A tandem position sensing system includes a range sensor configured to emit a signal toward a sliding tandem and to measure a distance between the range sensor and the sliding tandem, a sensor housing configured to house the range sensor, the sensor housing having a first opening through which the range sensor is configured to emit the signal, and a coupling member attached to the sensor housing and configured to couple the range sensor housing to a body of a trailer or a chassis. Un sistema de percepción de la posición del tándem incluye un sensor de alcance configurado para emitir una señal hacia un tándem deslizante y para medir una distancia entre el sensor de alcance y el tándem deslizante, un alojamiento del sensor configurado para guardar el sensor de alcance, el alojamiento del sensor tiene una primera abertura a través de la cual el sensor de alcance está configurado para emitir la señal y un miembro de acoplamiento unido al alojamiento del sensor y configurado para acoplar el alojamiento del sensor de alcance a un cuerpo de un remolque o un chasis.
