The Permalogic Selector System from Phillips Industries can now be included in the Phillips i-BOX housing and as a component of the company’s new STA-DRY S7 swivel electrical socket recently introduced for tractor-trailer combinations operating in tight maneuvering environments. Developed for refrigerated freight carriers with heavy cycle lift gates, the i-BOX housing has two thirds more room than traditional nose boxes and a lower profile.
The Permalogic Selector System intelligently selects between the tractor (via dual pole) or the trailer’s reefer unit as a source of power to charge lift gate batteries to capacity. The system will automatically shut off if it senses a problem with the reefer’s electrical system and will not cause any out of balance issues with either the reefer unit or the tractor.
Phillips’ STA-DRY S7 Swivel Electrical Socket can now include the standard Permalogic Dome Lamp Controller and Permalogic TC Liftgate Battery Charging System. Both are all-weather, all-electronic controllers that manage power from available sources. The system allows air and electrical cables to follow the truck even when the combination is required to move in tandem in a tight space creating severe angles.
