Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems' trailer products business announced that Utility Trailer has added the Bendix ASA-5 automatic slack adjuster as standard equipment on all new trailer models. Production began in August.

The Bendix ASA-5 slack adjuster, featuring patented and exclusive bronze bearing rings on the spline gear and durable clutch geometry, exceeds SAE’s 200,000-cycle durability test standard, assuring long service life. In addition, its seals and lubricants are proven to resist external moisture and contaminants that can cause premature wear-out.
Utility Trailer has a history with the Bendix ASA-5 on its flatbeds and dry freight vans, but this announcement expands its use to Utility’s refrigerated vans and Tautliners.
“Utility Trailer and Bendix share a common drive to continually improve the value and quality we provide for our respective customers,” said Stephen Bennett, vice president of purchasing, OEM and aftermarket, Utility Trailer. “We recognize the Bendix automatic slack adjuster as a premium component with a proven history of dependable, long service life, and one that enhances our entire mix of trailer offerings.”
Utility is the third largest trailer manufacturer in the United States and the largest producer of refrigerated vans.
