Need to adjust your trailer tandem
settings? A tandem or trailer locking pin locator is designed to assist
with
making the adjustments while saving time and money. Professional truck
drivers who use this product are encouraged to review it below.
Vicki
has permission from the inventor of this device,
Arnold Diehl, to publish the image from his website, CommandElectronics.com,
so that you may see
how it works. We have edited it slightly to fit on this page.
According to the image, the four steps involved with
using this item are as follows:
Pull it
Adjust switch inward until light comes on
Place it
Slide trailer, stop when light comes on.
It can be a bit difficult to understand how it works
until you see the video:
Mr. Diehl states that his device helps professional
truck drivers save
time and money when sliding trailer tandems to axle out loads to make
them legal.
Here's a typical scenario:
A driver scales out a load and knows that the weights
on
the drive axles and trailer axles need to be adjusted. The adjustment
may be only a few holes.
How many times after doing an initial pull of the
trailer's tandem release arm does a driver have to repeat this
process --
get out of the cab,
check on the setting,
get back in the cab, and
slide the trailer tandems more
-- until the setting is right and the release arm can
be
locked into place?
Every time a driver enters or exits his/her truck,
he/she risks a slip
and fall. Not only that but the truck is burning fuel idling or working
to move the trailer tandems the whole time.
This trailer locking pin locator (Generation II) uses an
LED lighting
system to tell you when to stop sliding the trailer.
