ThrottleStop Heavy Duty Trucks

SKU ThrottleHeavy

Product Description

Diesel engine trucks used in transporting, storing, or manufacturing hazardous materials face a serious risk of diesel engine runaway and potentially fatal consequences. The ThrottleStop Overspeed Protection System provides a simplified, plug-and-play safety solution specifically designed for heavy-duty trucks.

This system uses a preprogrammed module that continuously monitors RPMs and automatically triggers the throttle valve to close when engine speed exceeds the set limit. ThrottleStop adds a critical extra layer of safety for both people and property.

Key Benefits for Heavy-Duty Applications

  • Plug-and-Play Design: Eliminates cutting or splicing air intake piping.
  • Customized Wire Harness: Guarantees the lowest installation time in the industry.
  • Remote Reset: Manual remote reset programming can be activated without opening the hood.
  • Accidental Overspeed Protection: Protects against unintended RPM shutdown while the vehicle is in motion (e.g., gear misses or heavy load on steep terrain.)
  • Lower Cost: 50% less expensive than traditional overspeed protection systems.
  • Quick Delivery: Same-day or next-day shipping available.
  • Engine-Specific Kits: No programming necessary; shut down using upgraded OEM air intake throttle valve.

Advanced Features

  • CAN BUS J1939 or Magnetic Pickup: Utilizes existing RPM signals for precise monitoring.
  • Field-Programmable Overspeed RPM: Set and adjust trip points easily.
  • Optional Auto or Manual Reset: No hood opening required for either case.
  • Non-Interference with ECU: Works seamlessly alongside factory electronics..
