The Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-60-EM
The Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-60-EM , formally the RM-60, is a trailer direction sensing system that focuses on the control of self-steering lift axles. It takes all the features from the Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-50 and expands on them.
The RM-60-EM provides the additional functions required for Ontario’s SPIF trailers with 5 or 6 axles, including the enhanced braking requirements, 60km/h steer-lock, and limitations of the 4-way lift functionality.
The RM-60-EM also provides the Emergency Lift Axle Override feature required for 2024 or newer trailers. Custom versions of the RM-60-EM are available upon request, contact Wheel Monitor for more information.

How it works
Reverse Lift
The reverse lift feature uses the Wheel Monitor Reverse Sensor to determine the trailers direction. When the trailer has reversed approximately 8 inches, the reverse lift feature activates. The Reverse lift feature remains active until the trailer moves forward 100 feet without stopping.
Reverse Alarm
Similar to the reverse lift feature, the reverse alarm feature activates when the trailer has reversed approximately 8 inches. The reverse alarm feature remains active until the trailer stops for 5 seconds or begins to travel forward.
Emergency Lift Axle Override Feature
The Emergency Lift axle Override feature can be activated by the driver, when travelling under 60km/h. The feature is activated by turning ON the Emergency Lift Axle Override switch and the 4-way flashers. The feature will deactivate if the 4-way flashers are turned OFF, the trailer travels above 60km/h, the trailer stops, or 3 minutes has expired.
Steering Lock Control
The steering lock control feature can be used to lock the self-steering for straight operation. The feature activates the lock when the trailer is in reverse or traveling over 60km/h. The lock will deactivate below 60km/h and traveling forward.
The speed based lock is required by SPIF on trailers with lift axles behind the primary group.
