Stabilization unit AL-KO ATC-2 for single-axle cargo trailers 750-1300 kg

The new generation ATC - Trailer Control stabilization system for cargo trailers is equipped with updated electronics with higher efficiency, thanks to which it is now also available for cargo trailers without restrictions on the minimum operating weight of the trailer.

There are situations that every driver fears. The trailer will sway during the journey due to the current situation, gusting wind, air pressure when overtaking a truck or an evasive manoeuvre. In the worst case, the driver loses control and an accident occurs. The AL-KO ATC system, along with other measures, helps prevent such situations.

The AL-KO ATC stabilization system uses a lateral acceleration sensor to detect trailer sway at the axle level. A permissible range of lateral movements is stored in the system. When this range is exceeded, the system applies the central brake rod before the sway reaches uncontrolled limits. Pulling the central drawbar activates the trailer's wheels. This will "stretch" the whole rig and return the trailer to a stable running path. The braking effect of the AL-KO Trailer Control system is so subtle that the driver is not even able to notice it. The system will also not illuminate the trailer's brake lights during this gentle braking.

The AL-KO ATC stabilization system for cargo trailers can only be used for cargo trailers equipped with AL-KO axles. The system connects to the trailer's 13-pin plug, from which it is powered (the trailer cannot be connected to a 7-pin plug).

Advantages of the AL-KO ATC - Trailer Control new generation system:

• It reacts earlier and more efficiently than the stabilisation systems of a towing vehicle.
• It continuously monitors the sideways sway of the caravan.
• Gentle interventions restore the stability of the vehicle.
• The horizontal installation does not significantly reduce the ground clearance of the trailer.
• The system is available in variants up to a total trailer weight of 3500 kg

The AL-KO ATC Trailer Control system for cargo trailers is available in several versions. For optimum effect, it is essential to always choose the right variant for the specific trailer. The following trailer parameters are important for determining the right variant:

Number of axles

The system is available either as a single-axle or double-axle trailer

Total trailer weight

Or the maximum technically permissible weight of the trailer - this is the maximum weight that the trailer must not exceed. It can be found in the trailer documents and on the trailer's nameplate. The different variants of the system are always designed for a certain range of maximum permissible trailer weights. The maximum permissible (formerly known as gross) trailer weight must always be within the range of the variant.

Variants of the ATC system for cargo trailers

Please note: The ATC system for cargo trailers cannot, and is not designed to, intervene in the event of grossly negligent driving or in the event of inappropriate behaviour of the trailer due to incorrect loading (e.g. too high a centre of gravity in the case of a narrow trailer) to such an extent that its faultless operation can always be guaranteed. The ATC system for cargo trailers in no way robs the driver of his duties.
