Put Pivotal Edge to Work For You
You will soon wonder how you ever got by without it. Your load speed will increase, your injury rate will decrease, and your competition will wonder why they are eating your dust!
Control multiple covers from a single control box
A single control box, housed in a stainless steel enclosure, can be configured to control from 1 to 4 covers.
The Pivotal Edge is an automated safety system designed for the bulk material industry.
The system can be added to many types of containers such as large bulk truck trailers, storage silos, rail cars and more.
The Pivotal Edge allows the cover or hatch of the container to be operated from the ground as opposed to the need to climb and manually open/close the container.
The system is entirely pneumatic, or air-operated.
Installation of the Pivotal Edge requires minimal modifications for a standard 20” opening.
Multiple mounting configurations are available.
The system can operate up to 4 covers per container from a single control point.
A pressure rating of 0-36PSI (0-2.5 BAR) means a weather-tight seal is maintained even if the container pressure drops to zero.

trailer modifications.
Installation is usually completed in less than 4 man-hours. The cover bolts to existing trailer hardware and air is supplied from the trailer reserve tank. With no electrical connections to contend with, the installations can be done by any service shop. We have taken great strides to provide a cover that can be serviced for years to come, with replaceable bushings to cylinders that can be rebuilt, protected air-line connections, and dedicated air-line routing paths. All of this leads to better serviceability.
