TUCK ROUTES

With You For The Big Haul

BY AL TUCKER

or many of our Ontario readers, when they hear the name Ridgetown, they are most likely to remember the Ridgetown Campus, Ontario Agricultural College, an extension of the University of Guelph. Ridgetown OAC offers a wide range of applied research and academic programs addressing food, agriculture, rural communities, and the environment. The latest addition to their offerings is an Associate Diploma in Equine Care and Management.

However, during my recent visit to the area I discovered another, equally impressive ‘College’ that has taken the business of building Heavy Haul Trailers to a ‘Masters’ level, Waltron Trailers Inc. From a distance, the Waltron location looks like many other manufacturing facilities I have visited over the years, but once inside the main building, the true nature of their craft overwhelms. I was met at the door by CEO Gunther Haas, a seasoned veteran in the world of steel structural design and project management; he once managed the project of rebuilding the main center section of the Ambassador Bridge.

Gunther escorted me on a tour of the fabrication shops and gave an enlightening commentary of the many specialty design features that are built into every customized Trailer. Every unit demonstrated the attention to detail likely matched only by the Aircraft manufacturing sector. The specialized nature of their Trailers and the critical need for low riding equipment requirements, prompted Waltron to design and build their own unique Drop Axles, -sans the traditional Axle Tube - in order to haul vessels with the deep drafts. Some of their Trailer designs are built so structurally strong as to even eliminate the need for cross-members.

Welding in the Waltron shop is truly a refined art! I noticed that all welding rod travels through enclosed tubes to the weld site to eliminate the possibility of air borne contamination. Now that’s what I would call attention to detail!

Their ‘Big Haul’ focus carries into a

variety of Roll-off Truck Deck systems (Max. 50,000 lb. capacity), Custom Truck Bodies for the Utility trade, 30 Ton Back Hoe Trailers, larger capacity Heavy Towing Trailers, ‘Stinger’ Steered Trailer models, Trombone Stretch models to 69 feet, “Wag-Tag” Trailer assists and most impressive of all, massive Boat Trailers that my fishing buddies might call the ultimate Lunkers. When I think of a Boat trailer, I would normally think of the one I used to trailer ‘BLUE MAX’, my 18 ft.

Doral Bowrider. Waltron’s 53 ft. Trombone ‘Goliath’ Trailer is designed to haul the largest yachts and their HW model with attachments has a capacity of 75 tons!

Now that’s some Boat Trailer!

With annual production fast approaching 200 units, and sales forecast to continue to climb, - abetted by a not unexpected surge in US demand - the need for additional floor-space has put expansion plans at Waltron into high gear.

During our tour, Gunther confided that most recently he has taken up ‘Star Gazing’; that is to say, that he has identified fast growing companies in the ‘Space Race’ that have special requirements for Heavy Haul ‘Rocket’ Trailers, Waltron’s design integrity would certainly meet NASA specs! .Playing a ‘Supporting Role’ to futuristic innovators like SPACEX or VIRGIN GALACTIC could take Waltron to a whole new level. Gunther wasn’t planning a trip to the Moon of course but the news that two private citizens have already booked a flight around the Moon with SPACEX leaves that option open I suppose.

In the meantime, with Waltron supporting local high school Co-op programs, the very idea that the fabrication of special trailers could be associated with space travel could certainly peak student interest as aspiring future Heavy Haul Trailer design engineers!

If your company has specialty Trailer needs, Gunther would be happy to put his creativity to work for you. He is waiting for your call at 519.674.5488. For the complete story, visit www.waltrontrailers. com.

esco, a supermarket chain in England, is conducting a trial of two Carrier Transicold multitemperature refrigeration units – engineless systems that run entirely on hydro-electric power generated by the trucks’ ultra-clean Euro VI engines. Carrier Transicold, which operates in the UK as Carrier Transicold (UK) Limited, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.

