Disc Brake Conversion??

I’ll have to go find the invoice but if I remember somewhat correctly it was less than 600 total. And that’s having the shop do it. And it only needed pads on all 4 rotors were still good. I’ll look for the invoice tomorrow.

 

Reviving from the dead.

I'd like to convert three trailers to Air Discs if there's any new conversion kits available..
Hendrickson Axles , air ride

 

I’m in this situation, too. I have a truck ordered with discs, my trailer (which is a new 2023 model year utility) has drums with Hendrickson 23k axles. I want to convert my trailer to disc when my new truck arrives and have disc all around.

 

Wondering what kind of fuel mpg are you getting out of your set up?

 

Contact Hendrickson and ask them what is needed.

 

School buses don't even have seat belts lol

 

I've been looking at doing this and i can tell you there isn't any KIT for it. You need to get a Cut off and either cut ur end off and put the new cut off on or transfer everything over and hope it works... The quote i got today for a cut off with disc brakes is gonna be over 20k thats if everything works.. Saying its a used cut off could be a lot more if parts arent working..

 

Wrong.
Disc brakes has a better stopping power than drum brakes.
A Qualcomm G-Sensor detecting a collision every time an emergency disc brakes application was needed.
I know that since I use them since January 2012.
On triaxle loads up to 46.5T all 2012.
Continuing with tandem loads up to 39.5T afterwards.
Try them, love them, stop bashing them.

 

They don't beat trailers.
Most braking is done by the tractors.
Your trailers have a minor contribution only.

 

School busses are owned by cheap !@#$% who don't give a fuss about your children.
