LED light: Smart Vision Lights, a designer and manufacturer of high-brightness LED
lights for industrial applications, has introduced a linear light, the LXE300.
The LXE300 series, which delivers up to
100,0000 lux, features a metal housing and
includes the company’s built-in Multi-Drive
driver, allowing the light to operate continuously or in OverDrive strobe mode. The Multi-Drive also protects the LEDs from premature
degradation and failure caused by excessive
heat by regulating the current delivered to the
LEDs and by limiting their duty cycle.
Other features include the ability to connect up to six lights directly (end to end,
with no spacing between the lights) to create
uniform-output long linear lights for a fraction of the cost of a monolithic light. Users
can also daisy-chain up to six LXE300 lights
using a locking jumper cable to support different multilight configurations. (Smart Vision

Loading ramps: National Fleet Products, a
North American supplier of loading ramps
and other aftermarket accessories for commercial vehicles, has introduced several
versions of its WM System loading ramps.
Designed as a low-cost, maintenance-free
alternative to hydraulic liftgates, WM System
ramps are suitable for a wide array of vehicle
applications, including vans, box trucks, Class
8 trailers, and service and delivery vehicles.
The ramps are engineered to vertically stow
just inside rear- and side-access doors and
take up approximately 8. 5 inches of depth
when folded and locked. With their built-in
spring-assist feature and sturdy side handles,
they require only about 20 pounds of force
and about five seconds to unfold or be folded back into their low-profile vertical storage
position.
The ramps each incorporate a swivel-action
mechanism that enables them to swing 90
degrees in and out like a door, allowing users
to have unfettered vehicle access when the
ramp is not in use. Vehicle-specific mounting
plates are available for all major platform
makes and models, and installation can be
completed in as little as two hours.
WM System loading ramps come in
two-panel configurations in lengths ranging
from 98 to 128 inches, and three-panel configurations in lengths of up to 16 feet. Ramp
ends have rollers and adjustable flaps that
can accommodate a wide variety of surface
angles and textures. (National Fleet Products,

Oval worklights: TVH in the Americas has added two new oval LED worklights
to its inventory: the SYLED1350 and SYLED1800. The company says oval-shaped
worklights are suitable for narrow spaces on utility vehicles or machinery where
round and square lights won’t fit.
The 1350 and 1800 series are both equipped with 12 to 24 volts, aluminum
housing, polycarbonate lenses, stainless-steel mounting hardware, and spot or
flood beam patterns. The company says the lights can last more than 30,000 hours.
The 1350 series features six LEDs, 1350 lumens, and 18 watts. The 1800 series
has eight LEDs, 1800 lumens, and 24 watts. (TVH in the Americas, www.tvh.com)