The trial is part of the supermarket retailer’s efforts to reduce its impact on the environment. These are the first two trucks fitted with alternative refrigeration technology to join Tesco’s fleet, which includes 450 rigids, 1,300 tractor units and 4,000 trailers.

“The new system offers huge potential to help us reduce our carbon footprint through lower emissions and diesel consumption as well as decreasing air and noise pollution. We also hope it will reduce maintenance and fuel costs across our fleet of vehicles in the long term.” says Caroline Sindrey, Tesco’s Engineering Manager.

The refrigeration systems are mounted to Mercedes-Benz Antos rigid trucks and will be used up to seven days a week, transporting chilled and ambient produce to urban Tesco Express and Tesco Metro stores across southwest England and southern Wales. Each vehicle will be kept in the fleet for eight years and is

expected to cover 35,000 miles annually.

The systems remove the need for a separate diesel engine as they are driven by an Eco-Drive GenSet power unit, which is powered by a hydraulic pump connected to the truck’s engine power take-off. The hydraulic pump drives a generator that delivers electrical power to the refrigeration unit and provides a continual, 100 per cent refrigeration capacity even at the truck’s standard idle speed.

With a PIEK-compliant (1) noise level rating of standard, the units are ideally suited to intensive urban delivery work.

In addition, the slim-profile evaporator offers maximized load space. With two refrigerating circuits fed by separate fully-hermetic scroll compressors, many serviceable items such as drive belts, pulleys and compressor shaft seals are eliminated, which in turn optimizes uptime levels and refrigerant containment.

This configuration – coupled to two economizers and a wide surface condenser – means the system provides a cooling capacity of up to 18,400 watts.

employees who deliver a superior product and assist with ongoing expansion. (Several years ago Gin-Cor completed a brand new addition of an 18,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Mattawa, and later opened sales and service facilities in Carleton Place near Ottawa and Kingston in order to extend market reach. This was followed more recently by the purchase of Durabody and JC Trailers. Both of these acquisitions met Gin-Cor’s desired profile; they are both custom fabricators dedicated to precision work that make up some of the strongest products on the market today).

With a workforce of some 190 currently employed in the Gin-Cor group, many are still working into their 60s and 70s, a testament to Gin-Cor’s pledge to honour and reward stellar craftsmen and technicians. Greater employee participation has also been encouraged by introducing more standardization by documenting procedures, cross training personnel, and relegating much of the decision making to staff. “I put things in place to allow others to make decisions and gave them some latitude to allow them to learn and grow,” Stang said.

The measure of this premier heavy truck builder’s commitment to employee well being and participation is confirmed by the company’s recognition that, “Behind every dump body, service body, snow plow, sander or crane installation stands a group of dedicated trades people and technicians who have made it their mission to build the very best.”

The high level of employee recognition is evident, too, in the help Gin-Cor offers to children of employees by giving them toys to help spark their young and creative imaginations, and to encourage them to consider a career in this industry when their employment years begin.

Ever focused on youth and their potential development, Gin-Cor holds an annual family & children’s party and has initiated a fundraising campaign. The company has created a calendar with proceeds from sales used to promote youth education and skiing instruction.

Commitment and dedication flow in equal parts to Gin-Cor’s customers and suppliers. Luc Stang is proud of the partnerships the company has built with suppliers in the area, noting that Gin-Cor’s presence as a major regional purchaser is well noted. Standing alongside its suppliers are Gin-Cor’s customers who have come to rely on this builder for quality work. Operating by the mission statement, “We build trucks that owners want to own and drivers want to drive,” Gin-Cor’s success as a major supplier of custom built trucks and trailers is the result of sparing no expense to meet customer needs. As recently as last Fall Gin-Cor Industries was ranked one of the fastest growing companies, another testament to its position as a preferred company among stakeholders.

NEWS & VIEWS

Tomorrow’s Independent Distributor

BY MIKE WHALEN

New Product News FLO Components TrailerCam

R T

he way the aftermarket channels of distribution are evolving it’s critical for the independent aftermarket distributor to look closely at the market served and create a plan to reach new prospects.

