New trailers with added safeguards.
|
|
ICTS has recently delivered new trailers, equipped with the WABCO TailGUARD 3 system, Hydraroll roller bed and a SBS Turtle lock.
The TailGUARD system detects large and small, moving and stationary objects in the blind spot behind the trailer, hereby reducing risks when backing up. This system also makes docking easier for the driver, as it automatically stops the trailer at a safe distance from the dock.
The Hydraroll roller beds have been added to facilitate loading and unloading air cargo pallets. The floor is divided in 4 sections. Each section is equipped with pallet stops so pallets can be secured. The air cargo megatrailers concerned are also equipped with a Concorde roof, which enables the transportation of two jumbo pallets and two standard air cargo pallets.
The SBS turtle lock on the trailers provides extra anti-theft protection.
For more information about the TailGUARD system, visit WABCO’s website at www.wabco-auto.com.
