Total gross load can be easily computed by multiplying the gauge reading by the total number of air-suspended axles in the system.

This line features connectors with enough contacts for every circuit that must be linked between a truck and its trailer. The Thirteen-Pole Connector, one of the connectors in the expanded line, surpasses SAE J560b performance standards and conforms to the required interchangeability between thirteen and seven pole sockets. The unit's seven standard diameter contacts use Cole Hersee's Spring-Grip design, with a self adjusting spring band providing uniform contact with the socket pins. The additional six small diameter contacts carry up to 25 amps, allowing access to six additional circuits. Contacts float for proper engagement with all mating sockets.
