AN AMERICAN

BULLDOG

Finally, the right baler at the right price. The American 3560 CD is a stout machine designed and built with the quality you’d expect from American. It’s been created especially for distribution centers, low volume recycling centers and other facilities that need a reliable small baler. It’s compact and powerful like a Bulldog and a true performer in its class. With the vision and tenacity of an eagle, American Baler takes performance to new heights. Proudly built in Bellevue, Ohio, USA.

LED truck headlamps: Optronics International has introduced its most advanced Opti-Brite LED headlamps. The new LED headlamps feature advanced retroflective LED technology engineered to emit a wider, brighter beam for increased visibility and safety, and an eye-catching LED conspicuity array that enhances the lamps’ style and appearance.

Optronics’ new LED headlamps come in three formats that cover a wide range of vehicle makes and models. The HLL93HLB series fits a seven-inch round format and has both high- and low-beam functions built in. The HLL79HB high-beam lamps and HLL78LB low-beam lamps fit four- by six-inch rectangular formats and are compatible with four-lamp systems with separate, dedicated high-beam and low-beam lamps.

The new Opti-Brite LED headlamps are designed to allow users to easily upgrade their headlamps from standard halogen and HID sealed-beam to a higher-performing and longer-lasting LED light source. The lamps use standard H4 three-blade connectors, and it takes just minutes to convert any vehicle with compatible headlamps to the new LED technology.

All lamps are engineered to accommodate both 12- and 24-volt electrical systems. The new lamps have an expected service life of

30,000 hours, 15 to 30 times that of halogen and HID headlamps. (Optronics International, www.optronicsinc.com)

Enhanced battery monitors: Advanced Charging Technologies (ACT) has extended the capabilities of its BATTview battery monitors by adding data integration functionality between BATTview units and Quantum chargers. Data integration allows both Quantum chargers and BATTview units to optimize charge cycle communications in addition to scheduling and delivering precise equalization cycles and tracking charge cycle termination conditions. This allows for better overall diagnosis of charger and battery performance issues.

BATTview battery monitors provide a cost-effective solution for monitoring industrial battery performance. Easy to install, each unit features an innovative combo probe with integrated battery temperature and water-lev-el sensors. All BATTview units effectively measure critical battery parameters, including voltage, current, electrolyte temperature, water level, and state of charge. BATTview units also log and store operational data.

Equipped with wireless communications, BATTview supports wireless cloud integration as well as remote monitoring and control.

Data is easily uploaded to ACT’s ACTview cloud application, where users can centrally manage all battery assets, analyze operational data, optimize battery and fleet performance, generate performance reports, and troubleshoot battery issues.

BATTview units also feature power line communication (PLC), which enables direct communication with Quantum battery chargers via charging cables and eliminates the need for more expensive connectors with auxiliary contacts.

BATTview battery monitors are UL/cUL certified, meeting the most stringent ANSI/ UL 583 standard for safety for electric battery-powered industrial trucks. (Advanced Charging Technologies, www.act-chargers.com)
