Ancra International has added the Retract-A-Roll 3 to its cargo securement product offering.
Bringing aircraft technology to the trailer market, Ancra says the Retract-A-Roll is state-of-the-art in pneumatic roller track system for new and used trailers.
According to Ancra, the pneumatic roller track systems are powered by the pneumatics off a truck’s existing air supply, and are built to take abuse of forklifts and instantly convert back to a flat floor for general freight. In addition, all Retract-A-Roll systems are manufactured with safety interlock. Ancra says this means if an operator forgets to lower the rollers, a backup safety control value automatically lowers rollers when the vehicles brakes are released, keeping a load secure while in transit and keeping employees safe by limited any shift in cargo.
Additionally, Retract-A-Roll system controls are centralized in an easy to access, weatherproof container, making operation easy and safe. The controls can be easily operated with: one value to raise and lower, a factory preset pressure regulator, a liquid filled pressure gauge, an auxiliary air input and track isolation valves. Ancra says the centralized controls help users significantly reduce operation time to quickly get move cargo where it needs to go.
The Retract-A-Roll 3 features a heavy-duty top plate with a dual skate wheel design and a high-strength, 11-gauge stamped steel top plate has a galvanized finish to fight corrosion. Ancra also says the dual skate wheel design results in a smaller opening in the top plate to help prevent any debris from entering and puncturing the air bag, lowering maintenance cost and downtime. In addition, the air bags in the Retract-A-Roll 3 use larger diameter air lines to increase deflation speeds, the company says.