The main competitors the independent faces are the OE dealer networks and national parts marketing groups.

The major truck OEM’s are moving quickly to their own brand of engines and integrated drive lines. Plus, the OE dealer now has access to parts lines that used to be ‘owned’ by the independent. This means the OE dealer’s share of the parts and service market is only going to increase from the approximately 60% they hold today.

Major marketing/buying groups can offer economies of scale difficult for the independent to match on their own – but joining a marketing group will only keep the independent’s parts acquisition costs competitive with that of the OE dealer. The OE dealer will still have the advantage of detailed service knowledge – and the electronic connection directly to the truck.

Creating a plan to best serve your needs starts by really understanding your market’s make-up. Where are the trucks? Once outside the major centers – Toronto, Montreal, etc. the Canadian trucks in service can be mainly classified as vocational purpose-built work trucks. A good example is agriculture.

The Ag market employs roughly 35% of the trucks operating in SW Ontario.

Forestry – logging and wood processing – in BC, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. Oil & Gas exploration and production in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Construction and utilities across the Country. Trucks in urban logistics and municipal services make up a large percentage throughout the country.

The point is that if you know the make-up of your market you can start looking at parts and services tailored to the prospective customer’s mixed fleet, fleets that probably include offroad vehicles.

These off-road vehicles, operated by your ‘truck’ customer base, use parts made by the brands you already carry.

Think filters, belts, hoses for example.

Most operators of off-road vehicles are tied tightly to their OE dealer. Not because they want to be but because they lack aftermarket choices.

Think about expanding into services that will result in new parts sales for the off-road equipment operated by new

24 May 2017

prospects, as well as by your current customer base. Examples are hydraulic hose assemblies, exhaust and emission control systems. In-cab heating and air conditioning, fuel systems and vehicle lighting systems are a few more opportunities for expanding your business.

Develop relationships with private brand suppliers of off-road vehicle parts.

In my past I worked for an aftermarket distributor in northern BC that focused on parts and services for forestry, mining and construction equipment as well as the trucks in their fleets.

We carried truck accessories, tools, electrical components, wear parts for dozers, graders, loaders, etc. Our services included hydraulic hose assembly and filter cleaning. We looked at the total equipment mix of our customers and provided full-fleet surveys of hoses and hydraulic hose assemblies, filters and belts as well the wear parts. By doing this we could tailor our inventory to our customer’s needs and provide a valuable service.

Make sure your ‘truck’ accounts know of the off-road vehicle parts you carry and work closely with the customer to expand your offering. Ask them what items they have a hard time getting and add those parts to your offering.

All that I’m suggesting may be academic for some – but not for others.

The vocational/work truck market segments take you into the off-highway vehicle and equipment markets. Leverage your relationships to open new product and service sales opportunities.

A major difference in the off-road vehicle world, compared to on-road, is the tendency to continuously rebuild equipment.

And this translates into new business.

NeoBrake Matrix NeoCast Brake Shoe

eoBrake Systems has introduced the Matrix NeoCast, a new lightweight cast iron 4707Q brake shoe for the North American heavy-duty market.

Matrix NeoCast 4707Q combines the traditional advantages of cast iron shoes, such as rigidity, heat dissipation, sustained maximum torque, and better lining-to-drum contact, with a highcarbon ductile cast iron that weighs less than traditional cast iron shoes.

“The future may be air disc brakes, but the roadways are filled with trucks and trailers still using drum brakes to stop them,” said Rick B a l l e w, N e o B r a k e President and C E O .

“We know the beating pressed-steel cores take after each relining, so we developed a shoe that could resist all that and de- liver maximum braking power at every stop.”

NeoBrake says that the Matrix NeoCast 4707Q weighs within ounces of its pressed-steel counterparts but is more durable than a pressed-steel core. The brake’s rigid, one-piece construction eliminates table flex, web stretch, and broken welds that can lead to diminished torque, uneven lining wear, and premature lining replacement.

