''We fitted the Axscend EBPMS system to the first 5 trailers on our fleet and we were instantly alerted to an issue with one of the trailers. We decided to pull it off the road and conduct a laden roller brake test to check the validity of the system. We found an imbalance that was locking one side of the brakes up and a noisy wheel bearing.
Really happy that the system did its job and with what it is showing us already, can’t wait to get the rest done 😊'' ... Trevor Smith - Transport Manager
