Phillips Industries’ Charge-Box, a Sta-Dry nosebox with both single- and dual-pole charging sockets, offers flexibility to provide power to trailers with liftgates, which commonly have either a single- or a dual-pole connector. The Charge-Box is designed to eliminate having to pair trucks and trailers with the correct liftgate or auxiliary power connections.

The Sta-Dry Nosebox has an impact-resistant noncorrosive nylon housing with steel reinforced mounting collars. The single- and dual-pole sockets with solid brass pins are enclosed in zinc die-cast housings for added durability. Mounting holes at each socket location are elongated for adaptability, and each socket lid has a stainless-steel hinge pin and spring to facilitate long life.
