New TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series Anti-Lock Brake Actuating System Kits Offer Custom Trailer Manufacturers and Repair Facilities Unprecedented Installation Customization and Ordering Flexibility

ABS Air Brake System Kits are Ideal for Short Run Installation Situations Where Component Customization, Universal Fit, Complete Installation Packaging, and Quick Turnaround are Required.

South Bend, IN - BluDot Incorporated, a leading supplier of packaged brake systems for custom trailer manufacturers, distributors, and dealers, is proud to present the TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series Anti-lock Brake Actuating System Kits. These ABS air brake system kits are designed for short run installations where same day or quick turnaround ordering times are desired. The ABS air brake system kits fit a wide variety of commercial-duty one, two, and three axle trailers (weighing up to 45,000 lbs.) and feature an electronic control unit relay valve that monitors the movement of each sensored wheel, thereby modulating air pressure on the trailer brakes for sure, controlled stops. The air brake system kits meet current FMVSS 571.121 regulations for ABS air brake systems and offer the benefits of reduced tire flat spotting and trailer swing, thus lowering trailer downtime and minimizing tire wear due to braking. In addition, the ABS air brake system kits feature custom-order capability for universal fit and come complete with packaging to lessen inventory costs and increase installation efficiency.

An Answer to Low-Volume Installation That Still Requires Component Customization

According to a BluDot Incorporated company spokesman, the TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series ABS brake actuating systems are a perfect match for manufacturers, distributors, and dealers who install air brake systems on cargo, equipment, and flatbed trailers as low as one to a half-dozen at a time. For these suppliers, the South Bend company customizes the components of the TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series ABS air brake system kits to the installers' specifications, and if desired, offers same day service. For larger orders, the company also customizes the ABS brake system kits but may need extra time depending on the order size and customization requirements of the installer.

A typical TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series ABS air brake actuating system kit includes: the air reservoir, computer/electronic control unit relay valve, sensor cables, snap connectors, wiring harnesses, and mounting hardware. Bulk hoses can be ordered, and the Indiana company can customize hose lengths, connector sizes, and additional components as needed. A fully sensored two-module system is available and provides added side-to-side braking control on all wheels. BluDot Incorporated also supplies air brake control kits for the tractor if needed.

Ideal for the Installer Who Faces Inventory Space and Cost Limits

In addition to the ability of the air brake kits to be customized, the TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series ABS air brake systems are shipped and packaged for complete installation. The family-owned company explains that complete installation packaging eliminates the high costs of inventory management and space for its customers, and saves time on installation by having all the connectors, wiring harnesses, and other components organized and together. This helps increase the installation efficiency on the assembly line for the custom trailer manufacturer, and makes it convenient for the certified mechanic who is replacing or repairing ABS brake systems on existing trailers.

A typical TA-7000 and TA-8000 ABS air brake system kit includes: the air reservoir, computer/electronic control unit relay valve, sensor cables, keyed snap-together connectors, bundled wiring harnesses, and mounting hardware for straightforward installation. Bulk hoses can be ordered, and Bludot can customize hose lengths, connector sizes, and additional components as needed.

Meets Current FMVSS 571.121 Regulations

Both the TA-7000 and TA-8000 Series air brake actuating system kits meet the minimum legal ABS air brake requirement enacted in 1998. The advantage of the TA-7000 and TA-8000 anti-lock brake system is that each system contains an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) relay valve that monitors the movement of each wheel, which has a sensor mounted near it to monitor wheel rotation. The relay valve modulates the air pressure on the trailer brakes, ensuring electronically managed, and controlled stops. A fully sensored two-module system gives side-to-side braking action on all wheels for the ultimate in braking control on a variety of road surfaces and weather conditions.

BluDot Incorporated is a second generation, family-owned company that has built its 25-year reputation on customized brake systems at competitive prices and with prompt service. The company is a leading brake system supplier to the recreational vehicle, marine, and trailer industry.