Matrix NeoCast shoes are currently available for all 4707Q applications and additional sizes are currently in development and will be available once completed.

Record Attendance at 20th NHES

BY MAREK KRASUSKI

C

anada’s largest heavy equipment show celebrated its 20th anniversary April 6 & 7 at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.

Innovative designs, cutting edge products for every conceivable sector were on display - industrial eye candy for both industry veterans and neophytes alike.

Exhibitors were present from the heavy equipment, road building, construction, forestry, landscaping, aggregates and other related industries. This year especially - the National Heavy Equipment Show (NHES) is a biennial event - saw a strong representation from suppliers of machinery dedicated to infrastructure improvement, thanks in large part to funding in the amount of some $125 billion from the Ontario and Federal governments. Canada is under construction and there was no shortage of equipment at the Show to handle any job.

National Show Manager John Cusack described the event as a success. “Our preregistration numbers were up significantly and there’s lots of rubber boots on the floor. There are 350 exhibitors here and we expect to bring in over 13,000 visitors during the two day event,” he said.

Others shared Cusack’s enthusiasm.

Funding Specialist for AKR Consulting, Oraine DeRosa credited the show for its organization and the benefits it yielded.

“It gave us an opportunity to meet new companies that we could form alliances with and with whom we shared information about our services,” she said.

Since 2003 AKR Consulting Canada Inc. specializes in helping companies obtain Government Rebates, Subsidies, Refunds, Tax Credits and Grants. Of note to industry stakeholders is the Fuel Rebate program available for companies that use generators as a main source of power on their projects. Additionally, there are rebates for companies with refrigerated trucks and dump trucks. Some of these rebates are retroactive for up to 4 years.

DeRosa explained: “Some companies are not aware of the fact that these rebates exist. We also assist companies with other funding programs such as the Hiring Grant and the Job Training Grant. AKR Consulting will find the greatest amount of grant money available for each of the companies we work with. We prepare the necessary paperwork and the applications, and are able to simplify the entire process for our clients.” Visit their website at www.akrconsulting.com.

Packaged for the smaller general contractor working in tight places, this Dump has an 18 ft box that replaces the standard 20.5 box, and comes with a lighter axle, lighter frame rail, and lighter rear end. “It’s 3 feet shorter than your standard triaxle,” Cybulski says, “but overall you’re still getting good payload.”

The VHD runs about $30,000 less than standard triaxles.

Earth moving work is integral to infrastructure and new roads and bridges, particularly in this national expansion phase, and machinery representatives were available to promote their latest products designed to handle the most rugged of environments.

Other exhibitors at this year’s show targeted more specific applications. The Quebec-based Metal Pless Inc. (www. metalpless.com) focuses primarily on blades and plows, earning the distinction as the “#1 Snow Plow Manufacturer Worldwide.” A variety of snow plow and graders are designed to be installed on tractors, backhoes, wheel loaders, skid steers, trucks and sidewalk equipment. Snow plow models are available in a number of configurations and are equipped with mobile steel trip edging that follows the imperfection of roads.

This feature, exclusive to the Metal Pless system, reduces the use of salt and abrasives by up to 50 percent. Distinguishing characteristics of its products, the company says, are greater visibility - the blade is two feet closer to the tractor, reduced weight on the front axle and reduced wear on front tires. High quality manufacturing materials assure durability, reduced maintenance costs and high resale value.

Relatively new to the North American market is the company Rototilt which established operations here in 2007 following a robust market presence in Europe. Rototilt’s signature product is the tiltrotator, an add-on that acts as a transforming device to allow excavators and backhoes to perform on-site tasks in limited space with reduced manpower.

ISUZU COMMERCIAL TRUCK OF AMERICA, INC.

All New Class 6 Truck from Isuzu

I

suzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc., has announced that production of its all-new entry in the Class 6 medium-duty truck segment - the 2018 Isuzu FTR - will begin in May of this year.

