The Safety Alert Compendium, chronologically collates the ATA Safety Alerts and other important brief alerts previously published.

This TAP has been developed to provide operators with a guideline that provides a consistent, clear and safe procedure for coupling and uncoupling prime movers and semi-trailers using fifth wheel couplings.

This Guide provides brake and stability performance ratings for truck and trailer combinations, with varying brake technologies. It aims to assist the Australian road transport sector to achieve best practice in the braking and stability performance of heavy combination vehicles.

Brake actuators are a critical part of an effective brake system. Often, these actuators are considered a commodity and the cheapest part is purchased which has resulted in poor performance and service life of these critical component. This updated technical advisory procedure developed by the ATA Industry Technical Council provides information on acceptable air brake actuator build standards, a brake actuator compliance table, and warnings against seeking to disassemble a spring brake actuators.
