Fifthwheel Sensor Systems

OriginalEquipment® Limited has developed two Fithwheel Sensor Systems. The TrailerSafe® Sensor System and the SliderSafe® Sensor System.

TrailerSafe® which is a device that monitors the connection of the tractor unit to the trailer, first entered the market in 2001, and has since been fitted to hundreds of tractor units. Its success has lead to it being an 'on-line' option with Renault, DAF and Scania trucks. Customers include Business Post, Air Liquide, MRS, TFE and many of the major European fleets.

SliderSafe® has been introduced in-line with increasing use of fifthwheel sliders. It monitors the position of the fifthwheel on the slider and by linking to the trucks engine management system and inhibits the speed of the truck should a driver attempt to take it out on the road with the slider in the wrong position. The system is compatible with all DAF tractor units and current users include The Royal Mail.
