Excessive brake wear in vac trucks (vacuum or vac-trucks), used for waste disposal, sewer cleaning, and hazardous material handling, presents unique safety challenges. These heavy-duty vehicles often operate under strenuous conditions, carrying heavy loads that increase the stress on brake systems. The nature of vac-truck operations, involving frequent stops and starts, especially in urban or industrial settings, further exacerbates brake wear. Moreover, the operation of vac-trucks in potentially hazardous environments, where spills or leaks of dangerous materials could occur, underscores the importance of maintaining a robust and reliable braking system. The use of high-quality, durable brake components that can withstand the demands of vac-truck operations is essential for enhancing safety and operational reliability.
Power Brake’s Diamond Technology improves safety by eliminating overheating and excessive wear, ensuring safe braking throughout the life of the truck. Maintenance costs are dramatically lowered, with some rotors still in service after 150,000 miles. Our Diamond Technology isn’t a coating or plating, so it will not wear away. It coalesces with the metal to strengthen the components against heat, corrosion, and wear.
