Brake Repair

Brake system repair for silo trailers and semi-trailers: EBS diagnostics (Wabco, Haldex), brake cylinder replacement, shoes, linings, drums, air suspension. PHS Magnum Chorula, Poland (A4).

In Brief

Brake system repair covers EBS diagnostics (Wabco TEBS G2/G3/G4, Haldex EB+), drum and disc brakes, cylinder replacement, and air suspension on BPW, SAF and ROR axles. Mobile repairs on the A4 within 100 km. Quotation on request.

The brake system is responsible for the safety of the entire road train. Modern silo trailers have electronically controlled EBS brakes instead of conventional ABS — the system actively controls braking force at each wheel according to axle load. An EBS fault is not just a warning light: it represents a real reduction in braking effectiveness, particularly under full load.

PHS Magnum services brake systems on all trailer types: from simple lining replacement to EBS module programming.

Brake service scope

EBS and ABS diagnostics — fault code reading, sensor testing, calibration. More on EBS diagnostics →

Drum brakes — brake shoe and lining replacement, drum replacement, automatic slack adjuster service. Drum and lining thickness measurement at every service.

Disc brakes — disc and brake pad replacement, caliper service, flexible hose inspection.

Brake cylinders and parking spring brakes — replacement on leakage or seizing. Spring brake units (Tristop) — serviced with functional test.

ABS/EBS systems — computer diagnostics, ABS sensor replacement, wiring repair, modulator valve replacement, central module replacement or programming.

Air suspension — air bag replacement, levelling valve service, hose and fitting replacement.

Typical silo trailer brake failures

Seized brake cylinder (most common cause of overheated wheel) — internal corrosion in older cylinders. Symptom: smell and smoke at the wheel, hot drum after a short run. Immediate replacement required.

Broken ABS sensor cable — frequent after winter, at cables running along the chassis. Symptom: ABS warning light, fault code on a specific wheel.

Faulty automatic slack adjuster — shoes don’t self-adjust, clearance increases, braking effectiveness declines. Symptom: “long” brake lever, increased cylinder stroke.

Compressed parking spring brake — if the Tristop spring leaks: parking brake fails to hold. Vehicle can roll. Critical fault.

Trailer axle specialisation

Most frequently serviced axle systems in our workshop:

  • BPW EBC/ECG — standard in Spitzer and Feldbinder trailers
  • SAF INTEGRAL — Kassbohrer, Schwarzmüller
  • ROR — older trailer models
  • Jost — cement tankers and heavy specialist trailers

Frequently Asked Questions

EBS systems: Wabco TEBS G2/G3/G4, Haldex EB+ Gen 2/3, BPW ECO Tronic. Drum and disc brakes. Axles: BPW, SAF, ROR, Jost. We service all trailer brands: Spitzer, Feldbinder, Kassbohrer, Schmitz, Schwarzmüller, Wielton, Krone.

Symptoms: active ABS/EBS warning light, uneven braking (tractor pulls to one side), juddering under braking, burning smell near the wheels after a long run, increased stopping distance. At annual service: measure lining and drum thickness.

Quotation on request depending on fault type and scope (diagnostics only vs. full cylinder/drum replacement). Describe the fault and trailer details when calling: +48 602 716 551.

Yes. Brake cylinder replacement, adjustment and simple EBS repairs are possible on the A4 within 100 km of Chorula. For extensive repairs or drum replacement — the vehicle needs to come to the workshop. Tel: +48 602 716 551.

Minimum: every 12 months (annual service) or every 100,000 km. For intensive operation (cement, heavy loads, mountain routes): every 80,000 km or 8 months. Earlier if visible symptoms of degraded braking appear.

Yes. Non-functional ABS, worn linings below 2 mm, leaking brake cylinder or faulty air spring are all grounds for rejection. Brake service before a vehicle inspection or TDT renewal is recommended.
