Heavy Duty Trucking, February 2018

HDT FEBRUARY 2018 56 WWW TRUCKINGINFO COM 2018 Accuride Rolliant Hub System 1 The Accuride Rolliant Hub System was developed in response to industry demand for a more affordable hub system that was easy to install and maintain and could last the life of both trucks and trailers Accuride says its the first long life low maintenance hub system to come with a 10 year warranty for trailer applications and a seven year warranty for trucks Its patent pending technology maintains tight wheel bearing tolerances for safe reliable performance preventing premature tire wear wheel seal failure and premature bearing failure Ancra Cargo Security Divider and Deck Board 2 Ancra Cargo is offering a Security Divider and Deck Board designed to keep freight separated and secure while in transit The lightweight panels can be configured for use as a deck board or secure bulkhead The highdensity polyethylene panels are lighter than plywood sheets and wont splinter The Security Divider and Deck Board can be used with lockable E Beams to provide a secure load divider for different load combinations The panels have hand slots to improve ergonomics Designed to offer both cargo theft prevention and protection from cargo damage while in transit the dual use of the Security Divider and Deck Board offers versatility in cargo carrying capacity supporting double decked loads when needed Carrier Transicold 35X 3 Carrier Transicolds model 35X direct drive unit provides an economical and environmentally friendly refrigeration option for perishable and frozen cargo in small to medium sized box trucks and large delivery vans Producing up to 10500 Btu at 35 degrees the 35X includes an exterior mounted condenser unit for the nose of a box truck or the roof of a van a compressor that mounts to the truck engine and a narrowprofile SlimLine evaporator that fits tightly to the ceiling of the cargo area helping to maximize cargo space Cummins X12 engine 4 Cummins says its X12 12 liter engine to be available this spring will boast the highest powerto weight ratio in the industry Targeted at vocational regional and weight sensitive bulk haul applications its 600 lbs lighter than the closest 13L engine and 150 lbs lighter than the closest 11L engine according to the company The X12 is a clean slate design from the oil pan up It was engineered to be a robust lightweight high output engine using composites and advanced structural concepts to provide the needed strength without adding unnecessary weight Daimler Trucks North America Detroit DD8 engine 5 Aimed at vocational truck markets the Detroit DD8 is a 77L in line 6 cylinder medium duty engine offering 260 to 350 hp and 660 to 1050 lb ft of torque The DD8 expands on the Detroit mediumduty platform launched with the DD5 Daimler says the engine offers industry leading fuel efficiency and maintenance intervals The DD8 will launch with both engine and transmission power take off options required for many vocational applications Dana lightweight driveshafts 6 Danas SPL 350 Lite and SPL 250 Lite driveshafts are designed to be a lightweight option addressing some challenges of todays downsped driveline applications where the lower numeric axle ratios can cause significant stress to the drivetrain and alter harmonics in driveline components Designed with fewer components to reduce weight and enable faster installation the driveshaft series has been engineered for reduced noise vibration harshness levels improved performance and improved vehicle dynamics without compromising strength resulting in extended component life and reduced maintenance while reducing weight by 25 to 35 pounds
