SAF-Holland has updated and expanded the application coverage for its CBX Series Suspension System for trailers. The company’s proprietary Fusion Beam Technology – which helps facilitate lower trailing arm beam weight without compromising structural integrity by combining two suspension technologies – is being integrated into the CBX40, CBX23, CBX25 and CBX25/30. The technology involves the fusion of a fabricated tailpiece to the back of the suspension’s cast steel beam to create a component that can be configured to meet a wider range of dimension requirements. The optimized SAF X-Series 5¾-inch round axle also offers suspension configuration options.

Phillips Industries has applied both its Clear-Vu and Sta-Dry technologies to its Window Crimp & Seal Connectors to provide visual assurance that wires are sealed and crimped properly, and that corrosion buildup is inhibited. Clear-Vu’s adhesive-lined tubing is designed to allow for easier see-through inspection and to confirm a waterproof seal via the sealed window. Color-coded stripes help identify wire gauge size and also help guide the installer to the proper crimp position in the center of the barrel.

Rotary Lift’s Wireless Mach 4 column lift is powered by batteries and communicates wirelessly. Technicians make one trip around the lift to turn it on and configure it, and then can operate the entire lift using the control panel on any of the columns. The panel features an intuitive graphic layout of the column setup, onboard diagnostics, LEDs and one-touch controls. Wireless Mach 4 is available in sets of four or six columns; each column has a rated lifting capacity of 18,000 pounds and is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries. The lift is designed to raise a vehicle 70 inches in 78 seconds; lifting and lowering of all columns is synchronized automatically. Backup communication cables can be used in place of the wireless system with the flip of a switch; the system also can be retrofitted to existing Mach 4 mobile column lifts. The lift has locking mechanisms every 3 inches and a lower-to-lock function, and adjustable forks are designed to handle a wide range of wheels without adapter sleeves.

Hunter’s TC3300 center-clamping tire changer is designed to allow for fast, simple clamping of wheel designs. The center wheel support is designed for flexibility to mount large assemblies with overall diameters up to 50 inches easily; wheels clamp to the machine safely through the hub, and not on the rim edge where marring damage can occur. The electric motor exerts 800 ft-lbs. of torque to help with difficult assemblies. The floating, articulated mounting arm is designed to allow the polymer mounting head to follow the rim edge smoothly, reducing stress to beads; the polymer head, made of a wearing material, helps remove the potential of marring damage. A bead-loosening side shovel and blast inflation hose help seat the bead during inflation.

Battery charger
Clore Automotive’s Model C10122S, a two-bank 12V 10-amp battery charger from Christie, is designed for small lead-acid and gel cell batteries. The C10122S can charge two batteries simultaneously and independently and is designed to recover conventional, maintenance-free or gel cell batteries affected by partial sulfation due to seasonal use or deep discharge during long storage periods. Its “Dud Buster” technology is designed to provide extra initial charge voltage to break through battery sulfation, then adjust to normal charging voltage once the battery begins to accept charging currents. The C10122S features independent circuitry and charging controls for each of its two outputs. Each output allows for infinite charging current control from 0 to 10 amps to enable proper charging of a wide variety of battery sizes. Each output also features an independent timer control to stop the charging process after a specified period.

Bully Dog now offers two ceramic-coated exhaust systems for Detroit Series 60 engines designed to maximize airflow by smoothing out the sharp corners of the stock manifolds and eliminating any bottlenecks, and to eliminate any known failure points in the stock manifold. Both exhaust manifolds work on the same model years of the Detroit Series 60 engines from 1995 through 2003. The high-mount option (Part No. 85301) typically found in Kenworth and Peterbilt applications will replace OEM manifolds No. 23519348 and No. 23511978. The low-mount option (Part No. 85300) typically found in Freightliner and Western Star applications will replace OEM No. 23532122.
The tolerances of the three-piece systems have been tightened to help prevent leakage at the joints. A special metal alloy also has been used so that all three pieces expand and contract at the same rate as the engine heats up and cools over the life of the manifold. Each manifold is finished with a high-performance ceramic coating both inside and out to help improve airflow while lowering exhaust temperatures radiating from the manifold by 300 degrees.
