Steering Control

Additional Uses

If you truly want effective vehicle safety...

FOR STEERABLE CENTER LIFT AXLES & REAR BOOSTER AXLES

Many different types of trucks use these attachments and encounter problems associated with excessive tire wear caused by tire scrubbing. Shimmy becomes a problem and vibration associated with shimmy. When the wheels on the axle fail to follow the direction of the truck, the tires scrub the road surface & wear out faster. On rear booster axles such as those used on ready-mix concrete trucks, when the axle is first lowered the wheels may not be in line with the direction of travel. Tire scrubbing occurs and the axle violently aligns itself. The Safe T Plus will automatically bring the wheels to center without scrubbing. In the event of a blowout on the steering axle or the booster axle equipped with the Safe T Plus, the driver has full control of the steering.

FOR 4 X 4, POLICE & FIRE DEPT. CARS & VANS

For full size cars and 4 wheel drive vehicles all of the dangerous maneuvers required on the road and off the road are made safer with the Safe T Plus installed.

FOR SNOW PLOW TRUCKS

When traveling on ice and snow the front wheels return to center when the steering wheel is released keeping the driver aware of how they are angled. When the angle snow plow trips and the snow load passes under the truck the front wheels stay where the driver holds them. When the truck again contacts the pavement the driver is still in control. As long as one front wheel has traction, the driver can recover and continue to control the vehicle.

FOR HIGHWAY CENTER LINE AND SIDE LINE STRIPERS

Lays down a straighter stripe line by reducing wandering 90% and shimmy by 100%. The driver controls the vehicle in heavily loaded conditions even when a blow out occurs. It reduces the swerve effect on steering when side winds are gusty or from overtaking or passing vehicles.

FOR RAILROAD HIGH RAILERS AND RE-RAILERS

Travel on-highway to and between emergency jobs at 20 mph faster than the same vehicles not equipped with the Safe T Plus. Climbs over ties and rails easier and gives the driver more control of the vehicle in emergency conditions. Absorbs shock loads to the steering from hitting objects in the road, pot holes, etc. Reduces travel time to the emergency site!

FOR FIRE APPARATUS, TANKERS, PUMPERS, HOOK & LADDER, AERIALS

Eliminates shimmy caused by crossing railroad tracks, a rut in the road or a bump. Improves emergency response time by reducing or eliminating vehicle handling weaknesses. In Hook & Ladder operations, both drivers are more confident because of how the Safe T Plus controls the vehicle, both front and rear. The risks of over steering are reduced because the Safe T Plus helps the driver return the front wheels to straight ahead.

FOR CRANES, CHERRY PICKERS, SERVICE & TOW TRUCKS, READY MIX & WASTE PACKERS

Any special equipment added to a vehicle tends to unbalance (creates a higher center of gravity) and make the vehicle more difficult to handle and steer. The Safe T Plus returns more control to the driver eliminates the "mushy" feel to the steering wheel and gives a good feel of the road. On-highway travel becomes safer with fewer handling distractions to affect driver decisions.

FOR OVER THE ROAD 18 WHEELERS, AMBULANCES, MOTOR HOMES, BUSES

Less steering surges from gusting side winds and overtaking vehicles. Safer travel on rain and snow and ice covered roads because the wheels maintain straight ahead travel easier. "Set back front axle" trucks especially benefit from increased front tire mileage and a better "feel of the road".

FOR TANKERS

The liquid load shifting will not translate into steering problems. The driver more easily controls the vehicle.
