Features and benefits
Impressive Benefits
- You save time thanks to plug-and-play installation of the prepared axles.
- A sample certificate in accordance with ECE R79 and EMC certificates in accordance with ECE R10 are available
- Simple connection to EBS system using cable set supplied
- Due to their lower dead weight, they carry more load compared to conventional steering systems.
- The system can be used to control two steering axles.
Product details
As an operator and driver of semi-trailers, you have benefitted from the economic and technical advantages of the BPW self-steering axle for decades. Simpler manoeuvring with the self-steering axle also makes operation more economical, reducing both tyre wear and fuel consumption. At an annual mileage of 100,000 kilometres, it is possible to save around 1,000 litres of diesel and four tyres – thanks to improved cornering performance.
However, for functional reasons, all these advantages have so far only been realised when driving forwards. When reversing, the steering mechanism is locked and the axle remains rigid. From now on, you will benefit from all the advantages of the self-steering axle - even when reversing in manoeuvring mode. With Active Reverse Control (ARC), BPW has developed a new electro-hydraulic auxiliary steering system that steers the steering axle fully automatically when reversing at speeds of up to 10 km/h.
Active steering with ARC is now also available for travelling forwards. The manoeuvrability of the trailer in manoeuvring mode is significantly improved once again, as the steering function with the remote control is now also available when driving forwards.
This increases the agility and manoeuvrability of your vehicles when manoeuvring and reduces time and tyre wear!