The F-Series truck will be assembled at a new 85,000-square-foot Spartan Motors facility in Charlotte, Michigan.

Orders for the truck are now being accepted.

“The all-new FTR is truly a gamechanger,” said Shaun Skinner, President of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America.

“This truck’s combination of low-cabforward design and Class 6 GVWR gives it fantastic maneuverability and visibility along with the ability to carry more cargo than a conventional Class 6 truck. Its four-cylinder diesel engine is environmentally friendly and gives the truck outstanding fuel efficiency. Its classleading warranty gives its owners peace of mind. And it’s an Isuzu Truck, a name that is synonymous with dependability, durability and low cost of ownership.”

Powerful, Efficient, Durable, Capable The FTR will be powered by the Isuzu’s renowned Isuzu 4HK1-TC 5.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine - a first in the segment. “We believe that more and more competitors in this class will be turning to four-cylinder engines, because they are cleaner and more efficient,” Skinner said. “Our 4HK engine goes beyond environmental friendliness and economy - it’s also durable and powerful.”

Isuzu also announced that this engine now carries a B-10 durability rating of 375,000 miles - meaning that 90% of engines should reach that mileage before requiring an overhaul. This represents an increase of 65,000 miles from the engine’s previous (and already robust) 310,000-mile B-10 rating.

OTHER TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS: • The FTR’s turbocharged Isuzu 5.2-liter 4HK1-TC engine generates 520 lbs.-ft. of torque at 1,650 rpm and 215 horsepower at 2,500 rpm • The engine is mated to an Allison 2550 RDS six-speed automatic transmission with power take-off (PTO) capability • The front axle has a capacity of 12,000 pounds, while the rear axle has a capacity of 19,000 pounds • GVWR is 25,950 pounds • 11R22.5 tires are fitted to 22.5” ? 8.25” steel wheels An incredible cruising distance can be achieved by the FTR, thanks not only to the truck’s miserly use of fuel but also its available aluminum 50- or 100-gallon fuel tank dependent on wheelbase.

SPACIOUS, FLEXIBLE, COMFORTABLE Because of its low-cab-forward configuration and clean back-of-cab design, the FTR can provide more cargo space within a given overall length than comparable conventional Class 6 trucks.

Eight wheelbase lengths, ranging from 152 to 248 inches, will accommodate bodies from 14 feet to 30 feet, allowing for a wide variety of body applications.

ORANGE ELECTRIC

Orange EV RR Yard Trucks

O

ne of the largest rail intermodal yard operators in the United States, Rail Management Services, operates a fleet of more than 700 heavy duty vehicles.

In July of last year RMS purchased an Orange EV yard truck for use at a Class 1 rail yard in Chicago. Based on the success of this first truck, RMS initiated a nine-truck reorder in January of 2017.

The trucks are being worked into onsite fleets to supplement or replace RMS’s diesel trucks. Five of the trucks will be deployed at the same Chicago rail yard while four will be utilized at rail sites in New York,” said Mike Saxton, Orange EV chief commercial officer. “The trucks operate around 10 to 12 hours each day

of “key on” work. This is expected to increase as the fleet evolves and incorporates the fast-charging option,” according to Saxton.

Switching from diesel yard trucks to electric provides immediate emissions reductions and health benefits for workers and surrounding communities. While figures vary by site, Orange EV estimated the per truck emissions eliminated in rail intermodal hub operations annually can be up to 160 tons of CO2, 1.7 tons of NOx, 1.6 tons of CO, and 80 kg of PM. While the overall total cost of ownership and savings benefits need more time for analysis, but the fuel savings are immediately quantifiable. For the initial truck, with standard charging operating 10-12 hours each day, the fuel savings, according to Saxton, are $56 a day or around $20,500 per year. Saxton noted that trucks operating with Orange EV’s fast-charging solution can realize higher daily usage, which equates to higher annualized fuel savings.

