Drivers are the most valuable resource for any trucking company. But, for decades, they have been suffering from countless physical injuries due to the repetitive nature of their work relating to the raising and lowering of the truck trailer landing gear. These injuries range from musculoskeletal disorders of the neck, upper and lower back to shoulders, elbows, and arms. Yet, until now, no steps were taken to make a truck driver’s life safer and more comfortable.
Anyone owning a trucking company knows how important a truck driver is for their company. Keeping in mind the safety of the drivers, Patriot Lift Company, LLC has designed a smart air automated On-Lift landing gear for the trucking industry to help them in driver hiring improvement and retention while eliminating the physical injuries during their activities when raising/lowering truck trailer landing gear. So let’s discuss why On-lift air-powered landing-gear automation for trailers can help your trucking business is the need of the hour in the trucking industries.
- Simplicity
An On-lift air-powered landing gear automation system for trailers operates by channeling the air supply that comes directly from the existing brake lines to pneumatic raise & lower landing gear of a fully-loaded trailer in less than ten seconds. It is the most effective and reliable patented automatic air-powered landing gear in the market that is capable of lifting a 70,000 lb trailer simply with the push of a button. The compact system is simple to use, easy to install, easy to maintain, fits effortlessly, and easily retrofits to most types of landing gear. The control to the system is located on the trailer at the appropriate height so that the operator only needs to turn on the system and manually operate the valve lever. The unit weighs only 10lbs and can be installed in less than 2 hours.
- Cost
The cost of an On-lift air-powered landing gear automation system is significantly less in comparison to hydraulic systems. Not only this, but the cost of the life cycle of the electric motor used in an automated landing gear is also significantly less. The reason being the electric system not delivering the torque required for lifting a trailer.
- Low maintenance
The air-powered landing gear automation system is a very low maintenance system. The only maintenance required to prevent road grime build-up is the replacement of the lubricant and occasional cleaning.
- Reliability
Automated landing gears are very reliable since they operate on the trailer’s air system. Hence, you will not find any issue related to possible electrical problems due to broken or corroded wires or motor burnout. The motors are extensively tested to last over 30,000 cycles without any failure. This is similar to using it for 20 years with significant drops and hooks.
- Low environmental impact
One of the best things about automated landing gears is that they operate on pure air and therefore, there are no possible environmental issues due to hydraulic fluid leaks or disposal. Also, the motor purely runs on electricity. So, no battery recycling or disposal is required.
Conclusion
Merely eliminating the need to operate a landing gear manually provides one less opportunity for a shoulder or other muscular-skeletal injuries while assuring the safety of the drivers at the workplace. This is why Patriot Lift Company, LLC- the most preferred organization- has designed a highly effective air-powered landing gear to maintain safety and increase the level of contentment for the truckers.
