AEROMATIC® is an Auto-Adjust Cab Roof Deflector which self-adjusts to suit different trailer heights. Every 200mm of exposed trailer height costs 3% in fuel. So if the trailer front is streamlined with a correctly adjusted air management kit, the potential fuel saving is 3%. By this means, AEROMATIC® can give a return on investment within a few months depending on your operation. Our sales team can work the ROI out for your fleet based on trailer sizes and annual miles etc.
How does it work?
- There is no driver input required!
- The ignition activates a laser sensor in the rear of the deflector.
- The tractor reverses up to the trailer and the laser sees the trailer
- A signal is sent to the actuator to lift.
- As the deflector elevates, the laser beam lifts until it gets past the top of the trailer, then stops and slightly lowers for the optimum height
- The deflector stays in the elevated position until the tractor un-couples from the trailer
- When the tractor pulls away, the laser sensor sends a signal to the actuator to lower to the deflector to its base position – ready for the next trailer