28 May 2017

The FTR’s low-cab-forward design also dramatically increases visibility and markedly improves maneuverability. “With inner 50-degree wheel cut, this truck has an incredibly tight turning radius,” Skinner said. This saves drivers time as they navigate crowded city streets where the FTR is expected to be in greatest demand - and that adds to productivity.

The FTR cab’s wide step and wideopening doors allow easy entry to the spacious interior of Isuzu’s exclusive Hexapod cab, which features threeacross seating and extra space for storage behind the seats.

Other interior amenities include a side under safety mirror, overhead console, and a suspension driver’s seat with armrest specially designed to increase comfort and reduce driver fatigue.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP The Isuzu FTR, like every Isuzu diesel truck, comes with a suite of features and programs that dramatically reduce downtime and overall cost of ownership, including: • A standard Multi-Information Display that allows drivers to monitor the status and condition of over a dozen vehicle performance functions, reducing maintenance costs and downtime

• Available Vehicle Health Reports provide comprehensive analysis of the truck’s powertrain and emissions systems, fuel economy, brake usage and driver operating habits • T h r e e - y e a r / u n l i m i t e d m i l e a g e powertrain limited warranty • Four-year/unlimited mileage perforation from corrosion limited warranty CLASS 6 TRUCK OF THE FUTURE “The overall concept of the FTR is to bring to our customers the next generation medium-duty low-cab-forward truck, one that features a clean, durable, highly efficient four-cylinder engine and is the best Class 6 choice for pickup and delivery in cities,” Skinner said. “The letters ‘FTR’ don’t stand for ‘future,’ but this truck represents the future, and it is here - now.”

VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA

Volvo Previews New Volvo VNR Regional Haul Model

“T

he VNR is wholly reimagined inside and out. It melds a modern, connected workspace inside the cab with bold exterior lines and optimized dimensions for maximum efficiency. This is a truck built to deliver the versatility our customers need to face the challenges of the rapidly evolving North American freight network” said Göran Nyberg, President of Volvo Trucks North America. “We expect that the VNR’s bold, dynamic appearance will change antiquated perceptions of what trucks should look like.”

To gauge impressions of the VNR’s streamlined exterior styling, Volvo Trucks recently offered a sneak peek to a few people - none of whom are actors, most with no connection to the trucking industry - and filmed their reactions.

To view the responses to the new VNR model visit youtube/HtMPedRv6vc and youtu.be/Zj9uCiLY_Js. Volvo Trucks has been adopting automotive features to help make driving freight vehicles easier and created a state-of-the-art driving environment to help attract more drivers to the industry.

New features include a proprietary steer-

ing wheel that tilts like a car’s - the first and only one in the industry -more ergonomic seats, an advanced infotainment system and a new instrument cluster with many new functions in the driver information display.

An updated version of the Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission and Volvo’s I-See predictive cruise control that memorizes road topography help shift more efficiently. Enhanced passive safety features and Volvo Active Driver Assist makes the new Volvo VNR the safest Volvo ever. All these are features designed to make it easier for drivers to focus on the road.

Designed and engineered expressly for regional haul applications, the new Volvo VNR delivers a street-smart blend of performance and agility. It was developed to be adapted to bulk transport, flatbed, liquid tankers, port drayage, and other urban pickup and delivery operations.

Volvo as a brand has always been innovative. We’re always driving progress,” said Nyberg. “Especially in this new Volvo VNR, we wanted to apply technology to meet specific needs articulated

DAVCO TECHNOLOGY

DAVCO’s New Line of Fuel Processor Models

D

AVCO Technology has released a new line of fuel processor models for Detroit medium – and heavy-duty engines and Cummins medium-duty ISB/ISL engines.

The new lines are designed for the new 2017 Detroit Medium Duty DD5/ DD8 engines, 2017 Cummins Medium Duty ISB/ISL engines and 2017 Detroit Heavy Duty DD13, 15 and 16 engines.

