Mack Trucks has announced the availability of the Mack Road Stability Advantage by Bendix for mixer applications on the Mack Granite model.

The system uses the existing ABS wheel sensors and steer, yaw and lateral acceleration inputs to deactivate the throttle and brake in sharp maneuvers.

“We’re very proud to be the first heavy-duty truck manufacturer to offer this technology to vocational customers,” said Steve Ginter, Mack vocational products marketing manager. “Concrete customer demand for stability protection is strong because mixers, in general, are recognized to have a high center of gravity and carry dynamic loads.”
