Grote Industries said it has developed a totally modular power delivery and lighting system, complete from nose box to taillight. The Ultra-Blue-Seal harness system, paired with Grote’s new Ultra-Nose-Box receptacle and Grote’s broad portfolio of lighting products, provides a unique electrical and lighting platform for trailers.
“Our modular power delivery system creates a sophisticated, durable, weather-resistant electronic backbone for today’s demanding trailer manufacturers and fleets,” said Dominic Grote, vice president of sales and marketing for Grote Industries. “The system minimizes wiring mistakes and downtime, while maximizing fleet and worker performance, providing the highest return on investment and lowest cost-per-mile technically possible today.”
The Grote Ultra-Nose-Box solves the current problem of cracked, corroded and crowded electrical junction boxes, according to its maker, with double the standard number of pin connections, a push-on plug function, a durable glass-filled nylon housing, insert-molded pins that seal out moisture and corrosive materials and easily replaceable parts.
From molded, threaded brass inserts that ensure the nose box is locked down, to a special mounting gasket that protects against moisture, the Ultra-Nose-Box is built to perform in tough conditions.
Complementing the Ultra-Nose-Box is Grote Industries’ Ultra-Blue-Seal (UBS) harness system. As the world’s first modular harness system, UBS has over 30 years of innovation and leadership behind it. The UBS connector system provides protection against weather, dirt and corrosion. Grote’s patented double seal technology features dual sealing rings that give twice the sealing power of any other connector brand. Male pin lamp plugs, such as those featured on Grote’s renowned SuperNova line of LED lamps, are reinforced with banded terminals and a grease slot that keeps moisture out.
“The whole is worth even more than the sum of its parts,” added Grote. “A total power and lighting system that is 100% sealed and waterproof simply works better. A better performing system means a better performing vehicle and ultimately, a better performing fleet. We call the resulting gain in productivity the Grote Performance Advantage.”
UBS is flexible without being complex. The design allows for many types of connections without having to change the entire harness system. The system is easy to expand, because all the plugs use the same UBS sealing technology and better connections mean longer life and higher reliability. The UBS seal helps keep critical connections and components from corroding, even in the toughest road conditions, the company said.