These new fuel processors incorporate a filter assembly made up of three specially designed elements, which not only capture contaminants but also provide best in class water separation throughout the life of the filter, according to the

company – even in cases with poor fuel quality and low IFT (interfacial tension) characteristics. Due to the negative impact of water and other additives on common rail fuel injection system hardware, both Detroit and Cummins have mandated that primary fuel filters must meet certain performance criteria with low-IFT fuels.

DIESEL PRO 245 The new Diesel Pro 245 combines the features of fuel filtration, fuel/water separation and fuel preheating into a single, compact unit intended for the new Detroit DD5 and DD8 engines and the new 2017 Cummins ISB and ISL engines.

Optional features Include: a 12 VDC or 24 VDC Pre-heater, a 120 VAC Overnight Heater and Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor, and a Fuel Pro 485 and 487, The new Fuel Pro 485 and 487 models are custom designed for the 2017 Detroit DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines. These new Fuel Pros are available with the Next Generation Cascadia, Classic Cascadia, Western Star and M2 114SD/122SD Chassis.

OPTIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE: 12 VDC Pre-heater, 120 VAC Overnight heater and Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor For more information about this product, go to www.davco.com.

THERMO KING

Power Generation Solutions From Thermo King

A

n expanded power management portfolio builds on Thermo King’s industry leadership with a comprehensive line of solutions that include the new Boost Charger, Auto-Start Module and Electric Pallet Jack Charger.

The new products provide greater durability, safety and efficiency, and aim to keep fleets up-and-running on the road.

The Thermo King Boost Charger gives fleets peace of mind that liftgate batteries will remain fully charged through multiple power sources. The charger is designed with three-stage battery charging, to maximize battery life, which reduces maintenance costs down the road. The Boost Charger also ensures that tractor power can be matched with other methods of power generation in a smart manner, and through the sevenway circuit, delivers power safely. The Boost Charger is available in 20-amp and 35-amp models and delivers greater

charging output than competitive products at a lower cost.

By continuously monitoring system voltage, the Thermo King Auto-Start Module automatically activates the PrecedentTM -Series alternator to charge if power levels drop too low. It also provides low-voltage protection for the auxiliary battery to ensure liftgate operation or that lights are running when they are needed most. With this added functionality, reefers become a “smarter” partner for power generation.

The Electric Pallet Jack Charger delivers 120V of power to the inside of trailers. This feature provides a convenient power source for electric pallet jacks. The charger generates power directly from the liftgate battery pack and has builtin lower voltage protection to preserve liftgate operation. With a fully-sealed, automotive-rated assembly, it is designed for under-the-trailer installation, which

ouisville, Kentucky – On March 23, Mack Trucks announced that the 2017 Mack® MP®8 engine with turbo compounding is now available for order, offering highway customers increased fuel efficiency.

“The new MP8 engine with turbo compounding is just one of the many engine upgrades Mack made to further enhance fuel efficiency for customers,” said Roy Horton, Mack Director of Product Strategy. “The turbo compounding system enables an improved operating range and allows a truck to hold top gear when cresting a hill, even with the engine rpm decreasing.”

Available exclusively with Mack’s Super Econodyne® downspeeding package, the MP8 with turbo compounding converts wasted energy from the exhaust into mechanical energy that is fed back to the engine.

The system

adds up to 50 additional horsepower, improving fuel efficiency by up to 8.8 percent. The additional power generated by the turbo compounding system allows the engine to maintain full torque as low as 900 rpm.

Several of the revised components and technologies found on Mack’s 2017 MP series engines – including the patented wave piston, turbo compounding and the common rail fuel injection system – were derived from research and development work associated with the U.S. Department of Energy’s SuperTruck program.

The SuperTruck program, a cost-shared, public-private partnership, aims to help accelerate the research and development of advanced efficiency technologies to improve the freight-hauling efficiency of heavy-duty Class 8 long-haul tractortrailer trucks.

Along with its involvement in the SuperTruck program, and now SuperTruck II, Mack also has been involved in several advanced technology projects that have unique features and benefits for specific applications.
