Compliance tells you what has happened.
Intelligence helps prevent what happens next.
AXSCEND's new Wheel End Monitoring System (WEMS) builds on the capabilities of SAF Connected and AXSCEND’s EBPMS by delivering real-time visibility into wheel-end condition.
Using sensors integrated within the disc brake assemblies, WEMS monitors:
Brake pad wear • Disc brake operating temperature • Wheel-end thermal behaviour
The result is a new level of insight into trailer health, helping operators identify developing issues before they become costly failures.
By identifying thermal imbalance and abnormal temperature trends at an early stage, operators can intervene before minor issues become major maintenance events.
Benefits include:
Suitable for disc and drum brakes, and retrofitttable
Reduced risk of roadside breakdowns
Lower maintenance costs
Improved workshop planning
Increased trailer availability
Reduced risk of wheel-end fires
Enhanced fleet safety
WEMS is another step in SAF-HOLLAND's vision for predictive trailer maintenance. Not just monitoring performance. Predicting problems before they impact your operation.
The Challenge:
From April 2025, changes to legislation meant that laden roller brake tests or EBPMS are the only accepted methods to assess brake performance.
Section 5.3a DVSA updated Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness
The Solution:
SAF CONNECTED is a fully integrated solution that helps UK transport operators meet the new braking performance assessment requirements. It combines SAF INTRADISC axles, Haldex EB+ 4.0 braking systems, and AXSCEND’s advanced telematics into one streamlined combination. Specifying SAF-HOLLAND’s disc-brake INTRADISC axle isn’t just future-focused - it’s financially sound.
Three super-compelling reasons why you need SAF CONNECTED:
6-YEAR WARRANTY on the SAF INTRADISC – unmatched in the market
6-YEAR WARRANTY on the Haldex EB+ 4.0 braking system – total peace of mind
FREE AXSCEND EBPMS – cut costly laden brake tests from 4 a year to just 1
And as if that wasn’t enough, we’re also including the AXSCEND Maintenance Planner free of charge as part of this high-value, exclusive offering.
