IAA Transportation 2024: Pommier demonstrates how underrun protection works electrically
Underride protection, latches, and handles in various versions – Pommier will focus on these from September 17 to 22, 2024, at the IAA Transportation in Hanover. In addition to the range of hydraulically operated underride protection, the manufacturer announces the new electric solution E-Xpand. According to Pommier, it is easy to install and retrofittable.
The electric underride guard is manufactured and pre-assembled in Dives-sur-Mer, France, and then customized for vehicles ranging from 8 to 40 tons. For vehicles that do not have an integrated hydraulic system, it is a full-fledged alternative, the manufacturer states. Since it is not necessary to install an independent hydraulic system for the operation of the underride guard, installation costs can be reduced. At the very least, there is no need to lay a hydraulic line to the rear of the vehicle.
The limit switches are integrated into the electric cylinders to avoid assembly and adjustment work and to save time. Additionally, the operator can control the underride guard without leaving the vehicle cabin. If necessary, the hydraulic underride guard Xpand P42 can also be retrofitted with the electric components from Pommier.
Like the hydraulic version, the E-Xpand also consists of a cathodic dip coated steel body. It offers up to four different extension lengths and various types of tubes: round steel tube, rectangular profile from steel and aluminum, and aluminum lighting profile. In the development of the kinematics, the adapter part, and the interface, the manufacturer has particularly focused on the thermal heating and extension speed of the electric cylinder to improve reliability and lifespan.
Door handle Torseo UL-X with remote control
Improvements are also planned for the Torseo 16 UL-X door handle. In the future, this setup will also feature HMO remote control technology, allowing the locking and unlocking of the turn rods via remote control. This is intended to enhance comfort and safety, especially in small city delivery vehicles.
Torseo 16 UL - Electric functions perfectly concealed
As a patented innovation, Pommier announces the Torseo 16 UL with HMO technology. The electromechanical system is directly integrated into the motorized handle Torseo 16 UL and thus invisible. According to Pommier, this has advantages particularly in thermal insulation, as no foam needs to be removed for panel installation. The electromechanical device for closing and opening the handle is controlled via remote control. In case of need, opening can be done manually with the original key of the handle. For maintenance and repair work, the HMO module can be easily dismantled without interfering with the door.
Handles and Locks
At the trade fair, the complete range of mounted and pre-assembled rotating bar locks from Pommier will also be on display, both in push and pull versions, for superstructures or installations, for commercial vehicles, industrial vehicles or trailers. According to the announcement, all types of locks for dry and refrigerated superstructures as well as shelters will be shown. In their design, Pommier places special emphasis on the ergonomic design of the handles. The pull kinematics of the Twim and Torseo 16 UL handles allow the doors to be opened with just one hand, it says. A specially developed mechanism ensures that the handles can be operated quietly with a noise level below 60 dB in accordance with the Piek noise protection standard.
Three types of locks with padlock, electromechanical operation or cylinder lock are available. An anti-theft device, which is compatible exclusively with Pommier bolts and openers, provides additional security for the doors. The reinforced structure of the handles also withstands the intense mechanical stresses of goods transport and guarantees a long service life, according to the manufacturer. A special locking mechanism ensures that the door remains closed permanently even under difficult conditions.
