The Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-50

The Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-50 system combines functional value with trailer safety operations. The Reverse-A-Matic™ trailer direction sensing system is a stand alone device that is independent from the cab. The Reverse-A-Matic™ system automatically locks and/or lifts a self-steer or lift axle.

The Lift Axle functions meet SPIF regulations for 3 & 4 axle trailers by removing control from the cab. The Reverse-A-Matic™ RM-50 system has a second output, which will turn on backup lights and/or beeper while reversing to add safety and convenience. By activating the back up lights on the trailer you can illuminate the path behind the trailer and warn others of your presence.

Features

  • Activates the trailer reverse lights/alarm system.
  • Lifts or locks the trailer’s self-steering axle while reversing.
  • Can be used for various other applications that require Reverse activation.

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.
