Our systems have passed the industry's toughest thermal tests, ensuring consistent braking power during intensive operation and long descents.

  • Smart Energy Management: A unique standstill function saves power and protects components when the vehicle is parked with the ignition on.

Technology that makes a difference: At Metsjö, intelligent safety is about technology working perfectly in the split second when it truly matters. Invest in a safer workday with the market-leading braking system for tractor-drawn trailers.
