Brake-stroke indicators for compliance

Feb 13, 2012

The brake-stroke indicators are designed to meet new safety requirements and provide ease of inspections. The universal indicators fit on any vehicle equipped with airbrake chambers that have an exposed 5/8-in. diameter pushrod. They take about three minutes per wheel to install, the company says, without any special tools. The indicators are reinforced against breakage from vibration and impacts and require no maintenance.
