A technology company was concerned about their load-hauling truck drivers having to climb to the top of their trailers to open and close the lids, especially during inclement weather. They installed ASCO Numatics cylinders and reed switches to address the problem. The cylinders help open the top flip and slide hatches while the reed switch indicates open or closed. The automated systems helps to reduce risky climbs and drivers can confirm the hatch positions through the reed switch. Deliveries can be made quicker and the company feels they have helped decrease driver risk.
