Brakes

Scania drum brakes are rugged and robust. By nature, they are equipped to operate effectively and reliably in muddy, dusty, wet and sandy conditions. For this reason, many drivers prefer drum brakes over disc brakes for off-road applications.

To meet the specific needs of construction companies, Scania has continued to develop drum brakes in conjunction with ABS. The results: improved off-road performance and simplified on-site brake maintenance. Routine maintenance at each wheel is limited to three grease points, while inspection apertures enable easy checking of the brake shoes.

Drum brakes are currently available for chassis heights ranging from high to normal.
