About ABT
Based
in Perth, Western Australia, Advanced Braking Technology Ltd (ABT)
is dedicated to the development of innovative braking systems. The
company’s key asset is the Sealed Integrated Braking System
(SIBS®),
a comprehensively patented Australian invention.
SIBS®
utilises wet friction, with the moving
and non-moving brake parts immersed in a specially-formulated fluid
which dissipates heat and reduces wear through lubrication. As a
result, the brakes exhibit very low wear with minimum maintenance
in many cases, the brakes usually outlast the vehicles they are
fitted to, unlike conventional drum and disc brake.
SIBS®
brakes
deliver unparalleled safety, improved productivity and lower operating
costs, and are engineered to survive the world’s harshest
conditions.
The
proven technology is also environmentally friendly, eliminating
brake dust emissions and noise and squealing, provides a wide-range
of benefits for on-road, off-road and industrial applications in
terms of safety, reliability, performance and adaptability.
ABT’s cornerstone product is the
SIBS®
brake for light commercial vehicles used in the mining sector. Its
product portfolio includes SIBS®
brakes for the Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Canter
and the Isuzu NPS300, plus several special purpose brake designs.
It is collaborating with various industry sectors to adapt
SIBS®
for trucks, conveyors, industrial brakes and other applications
requiring safer braking systems.
ABT also provides braking solutions on a fee-for-service
basis to customers requiring one-off or limited volume applications.
Under these programs, ABT’s engineering team is contracted
to deliver custom braking solutions. A SIBS®
system was recently delivered to an international original equipment
vehicle manufacturer under a technology demonstration agreement.
A
fail-safe brake for application on concrete agitator trucks used
in underground mines has been completed. This project was funded
by a consortium of mining and mining service customers.
ABT’s
manufacturing plant is located in Thailand. It has worldwide patents
on its technology.
