Tankers with lift axles

It was an ABS issue with the tractor. It never got repaired so I couldn't tell you what needs to be done to solve the issue. After leaving that company I pulled tanks for another carrier, all their axles lifted based off of the load on the suspension. I knew my tank was 95% empty when the axle lifted. It was a much better and simpler system than the ABS powered lift axles

Interesting follow-up. The Kenworth dealer is ordering us some type of Retro Kit they say will fix the issue. Should know sometime next week if this works. We have five late model Kenworth's in our fleet and these are the only tractors we are having problems with.

That was most educational!
I have put some lift axle kits on some trailers. The kits came from MAC trailers and had a manual valve. Turn it one way when you are unloaded and the other while you load. Simple and it always works.
