DTS® - The new standard for semi-trailers
The challenge of conventional semi-trailer steering systems
Conventional steering systems for semi-trailers are based either on a heavy hydrostatic displacement circuit in the fifth wheel or on a vulnerable angle sensor in the king pin to control an electronic steering system. The disadvantages are obvious: high weight due to the complex mechanics, risk of damage to the sensor during coupling, and time-consuming reference runs to calibrate the straight-line running.
The innovative solution from ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK eliminates all these problems. We use DTS® technology, which is well-known in agricultural engineering and has been tried and tested thousands of times, and which does not require a sensor mechanically coupled to the towing vehicle and drawbar.
The advantages for the semi-trailer:
- No sensors in the king pin
- No sensor cylinders in the fifth wheel plate
- Reduced system weight for more payload
- Available for vehicles up to 80 km/h
At the same time, the electronics offer maximum flexibility in the steering geometry, e.g., for telescopic trailers.
