    Reach and visibility from SENNEBOGEN 835

    Marc Pozan was frustrated!
    The owner and President of two scrap metal facilities near Chicago, Pozan had issues to resolve with his material handling machines as well as plans to upgrade his fleet – but he hadn’t seen or heard from his local dealer in months. “Service issues and a lack of responsiveness to my questions were the main reasons for looking elsewhere,” said Pozan. 
    A family-run business for 60 years, Belson Steel Center Scrap Inc. is a 16-acre scrap metal yard in Bourbonnais, IL. The business is complimented by Chicago Heights Processing, a specialty scrap processing and recycling operation. Between the two facilities, Pozan maintains a fleet of eight scrap handlers. Part of his plan to maintain his production levels and to meet the ongoing requirements of his major customers was to upgrade his fleet. For that, Pozan decided, he would have to find someone new.
    So he went shopping.

  • CVSE Initiates Stakeholder Engagement On Electronic Logging Devices

    In April of 2020, Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement (CVSE) invited stakeholders to provide feedback on the modernizing of safety regulations for Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV’s). Specifically, as of June 12, 2021, commercial vehicles that cross provincial borders must be  Equipped with an Electronic Logging Device (ELD). In response to these changes to the Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations, the province will need to decide what the requirements will be for CMVs operating within BC.
    The Log Truck Technical Advisory Committee (LTTAC), an industry-based group comprised of log hauling contractors, provincial agencies, FP Innovations, RCMP and the BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) met via teleconference on April 21, 2020 to discuss the groups’ perspective on the implementation of ELDs in the log hauling sector. Members unanimously supported the implementation of ELD’s and their aim of improving safety in the sector.
    Although there are some concerns regarding monthly subscription costs and data privacy, the members were primarily focused on the safety benefits. Working collectively with licensees to support contractors and drivers in compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) can only assist industry as it continues its commitment and collaboration to reduce log hauling incidents.  
    The LTTAC is committed to working with the Trucking Harvesting Advisory Group (TAG) to support drivers and contractors to reduce this risk. For log hauling, industry needs to adapt to support the notion that drivers should not be working more than 15 hours in a day, the maximum duty day for log hauling, and in fact, should be targeting fewer than 15 hours to be practical.
    As an industry committed to improving safety in log hauling operations, we need to ensure drivers have plenty of time to fulfill their duty day even when things don’t go as planned without bumping into the 15 hour maximum. Pressure, resulting in rushing, can be a challenging problem in the sector. Until trucking contractors have confidence that cycle times will be realistically established, and not just under ideal conditions, and that they can approach the licensee with real data (such as is available from ELDs) with the expectation of cycles being adjusted accordingly, safety will continue to be an issue. ELD’s will help support trucking contractors and drivers with these issues.

  • Eaton’s Vehicle Group Adds Power Takeoff “Wet Kits” To Bezares Mobile Power Portfolio

     Eaton’s new “wet kit” packages simplify ordering by including all the Power Takeoff (PTO) components needed for end-dump applications into a single part number.

    Power management company Eaton has introduced new “wet kit” packages for end-dump applications supporting the Bezares line of Power Takeoff (PTO) units that fit popular Eaton Fuller and Eaton Cummins Endurant transmissions. Bezares SA is a global manufacturer of PTOs, hydraulic pumps, fittings, tanks, valves and other related mobile power hydraulic components.
    The wet kits simplify ordering by including all the components needed into a single part number. Wet kits are installed on medium- and heavy-duty trucks with accessories such as booms and cranes that need hydraulic pumps to operate. The wet kit’s hydraulic pump is activated by the truck's transmission.
    Each wet kit includes a PTO with Viton seals and Garlock gaskets for easier installation and fewer leaks, a high-quality roller bearing dump pump for reliability, and an aluminum tank for lighter weight. Compiling all the needed components in one kit streamlines installation, which saves time when compared to ordering a system with individual parts and numbers.
    “Eaton’s PTO wet kits are a simple solution to a complex problem that provides our customers with a turnkey solution for end-dump applications,” said Tim Bauer, vice president, Aftermarket, Eaton’s Vehicle Group. “Our goal is to make life easier for users by providing everything they need. We’ve already done the homework for them.”
    Many of the kit’s components allow end users to configure the hydraulic systems to individual customer or application needs, such as a 50-gallon aluminum tank, which can be mounted either behind the cab or with a round side mount. A direct-mount air shift dump pump can be used with both two- and three-line systems.
    The kits are immediately available for shipment and can be ordered through Eaton mobile power distributors. All kits come complete with all the hardware and components needed for seamless installation. Additional information on Eaton’s PTO Wet Kit.
    Eaton reached a distribution agreement with Bezares SA in 2019 to become the North American master distributor for its mobile power hydraulic portfolio. In addition to distribution services, Eaton also provides post-sale service and support for the PTOs through its extensive Roadranger field team.

  • Smarter Fleet Operations Begin With Staying Connected

    Fleet connectivity and remote monitoring has never been more important, or more valuable, than now. With the world’s pandemic challenges, fleets have been forced to re-think service offerings and practices in order to limit contact with customers and equipment. At the same time, the requirements of keeping products safe throughout the cold chain – and providing the necessary proof points, is vital to all involved. This includes the communities depending on the essentials to be delivered safely and the fleets relying on each successful delivery to protect profits.

    Protecting The Load
    Thermo King’s TracKing® telematics is a 4G LTE temperature and asset management system that is part of the company’s ConnectedSuite™ product line. It not only offers real-time visibility into the location and status of assets, but it also increases fleet efficiencies by detecting potential issues, determining maintenance actions, offering remote communication with the refrigeration unit controller, and delivering the information customers and regulatory agencies demand.
    Is the unit on? What’s the temperature set-point? Was the temperature maintained throughout the journey? Was security breached with an unauthorized door opening? Telematics takes the guesswork out of temperature compliance, cargo traceability and security. Temperature reports and graphs, unit fuel levels, door sensor data and cargo tracking is available instantly, with a push of a button or with a real-time alarm. The advantages are clear: a constant view of fleet operations provides efficiencies and proof of compliance when it comes to required load and shipment parameters. The proof is in the data, ensuring that both the load and your business is protected.

    Limiting Physical Touch
    “TracKing can be activated remotely. It can offer data and diagnostic information remotely. It can communicate remotely with drivers and technicians via BlueTooth technology. There is no need to physically touch the unit unless it is deemed necessary – either in the form of immediate action due to cargo risk, or the scheduling of a service appointment for general maintenance,” said Rod Castro, strategic account manager—telematics for Thermo King.
    Fundamentally, telematics is designed to give valuable remote visibility of assets to fleets and customers alike, ensuring cargo is safe throughout the cold chain. The value of that visibility – through the availability of 24/7 data, has grown exponentially throughout the past months as fleets work to maintain demanding transport schedules while protecting drivers, service shops and customers from unneeded personal contact with equipment and each other. Telematics provides the answers needed to elevate uptime, anticipate issues and proactively – and safely, plan for the unexpected.   
    TracKing is standard on all 2018 or newer Thermo King trailer units, as well as the latest T-90 Series of truck units, and all include a free, 90-day subscription of TracKing telematics solutions which includes: two-way commands, remote service watch downloads, asset location, temperature data, and more than 100 critical data fields from the refrigeration unit. Taking remote support a step further, Thermo King representatives offer free demo sessions of the innovative telematics solution through a webinar tool accessible from any computer.
