Lucidity is looking to leverage on the success of its EBS Status Lamp Kit – which the market has taken a significant liking to – with the launch of its brand-new EBS Socket Duplicator and EBS Junction Box for lead trailers and dollies.
The external EBS Junction Box features small-footprint mounting feet supplied with fasteners for easy fitting and two 4mm-squared and four 1.5mm-squared cables for road train applications. And, according to Lucidity Australia President, Mathew Jenkins, the new IP67-rated products will look to be industry standard EBS cable connectors.
“The idea is to continue to grow the range of quality made EBS materials, making the interconnects completely modular and easy to repeat every time you build a trailer,” he says. “In Australia we do have a unique way of wiring the range of trailers and these two items help to service that niche.”
Also new to the Lucidity EBS range are the 12- and 24-volt EBS pre-wired sockets, which, when paired with Lucidity’s cable kits or splitter boxes, can reportedly reduce socket replacement times from hours to just a few moments.
The bayonet connector – moulded on the short tail from the prewired socket – connects directly to Lucidity’s cable or junction box systems. Mathew claims that this takes all the duress out of a socket replacement.
“Worn sockets are usually not replaced when necessary as it is an inconvenience,” he says. “That is until now. Replacing the sockets fast and 100 per cent correctly can be done by anyone, and you can repair the worn part on the bench when you aren’t under pressure to send equipment out on the road.”
Mathew also recommends keeping a few of these items in the workshop as well as rotating them through repair cycles.
“It’s cheap and simple, and if done prior to a failure it will save costly repairs on the side of the road,” he says.
Lucidity Australia has, once again, delivered another innovative solution to the transport industry.
