The challenge
Moving extreme loads on long platform trailers presents immense logistical challenges. Navigating tight job sites, complex road networks, and sharp corners with traditional mechanically-steered trailers is slow, inefficient, and carries significant risk.

It often requires multiple spotters, increases tyre wear from scrubbing, and limits the accessibility of your transport equipment.

The Solution
Intelligent, independent steering. TRT's Electronic Steering System™ replaces cumbersome mechanical linkages with a smart, responsive electronic-over-hydraulic system.

By giving the operator precise, remote-controlled command over each axle group independently, ESS unlocks a new level of manoeuvrability and operational freedom.


Simple Control, Sophisticated Technology

  • Operator command

    The operator uses a lightweight, ergonomic remote control to input steering commands, allowing them to be positioned for optimal visibility and safety.

  • Central ECU

    The signal is sent to the trailer's central Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the brain of the system.

  • Precise calculation

    The ECU instantly calculates the optimal steering angle for each individual axle group to achieve the desired movement.

  • Hydraulic execution

Key Features & Advantages
  • Unmatched Manoeuvrability

    Achieve steering angles and contra-steer (crab steer) capabilities impossible with mechanical systems, allowing you to access the most restrictive sites.

  • Enhanced Safety

    The operator can control the trailer from a safe distance, eliminating the need for personnel in high-risk crush zones and improving situational awareness.

  • Reduced Tyre Wear & Maintenance

    Optimised steering geometry for every turn dramatically reduces tyre scrubbing, significantly extending tyre life and lowering operational costs.

  • Increased Efficiency

    Navigate complex job sites faster and with fewer personnel. Reduce the time and cost associated with each transport job.

  • Proven Reliability

    Engineered with robust, high-quality components, ESS is built to withstand the harshest operating conditions, delivering reliable performance year after year.

  • Versatile Integration

    ESS is a modular technology that can be integrated into a wide range of TRT trailers, from heavy haulage platforms to specialised house moving trailers.
