Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has developed 100% LED lighting on all Utility refrigerated and dry van trailers as well as tandem and tridem axle flatbeds, to provide greater visibility for all drivers on the road and lower maintenance costs.
According to Craig Bennett, Utility’s Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, they will utilize a new LED mid ship clearance light that also functions as a turn signal.
Developed by Grote Industries, this new LED flashing marker light also functions as a side turn light. compared with the current LED turn signal lights in the mid-trailer position generally provided rearward illumination only, by combining the mid-trailer turn indicator with the marker function, plus a new lens design that provides visibility both forward and backward, Grote has provided the driver an at-a-glance reassurance that the lamp is operating as it flashes when the turn signal is on and also cautions other drivers on the road when the tractor trailer is making a wide turn.
