Tectran introduces two new tailgate air cylinder kits, ideal for dump truck fleets, end-dump trailer operations, repair shops, body builders and vocational truck and trailer operations.
The two kits are for a heavy-duty solenoid tailgate kit and a standard solenoid tailgate kit.
“Manually operating tailgate latches can take extra time, create unnecessary wear on equipment and put operators in less convenient or less safe positions,” the company says. “Tectran Tailgate Air Cylinder Kits help simplify the process by allowing the tailgate latch to be opened and closed using air power — with solenoid-operated options that can be controlled from inside the cab.
“This helps improve driver convenience, reduce downtime and support more efficient hauling and dumping operations.”
The company says benefits of the new kits include:
- Reduce the need to manual latch operation with available in-cab control
- Simplified connections help reduce installation time
- Built for demanding dump truck and end-dump applications
- Multiple kit options for different truck setups
- Durable construction built to resist corrosion and harsh weather
- Reduced shop time with select pre-installed hardware
