Wheel Charger Untitled 1Wheel charger

Clore’s Model No. PL3730 from Solar is a 6/12V intelligent wheel charger that provides three operational modes for auto charge, manual charge and engine start. Auto charge mode utilizes Pro-Logix, an advanced microprocessor-controlled process designed to deliver an optimal charge to each battery serviced, resulting in improved battery condition and restored reserve capacity; preprogrammed Soft Start and Recondition routines engage automatically as needed. An LCD display provides information to help simplify operational setup and monitoring; status lights alert the operator to the charger’s operational progress and warn of charging errors.

Tire Pressure Untitled 1Tire pressure monitoring system

TireStamp’s TireVigil tire pressure monitoring system is designed to meet the new TPMS 2.0 standard for commercial TPMS products and incorporates wireless technologies that provide remote diagnostics for tires so that fleet personnel as well as drivers are aware of developing tire problems and can react appropriately depending upon their vehicles’ location. In addition to providing alerts for underinflation, overinflation, overheating and differences in dual tire pressures, TireVigil TPMS also reminds fleets to retorque wheel nuts after tire changes to help prevent wheel-offs and tire fires resulting from frozen bearings and dragging brakes.

Every alert reports the vehicle’s last known location and provides vehicle mapping and tracking. The solution also provides reminders for preventive maintenance scheduling and visibility on vehicle speed, idling and ignition on/off status. It also can track the mileage a vehicle runs in each state for preparing fuel tax reports. Alerts and reports are e-mailed to all fleet-designated users, including service organizations.

The technician-friendly Servicing App records tire service work and changes sensor positions with a click of a mouse. The app also can be used to monitor the driver by tracking where a vehicle has been, its speed and when the ignition was turned on and off. The in-cab display will log when the driver acknowledges tire alerts. Its cloud-based system can be integrated with fleet backend management systems, providing visibility not only of the tires on one vehicle but also of all the tires in the fleet.

Regional drive tire

Michelin’s X Multi Energy D drive tire is designed for enhanced fuel efficiency, optimized traction and long tread life in regional and super-regional applications. The top layer of Michelin’s Dual Energy Compound Tread rubber is balanced for added fuel efficiency while exhibiting wear properties to resist tread scrub; the bottom layer is designed to maintain cool casing temperatures for low rolling resistance and extended casing life. The tire employs Michelin’s Matrix Siping Technology that provides interlocking treads for added traction and even wear; the siping’s zigzag grooved walls provide biting edges not only for traction but also for water and snow evacuation. The shoulder area also includes siping, further helping traction in adverse weather conditions without compromising tread life. The company’s SipeSaver Technology adds a teardrop-shaped groove at the base of the shoulder sipes to help relieve stresses on the tread and impede tearing, while the wide footprint and wider working belts help improve stability. The optimized footprint also helps reduce the need for additional tread depth, allowing for added mileage from the 24/32nds of original tread.

Wiring adapter

Truck-Lite’s wiring adapter has been designed to work together with select models from the company’s line of LED marker lamps to manage the amount of light the lamps deliver, adding a second brighter function to the lamps. During normal driving, the pigtail operates the lamps at standard marker-light output levels until the brake is applied, when the pigtail increases the light output to provide an increased level identification to those tailing the vehicle, assisting with stop and turn awareness. The pigtails install directly into traditional harness connections, making use of existing brake functions.

Silicone Untitled 1Silicone-enhanced lubricant

Kano has enhanced its Sili Kroil lubricant to loosen frozen metal parts and provide silicone-enhanced lubrication. The formula’s high-solvency oils first penetrate to break bonds due to rust, corrosion, contamination or compression and provide lubrication; once freed, the dimethyl silicones then provide extra long-lasting lubrication. Sili Kroil is designed for use on frozen bearings, slides, gate valves, hinges and chains. Silicone also enhances the lubricant’s water displacement qualities and improves its performance as a cutting oil.

Reefer-powered APU

The reefer-based version of Idle Free’s electric auxiliary power unit uses the company’s Reefer Link technology to make energy from the trailer refrigeration unit available for unlimited run time of the APU’s air conditioner and heater while also providing electricity for hotel loads. Most TRUs are powered by 50-hp diesel engines with their own 12V electrical systems that are separate from the truck’s electrical system; the Idle Free electric APU with Reefer Link can be connected to the reefer unit’s electrical system with polarized connectors that look like jumper cables and are protected with a fuse. The APU runs on alternating current and won’t drain the truck’s batteries; Reefer Link also is engineered to provide backup alternator power for both the reefer unit and the truck in the event either alternator fails.

All-aluminum Cascadia radiator

Kustom Cooling’s all-aluminum Freightliner Cascadia Radiator uses the company’s proprietary “Wavy Fin” design set in a bar-and-plate configuration for added performance, durability and reliability. The design helps prevent clogging of the cores due to road debris since there are no catch points; the fin is smooth from front to back and less susceptible to bending or lying over, and since there is more contact area of the fin to the plate, the overall strength of the core is increased to provide a more uniform control of thermal expansion as the coolant temperature heats up. Welding the aluminum tanks and core together facilitates a burst pressure of 100 psi, while a tube wall thickness of 0.06 inch adds more material to help reduce tube failure due to vibration and road debris. The aluminum transmission oil cooler and aluminum top and bottom tanks allow brazed aluminum threaded inserts to be welded directly into the tank. For the side channel, a flat bar is tied into the upper and lower tanks along the continuous weld around the core-to-tank connection. A piece of ¼-inch-thick neoprene is secured inside the radiator channels to help reduce road vibration.
