Kinedyne is introducing its redesigned head assembly trigger mechanism and beam adjustment tool for its Kaptive Beam Decking System next week at the 2017 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Exhibition in Nashville, Tenn.
Kinedyne says its Kaptive Beam Decking System enables customers to increase profits by increasing trailer load capacities by as much as 50 percent. With Kaptive Beam, customers can immediately reduce run schedules and the number of tractors, trailers and drivers required to move freight, all while significantly improving the capacity of every load a fleet moves.
“Through research, field testing and a focus on continuous improvement, we’ve made the Kaptive Beam Decking System even better,” says Paul Wolford, vice president of sales and marketing for Kinedyne. “With the new high-performance head assembly trigger mechanism, beam adjustment tool and Train the Trainer Program, users will find our system more valuable than ever.”
The new head assembly trigger profile interfaces with the revised, grooved head design of the beam adjustment tool, making the system’s operation much more smooth and efficient, Kinedyne says. The trigger now features an angled lip that enables the beam adjustment tool to make a more secure connection, making locking, unlocking and adjustment of beam height easier, the company adds.
The system’s foot and guide shoe components are made of rugged anodized aluminum, and the locking pawl is made of steel. Kinedyne says head assemblies with the new high-performance locking trigger design can be purchased separately and can replace existing head assemblies on any older K2 model Kaptive Beam Decking System.
The beam adjustment tool also has been lengthened to 54 in. and now comes with a convenient storage mounting bracket. Kinedyne says the tool is used to raise and lower the individual beams and is designed to enable the user to reach and manipulate the beams whether they are already deployed or stored at the ceiling height of the trailers they serve.
