Efficiency and control are essential in managing multiple trailers within the transportation industry. Telemation, a leading provider of automation and control solutions, offers two innovative options: the Universal Trailer System and High Power Systems. Let’s explore the features of each system and discover how they revolutionise trailer control.

Telemation’s High Power Systems feature a high-powered remote control capable of communicating with up to 4 trailers. This eliminates the need for long air lines and electrical connections, minimising the potential for loose, fouled, or broken connections. By simply pressing the ON/SELECT button on the remote, users can choose the desired trailer number, which is indicated by a corresponding LED at the top of the remote. This system allows for precise control of individual trailer functions through local hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic controls using solenoids. It offers a reliable and efficient solution for managing multiple trailers.

On the other hand, Telemation’s Universal Trailer System takes control to new heights by offering additional functionality through in-built vehicle sensors. It provides opportunities to connect to the ABS system, allowing for the display of alarms and other important information. Regardless of the type of control (electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic), the Universal Trailer System can seamlessly manage a combination of trailers from different manufacturers. Equipped with a touch-screen display HMI computer in the cab, users have complete control over systems and access to sensor data from around the vehicle. Furthermore, the Universal Trailer System offers the option to integrate a CAN receiver, enabling remote control of each trailer. Safety interlocks, such as ensuring open tarps before tilting and inclinometers to measure tilt angles, provide an added layer of safety. The system can even integrate GPS data via 4G, CANbus, and other sensors, offering advanced tracking and storage capabilities.

While both systems offer efficient control for multiple trailers, there are notable differences. Telemation’s High Power Systems excel in their simplicity and effectiveness, minimizing the need for complex air lines and electrical connections. They are ideal for businesses seeking a reliable and straightforward solution. On the other hand, the Universal Trailer System provides advanced functionality, leveraging in-built vehicle sensors and the ability to integrate with various control systems. This comprehensive system offers a wide range of capabilities, making it an excellent choice for businesses that require enhanced control and data integration.

Ultimately, the choice between the Universal Trailer System and High Power Systems depends on your specific requirements and preferences. Telemation’s team of experienced engineers can guide you in selecting the best solution to optimize your trailer management operations.
