Cereals 2012
B1202, Boothby Heath
near Lincoln, LN5 0AS

We shall be exhibiting at the
forthcoming Cereals 2012 Show
on Wednesday 13th June
and Thursday 14th June

Stand number D504

In addition to our display of products and services, we will be using a test rig to demonstrate the operation of air brake and air suspension systems, now commonly used on agricultural trailers and crop sprayers.
We will also be demonstrating a hydraulic load-sensing valve suitable for agricultural trailers.

These demonstrations will be held at 11.00 AM and 3.00 PM on both days.

We look forward to seeing you!

COLOUR-CODED HANDGRIPS FOR TRAILER AIR BRAKE COUPLINGS

These comfortable moulded handgrips are designed to ease the process of coupling and uncoupling a trailer's air brakes. Using a special adaptor, they fit between the air coil and the coupling to provide extra grip and leverage. Colour-coded, yellow for the Service line and red for the Emergency line, the handgrips can be used with "C" couplings or Palm couplings.
Part No. G555 0000
(Kit containing One Yellow and One Red Handgrip, with Fittings)

PALM TO "C" TYPE COUPLING CONVERTERS

The air brake connections on your tractor are Palm couplings, but you need to tow a trailer with "C" type couplings. These converters enable you to connect the two types of coupling together. No spanners required.

Part No. EPCK 001

(Kit containing One Service Line Converter and One Emergency Line Converter)

HYDRAULIC LOAD-SENSING VALVE
Part No. ETK 007

DO YOUR TRAILER TYRES LOOK LIKE THIS?
Not literally perhaps, but persistant wheel-locking on an agricultural trailer will inevitably cause premature and uneven tyre wear, and with the price of tyres heading skywards a large pocket-full of these coins could soon be required. Wheel-locking is largely avoidable, and is usually the result of poorly balanced brakes which lock up when the trailer is empty or lightly loaded. The braking power required to stop a trailer when fully laden can cause wheel-locking when it is unladen, unless regulated by a load-sensing valve...

Hydraulic Load-Sensing Valve, with Cable-and-Spring Linkage Assembly

Designed for agricultural trailers or similar vehicles with hydraulic brakes, this is the latest version of the Erentek Hydraulic Load-Sensing Valve, Part No. ETK 007.
The valve is connected into the trailer's hydraulic brake line and is bolted to the chassis above the axle(s). It connects to the axle(s) by means of a cable-and-spring linkage, using a balance beam between the two axles if the trailer is tandem-axle.
(See illustration)
As the trailer load increases or decreases, axle movement causes the lever-arm to move up or down and the valve adjusts the hydraulic braking pressure to suit. Unnecessary wheel-locking is avoided and tyre life extended.
