• Purkeys provides space-saving nosebox

    See how Purkeys' DIRECT line puts nosebox and liftgate charging system in one convenient receptacle.
    Jan. 29, 2018

    One of the challenges faced by heavy-duty trucking fleets is the lack of space of the front of the trailer. With more and more products on the market to contend for a position on the front of the trailer, consolidation becomes key.

    The DIRECT nosebox line (the DIRECT PLUS, DIRECT FLEX, and DIRECT MAX), developed by Purkeys, allows fleets to use the functionality of both the nosebox and liftgate charging system in one convenient receptacle, freeing up much-needed space on the front of the trailer.

    This nosebox line provides many benefits to fleets in addition to the compact design, including:

    •Providing peace of mind by maintaining and protecting batteries

    •Saving money by maximizing battery life and reducing downtime/road calls

    •Easy-to-read LED indicators

    •Continuing to charge for a time after the tractor is turned off

    •Replaceable/removable receptacle in case of damage

    •Interior light timer control

    The interior light control is an additional feature added since the product line was announced. It allows the driver to select whether the lights remain on for 30, 60, or 90 minutes, allowing the driver to work as needed inside the trailer while ensuring that the batteries will not become depleted by the interior lights.
