Bendix Upgrades Trailer ABS With Smarter Diagnostics

The new iTABS X system replaces Bendix's TABS-6 Standard trailer ABS, adding faster diagnostics and connectivity that could help fleets identify brake-system problems before they lead to downtime.

Bendix is updating its trailer anti-lock braking system technology, giving fleets access to more detailed brake-system diagnostics and the ability to share that information through trailer telematics.

The new Bendix iTABS X Standard SC replaces the company's TABS-6 Standard trailer ABS. It adds controller area network (CAN) communication, so maintenance teams can access more detailed information about trailer braking systems and potentially identify problems faster.

The system became available through original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket channels in August. Bendix announced the new technology Nov. 11 as part of a broader overhaul of its trailer braking portfolio.
