COLD START PACKAGE
Espar Heater Systems’ Sure Start package includes the company’s Hydronic 5 Coolant Heater and Hot Foxes from Arctic Fox. Espar developed the package in response to concerns about the ability to start engines in cold weather, given the use of ultra-low-sulfur diesel and, in some cases, biodiesel. The new package heats the engine and fuel tanks, including the fuel being delivered to the engine and heater.

TIPPING PLATFORM
The sidewall design of the Genesis tipping platform transfer trailer eliminates the need for a center bar or pipe to bridge the sidewalls or a midsection across the top. Without a crossbar in the way, trailers can be loaded faster, cleaner and more efficiently, with a more even load distribution. The tipper’s extruded sidewall panels, floor-to-wall junction and heavy-duty top rail add the extra strength needed to keep wall flexing to a minimum.

The side turn design features two Lumileds Luxeon LEDs that, when combined with jeweled reflectors, are effective at placing light where needed. The inner lens array is designed to optimize output while eliminating the need for additional LEDs.
