85 Ton Truck Trailer Industrial Remote Control Opertaion
AJM Radio and Controls have completed another successful project for transportation company Mas Logistics.
This project entailed the refurbishment of an 85 Ton truck trailer for transport of diverging payloads. The trailer is fitted with hydraulics to control the trailer ride height, length, gooseneck & fifth wheel steering.
Industrial Radio Remote Controlled Functionality
AJM Radio and Controls have completed another successful project for transportation company Mas Logistics.
This project entailed the refurbishment of an 85 Ton truck trailer for transport of diverging payloads. The trailer is fitted with hydraulics to control the trailer ride height, length, gooseneck & fifth wheel steering.
The ride height can be raised and lowered on each side independently or simultaneously. The trailer is controlled by an operator in another vehicle following the truck via the Autec Air 8B industrial radio remote control (RRC) which was fitted by AJM Radio & Controls.
In addition to the ride height, the length of the trailer can be extended up to 24 meters so that different lengths of cargo can be accommodated.
When a trailer is extended it will take up multiple lanes on a highway to turn. A normal truck would need two lanes. In this case, the back wheels of the trailer can be controlled to steer via the hydraulics which in turn lessens the space required for turning.
AUTEC Air 8B Industrial Radio Transmitter
The AUTEC A8B multi-function push button transmitters are light and compact solutions for lifting and automation applications. It is robust and durable, resistant to drops from 1.5 meters and has navigation menus to optimize functionality and performance according to the demands of the application.
The system comes with two external Li-Ion batteries, battery charger and ex-tractable power key switch kit for start-up. All this is supplied as standard with the complete system.
The RRC can safely operate up to a distance of 100m and the average usage time on a fully charged battery is up to 16 hours. The weight of the remote transmitter unit is only 250g.
Above all else, the safety and reliability of the RRC operation are of utter importance. This is the fundamental reason for industrial RRC application.
Autec has taken every care to ensure that their RRC is always designed with this principle in mind.
Couple that with the quality workmanship, sales and aftersales support of AJM Radio & Controls – and you create an extremely effective product.
