Over the past few years, the global truck industry has undergone tremendous changes, with many trucking companies in the USA taking up automated vehicle technologies. This type of automated technology is focused mainly on driver hiring and retention improvement, eliminating driver injuries, reducing worker's compensation costs, enhancing productivity, optimizing operation, and saving fuel costs.
The trucking industry, unlike two decades ago,
has a more frequent trailer operation nowadays. Manually operating the landing
gear can be a grueling endeavor for truck drivers, especially those- who are
above the age of 50 years and female drivers. But, using air-powered automatic
landing gear from the Patriot Lift Company, LLC can elevate and lower the
landing gear of a heavily loaded trailer in 10 seconds, reducing injury risk in
drivers and improving productivity. Such superior technology will help a
company to gain more profit in less time and help focus your workers more on
their work.
The US has the biggest trucking industry in the world
The trucking industry is one of the biggest industries in the US, which includes many specialized types of trucking services. The operational process of air-powered automatic landing gear is one of those specialized and highly beneficial trucking services that makes deploying the trailer legs much easier simply with the flip of a switch. It eliminates the need for manual cranking, improves driver safety, hires and retains previous drivers, including women drivers, reduces driver exposure to a wide range of injuries such as damage to shoulders, knees, back, and upper body, and increases driver productivity.
As per a recent study, around 2.5% of drivers get injured per year for cranking the landing gears manually. The above data was published by the Labor Department which also said, "the percentage jumps from 2.5% to 10% for drivers above the age of 50 years and female drivers." Needless to say, drivers that manually raise and lower trailer landing gears have increased chances of musculoskeletal injuries. Since the process requires them to consistently bend, and applysignificant force.
The good thing is that Patriot Lift Company,
LLC, which is considered the leader in offering air-powered automatic landing
gears, eliminates any chances of injury from 10% down to zero.
The new technology is capable of lifting more than 60,000lb trailer in less than 10 seconds. Besides, it is an exceptionally durable and long-lasting product. Therefore, you do not have to waste a substantial amount of money and time on maintenance.
The landing gear is well-tested to survive
more than 30,000 cycles under load in severe weather conditions(both low and
high temperatures) with no failures. It is a lightweight unit that weighs only
10lbs and can be installed easily within 2 hours.
