Phillips Permalogic

The Permalogic Selector System from Phillips Industries is now available for more applications. It can be included in the Phillips i-Box housing and as a component of the new Sta-Dry S7 swivel electrical socket recently introduced for tractor/trailer combinations operating in tight maneuvering environments.

Originally developed for refrigerated freight carriers with heavy-cycle liftgates, it’s now available in the Phillips’ i-Box housing that’s said to have two thirds more room than traditional noseboxes with a lower profile specifically for reefer applications. It intelligently selects between the tractor (via dual pole) or the trailer’s reefer unit as a source of power to charge the liftgate batteries to capacity, ensuring no downtime due to lack of power. The system will automatically shut off if it senses a problem with the reefer’s electrical system and will not cause any out-of-balance issues with either the reefer unit or the tractor.

Phillips’ Sta-Dry S7 socket, can now include the standard Permalogic dome lamp controller and TC liftgate battery-charging system. Both are all-weather, all-electronic controllers that manage power from available sources to save the life of the batteries and to reduce road-call expenses. The Sta-Dry S7 swivel system allows air and electrical cables to simply follow the truck even when the truck/trailer combination is required to move in tandem at severe angles.
