Dexter Sway Control including Installation

Description

A huge gust of wind, displaced airflow from a passing semi-trailer, or a sudden swerve causes trailers and caravans to sway dangerously, possibly resulting in loss of control of both the tow vehicle and trailer. Travel with peace of mind by installing Dexter Sway Control, a safety device that automatically stabilises the sway of a trailer or caravan, keeping you in control.

MUST be installed at One Stop Caravan Shop (authorised and trained ALKO-DEXTER installer).

Operating advantage over ever other system on the market

Proportional power to left side & right side braking for quicker & smoother correction

Left hand or right hand braking

• It has a proprietary algorithm which is used to determine the difference between quick steering to avoid a road obstacle (or other such circumstances) and the rapid onset of a trailer swaying event.
• It measures the angle, travel distance and speed of the lateral motion of the trailer (and other parameters) and uses this information to quickly intervene with the application of trailer brakes.
• The processing capability of the DSC is powerful and rapid. It captures all the critical elements of the swaying condition and uses this information to predict how the event will proceed without any driver intervention.
• It uses this data to get ahead of the event by applying the brakes on the correct side of the trailer, in a timely manner, with the proper braking level for the required duration.
• This quickly dampens and brings the trailer sway under control.

Dexter Sway Control is based on the same technology used in automotive vehicle stability systems.
