Here’s how …

Trailer maintenance can become like vehicle maintenance

When your truck is due for an oil change, the service center is going to rotate your tire, and you know it’s time because you glance at your odometer. You don’t worry about how many times you’ve used the truck. You don’t search for the paperwork with your last oil change date.

So, when was the last time you rotated your trailer tires? How long has it been since you repacked bearings? Are there any other systems you should be checking?

How soon should your trailer customer come back in for maintenance?

Most trailer tire manufacturers recommend a 5000-mile tire rotation. Easy! With the Trailer Life Meter. And that’s a great time to do a full inspection, too.

A sound investment in growing the dealer’s Service department

Trailer dealers are building a competitive edge by investing in their Service business. Dedicated space, tools, experienced technicians, training, and certifications. So what happens when you aren’t fully utilizing that capability? When customers just aren’t coming in for service?

When creating a maintenance schedule, put a mile-based service interval for each service your dealership provides. Compare it to your fee schedule. Now you can start counting how much your service business might increase if you sell trailers equipped with the Trailer Life Meter!

No hassle, easy-to-use device – mounted once, then brings them back

The Trailer Life Meter itself needs no maintenance. There is no battery. It withstands the harsh conditions your trailers face on a daily basis.

It’s an always present, visible reminder of when that next trip to the dealer should be.

Mileage-based preventive maintenance

A small investment in the Trailer Life Meter will bring in lots of customers again and again. To learn more about how the Trailer Life Meter can help bolster your service business, ask about our Dealer Guide today!

Wireless Anti-Two Block Switch Systems for Traditional ATB

Anderson Controls is pleased to announce the general availability of their Wireless Anti-Two Block switch.

This Wireless ATB is designed to be a simple cost-effective replacement for traditional ATB systems.

With a quick installation, it is an easy way to remove the headaches associated with the wires, rusted contact, and loose springs of traditional ATB systems.

This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. There’s no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects, and no more need for a cable reel.

This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEM’s to reduce manufacturing cost by removing brackets, wire guides and the associated labor.

Eagle Signal manufactures electronic timer, electromechanical timer, and other devices. Within the electromechanical family is the HQ4 series of percentage timers. Percentage timers are a type of repeat cycle device that is compact and long-lasting. The HQ4 series is a unique timer that can function as an on delay, off delay, interval timer or repeat cycle device. Eagle Signal offers this accurate, economical, enclosed timer for a wide range of applications. Specifically, those where repetitive ON times of a fixed cycle requires adjustability. This series is a panel mounted unit with an exposed dial. The load relays’ seal protects against the environment. The HQ4 proves to be durable in industries such as chemical, feeding, irrigation controls, electric heaters, and motor controls. Recently, Eagle Signal developed an improved version of the HQ4 Series called the Cycl-Time® or CT4 Series.

CT4 series cycl-time percent timer/

The CT4 offers improved features including resolution, potentiometer, ease of setting, torque, safety, sealings, and wiring. Also, the Cycl-Time®’s resolution is more defined. For example, the colors of the faceplate offer more contrast for reading the time settings. With 100 ticks around the dial rather than 50, the CT4’s percentage options are more precise than the HQ4. The torque of the Cycl-Time® dial is more resistant to change than before. Once the timer is set, it will not rotate any further without intentional force from the user. These features combine to make the timer more accurate and easier to set. Safety is always the greatest concern when designing any product. The Cycl-Time® has a plastic guard over the terminal block to protect the user’s fingers from exposure to contractors. This percentage timer is ideal for applications environmental factors would usually cause concern. These features provide a longer lasting product and additional safety. The wiring and electrical connections of the HQ4 was also updated for the CT4. It now has four electrical connections, rather than seven, all in a straight line on the back of the body of the timer. As mentioned before, this timer is made to panel mounted. Eagle Signal continues to design the most accurate, economical, and reliable products in the industry. The HQ4 and Cycl-Time® Series are both exceptional devices fit for their specific applications. Cycl-Time® proves to be a respectable replacement option to the HQ4 Series.

Magnetically or RFID-coded safety sensors provide contactless security for doors, hoods and flaps

For any machine requiring a fixed guard-door or cover, the YSR series ensures reliable state monitoring (door open or closed). Thanks to their serial connection capability, YSR types are particularly suitable for applications using multiple sensors, such as long packaging or assembly lines. These RFID-coded devices are classified type 4 according to ISO 14119.

RFID technology enables the user to assign a unique code to each sensor and actuator system, which greatly reduces the risk of tampering. YSR sensors can also be connected in series via the OSSD output and inputs, allowing up to 30 sensors to connect with just one relay or controller.

Since each sensor can provide individual feedback, it is possible to identify which guard-doors are open and which are closed. This is particularly useful when many sensors are connected in series.

The YSR series is part of a range of non-contact safety sensors used to monitor guard-doors, hoods or covers. Thanks to non-contact switching and coded RFID communication, the service life of these compact sensors is very long. Housings are ECOLAB-approved and rated to IP6K9K, making them suitable for washdown applications.

Safety level is category 4 according to ISO 13849-1.

For any machine requiring a fixed guard-door or cover, the YSM series ensures reliable state monitoring (door open or closed). A magnetically coded system (type 4 according to ISO 14119) makes the YSM series immune to mutual interference and highly resistant to tampering. It is also possible to mount the actuator behind a stainless steel plate, which further reduces accessibility.

The YSM series is part of a range of non-contact safety sensors used to monitor guard-doors, hoods or covers. Thanks to non-contact switching and coded communication, the service life of these compact sensors is very long. Housings are ECOLAB-approved and rated to IP6K9K, making them suitable for washdown applications.
