Few years ago, drum brakes were the only option for heavy vehicles like trailers and trucks. Things started to change with the introduction of disc brakes. For starters, the cost of owning these revolutionary brakes was less.

The conventionally used drum brakes had 9 to 12 moving parts. And more moving parts meant more maintenance. This isn’t a case with disc brakes. Another advantage of disc brakes is reduction in stopping distance.

The stopping distance is around 17-33 percent shorter when compared to drum brakes. The importance of this benefit increases when we talk about federal braking standards related to heavy trucks.

Thanks to all these advantages, many people now switch to heavy duty truck air disc brakes. This is where the drum brake assembly toolkit from BrakeMate® comes into the picture.

Drummate™ Adaptor

An add-on to the original BrakeMate, Drum adapter helps in getting rid of the heavy lifting required during removal of drum brakes. This is mainly used when heavy duty truck air disc brakes have to be installed.

Why workshops are using it

The workshops in the US and Australia increasingly use it because it saves their mechanics from back pain and other issues caused by heavy lifting. They also don’t have to shell out a lot of money on costly equipment that’s often used only for a short duration.

While transitioning to disc brakes on heavy duty trucks, this equipment can be used seamlessly. You just need to attach the adapter to the trolley of the rotor hub. It becomes functional immediately after doing so.
