Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company and Cargobull Innovation
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company LLC has introduced a groundbreaking solution to meet today’s transportation demands. They recently launched the Cargobull Liftgate Battery Charger at a prominent industry conference, emphasizing their commitment to delivering advanced equipment that enhances operational efficiency.
Understanding the Cargobull Liftgate Battery Charger
The Cargobull Liftgate Battery Charger is specifically designed to ensure that refrigerated trailers function efficiently. By maintaining optimal charging conditions for liftgate batteries, this system allows for smooth operations during deliveries, which often involve multiple uses of the liftgate. It is exclusively available on Utility's 3000R refrigerated trailers, which are equipped with Cargobull's ultra-low-emission technology.
How It Works
This innovative battery charger draws 480 volts from the Hybrid TRUs to deliver low-voltage charging to the liftgate batteries, boasting impressive output capacity. This setup not only extends the life of the batteries but also enhances liftgate performance, making it crucial for fleets that operate under demanding conditions.
Distinct Features of the Charger
Conveniently located near the liftgate battery pack, the Cargobull Liftgate Battery Charger features robust conduits that protect electrical connections from wear and tear. Unlike traditional battery maintenance methods that depend on truck cabs for charging, this charger effectively tackles real-world challenges faced by fleet drivers.
Expert Insights on Battery Longevity
Steve Bennett, the President and COO of Utility Trailer, highlighted the advantages of the new charger, noting that keeping batteries fully charged can significantly prolong their lifespan. Particularly for routes that require multiple liftgate operations, this technology can potentially double or even quadruple the life of batteries, which is a game changer for fleet operators.
A Better Solution for Fleets
In the market, many alternative solutions tend to be complicated and costly, often involving solar cells or intricate wiring systems that can complicate matters further. The Cargobull Liftgate Battery Charger differentiates itself by providing a straightforward and effective solution. By positioning the charger near the liftgate rather than within the TRU, it ensures that batteries receive steady voltage levels while also monitoring temperatures to prevent overheating.
Efficiency and Reliability
This newly designed charger promises higher reliability in battery maintenance. By preventing service calls, fleet operators can save on costs and avoid downtime, making their operations smoother and more efficient. With this solution, Utility ensures that every delivery stays on track, reaffirming their commitment to delivering excellent service.
