WHAT? The X-Press Lift Tool is the product which eliminates the manual cranking of landing gear. Patented, high-torque specially designed drill to raise/lower a trailer in mere seconds SAFELY.
TORQUE? XLT needs power to raise a trailer and torque is a by product. To ensure 100% safe use, TEDs (Torque Elimination Devices) have been designed. For fleets, one attached to the drill and one on the trailer interlock to eliminate all the torque. While not required, the use of this TED method guarantees a quick and safe environment and recommended for fleets. At fleet price of $80 per trailer, safety is inexpensive and quick with the XLT products. The other methods, described below, will be safe if used properly.
SAVINGS? The savings in time is obvious when the landing gear task is now less than 15 seconds. Other savings are just as important: no more injuries, rested driver, time in inclement weather reduced, reduction of landing gear maintenance.
INSTALLATION? Fleet installation is a simple 5-10 minute installation per trailer using the TED I-Beam product. No installation required for the other two use scenarios. Only work effort is removal of the crank handle on the trailer.
ROI? At a cost of $500 a kit, a one year warranty, 20-50 uses of drill on one battery, ROI is calculated to be 2 months. Eliminating an injury cannot be quantified but can be priceless!
HOW? The handle on the trailer is removed and a latch pin is inserted into the landing gear shaft. This allows for the specially designed quick connect coupler, to attach to the shaft and rotate it. XLT Drill replaces all manual work and safely eliminates arm, back and shoulder strains (and time).
