What is the Razor drive semi-trailer automation kit?
The Razor drive semi-trailer automation kit is an ultramodern, electrically controlled system for raising and lowering landing legs in semi-trailers and rigid trucks. Using remote control technology and calibrated electronic intelligence, the Razor kit helps truckers save manpower and time by automating landing leg processes.
The Razor’s electric, motor-driven attachment raises or lowers landing gear at the touch of a button. Powered by a 12-volt battery, it works on a wide range of compatible trailers and trucks. The Razor kit employs pressure sensors to move landing legs into a precise position, stopping automatically at the bottom or top of the lift.
With its easy assembly, installation, and operation, the Razor kit is a high-performing tool that cuts back considerably on a trucker’s risk of physical injuries. Occupational safety is one of the most significant issues facing the future of the trucking industry, and the Razor kit is built specifically to address truck operator health on the job.
Razor drive automated semi-trailer landing legs’ easy assembly and installation
The Razor kit for automated semi-trailer landing legs includes:
● The Delta Drive, an electric motor attachment that raises and lowers landing legs
● The Razor power kit, supplying power with a low-maintenance, 12-volt battery
● A torque arm
● A hardware kit for routine maintenance
The Razor Drive is easily retrofitted to work on all major brands of semi-trailer landing gear, replacing the notoriously tedious hand crank for lifting and lowering legs. The entirely self-contained battery power unit is rechargeable using the semi-trailer’s electrical system, and the optional remote control makes using the Razor drive as close to automatic as possible. A typical installation usually takes between 30 and 40 minutes.
Razor drive semi-trailer automation’s easy operation
The Razor kit is extremely simple to use with either manual or remote control. The unit retrofits to any brand of landing leg, securing the drive to the landing leg with a torque arm.
Once installed, a trucking professional simply pushes a button to raise or lower the landing leg. They can choose to keep the Delta Drive running until it automatically shuts off at the bottom or top of the leg, or easily program the device to run over 20-second intervals.
Mounting the battery pack in a convenient spot on the truck’s exterior makes it easy to access, and it can be recharged from the truck’s own energy supply. With the optional remote control, a trucker can raise or lower their landing legs anywhere along the perimeter of the truck.
The Razor drive offers truckers a trouble-free, safe, and fast way to complete one of the more time-consuming, difficult tasks in interstate trucking, letting truckers get back to the business of easing commerce and generating profits.
How Razor Drive Semi-Trailer Automation works
The Razor Drive retrofits to landing gear of any brand. It’s powered by a 12-volt battery and operates both manually and with an optional wireless controller.
The unit offers superior performance in both high and low gear. In high gear, the Razor Drive uses pressure sensors to raise or lower the landing leg at the push of a button. Moving an inch every few seconds, the Razor Drive automatically stops at the top or bottom of the lift.
The low gear operation of the Razor Drive is based on time and is powerful enough to lift the entire weight of the semi-trailer. The operator pushes a button once for every 20 seconds (or 10 revolutions) of operation.
To move between high and low gear, the operator repositions the Razor Drive with the landing leg—closer for high gear, further away for low. Shifting the Razor Drive between gears is easy and safe.
Benefits of the Razor Drive for automated semi-trailer landing legs
- Safer for drivers. The Razor Drive’s automated technology lifts and lowers landing gear without the use of hand cranks, making it easier to use without the risk of physical injury or back issues. Its safety features make changing between low and high gears trouble-free and secure, guarding against injuries to hands or knuckles. The optional wireless controller helps the driver lower or raise semi-trailers in tight spaces or on the side of a busy road to reduce the chance of accident and injury.
- More efficient. The Razor Drive improves productivity by eliminating most of the manual operation in gear lifting, saving drivers the expenses of time and effort. It also allows drivers to finish other tasks, which increases long-term cost-efficiency and supports compliance. The Razor Drive’s heavy duty lifting capacity makes it an ideal choice for high-powered needs.
- User-friendly. A compact, convenient keypad takes the guesswork out of operating the Razor Drive—it only takes a couple of touches to set the unit in motion. Its lightweight, simple design makes the Razor Drive easy to store, position, and place.
- Works with all landing legs. No matter what equipment your truck uses, the Razor Drive works with it. Razor International supplies kits and torque arms to make the Razor Drive fit with all major brands and sizes of landing legs.
