The Edscha TS E-Drive is controlled as standard via a switch on the trailer, in the driver’s cabin or via radio. Its low current consumption (< 20A at 24V) makes the Edscha TS E-Drive unique on the market and it is the first to allow connection to an existing on-board network without additional wiring to the towing vehicle. This leaves enough energy for an optional work light connection.
The drive is achieved via an adjustable capstan winch and is decoupled from the tarpaulin function. As a result, the system is safe at all times, works almost wear-free and, in the event the need arises, the manual emergency function is easy to use. The patent pending, modular concept developed with the TipperRoof can be adapted to fit different bodies. A control system for use with hydraulic tailgates is provided. Versions for other roof types are planned for the future.
